Siempre yo

Gloria Trevi's song 'Siempre yo' delves into the relentless and often thankless responsibilities that fall upon the protagonist, who feels overwhelmed by the constant demands placed on her. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a young girl who is always the one to wake up early, prepare breakfast, and handle various chores, both at home and in school. The repetition of 'siempre yo' (always me) underscores her frustration and sense of being taken for granted.

The song also touches on the protagonist's desire for fairness and justice. She expresses that while she enjoys helping out, she resents the feeling of being exploited. This sentiment is particularly poignant when she sings about wanting 'momentos claros' (clear moments) amidst the 'momentos duros' (hard moments), highlighting her yearning for balance and recognition. The lyrics suggest that her contributions are often overlooked, and she is left feeling like a 'slave' to her responsibilities.

Culturally, 'Siempre yo' resonates with many who have experienced similar pressures, especially young women in traditional households where gender roles dictate that they take on a significant share of domestic duties. Gloria Trevi, known for her rebellious and outspoken persona, uses this song to give voice to those who feel burdened by societal expectations. Her musical style, characterized by its energetic and emotive delivery, amplifies the song's message, making it both a personal anthem and a broader social commentary on the need for equity and appreciation in everyday life.
