Porque

The song 'Porque' by Floricienta, a project led by Argentine actress and singer Florencia Bertotti, is a poignant ballad that delves into the feelings of longing and unrequited love. The lyrics paint a picture of someone watching the rain and contemplating the unchanging nature of their surroundings, which serves as a metaphor for their unchanging feelings of love and desire. The mention of natural elements like the sun, the moon, and the river, which will continue to be as they are, reflects the singer's realization that life goes on despite their personal heartache.

The chorus, 'Porque me quedo muda, prendida en tu mirada,' which translates to 'Why do I stay silent, captivated by your gaze,' captures the essence of being spellbound by someone who may not reciprocate those feelings. The song's narrator is lost in a fantasy, longing for a fairy tale ending with princes, fairies, and dreams, but is painfully aware that these are mere illusions. The line 'Por que sin ti ya no hay mas vida' ('Because without you there is no more life') emphasizes the depth of their emotional dependency on the object of their affection.

The song's bridge offers a glimmer of hope, with the narrator dreaming of a day when their love will arrive in a 'white carriage,' reminiscent of classic fairy tales. However, the reality is that they remain in a dreamlike state, waiting for a love that may never be reciprocated. The repeated 'La la la' at the end of the song suggests a return to the dream, a refusal to let go of the fantasy, despite the pain it brings. 'Porque' is a heartfelt expression of the yearning and the bittersweet nature of loving someone from afar.
