Que Tienes Corazón

Grupo Néctar's song "Que Tienes Corazón" is a poignant exploration of heartache and regret. The lyrics repeatedly implore the listener to acknowledge their suffering and tears, suggesting a deep emotional pain associated with love and loss. The song's narrator seems to be addressing someone who has let their love go, and is now experiencing the consequences of that decision. The repetition of the phrase 'Dime que tienes corazón' (Tell me that you have a heart) emphasizes the universality of such feelings, implying that to feel such sorrow is to be human.

The song also touches on the theme of remorse, as it points out the irony of lamenting over a lost love that one failed to hold onto. The lines 'Por que te quejas si ayer / Lo dejaste marchar' (Why do you complain if yesterday / You let him go) and 'Por que te quejas si no supiste retener' (Why do you complain if you did not know how to keep him) suggest that the pain is self-inflicted. This could be a call to action, urging the listener to reach out and express their love before it's too late, as indicated by 'Llámale, dile que la quieres como ayer' (Call him, tell him that you love him like before).

Grupo Néctar, known for their cumbia music, infuses this song with a blend of traditional South American rhythms and modern sounds, creating a backdrop that is both danceable and melancholic. The music complements the lyrics by providing a sense of urgency and emotional depth, which is characteristic of the cumbia genre. The dedication 'Para Roberto Morales / Con mucho cariño' (For Roberto Morales / With much affection) adds a personal touch, suggesting that the song may have been inspired by a specific individual's experience or is being offered as a form of solace.
