Siempre Fue (part. Juan Duque)

Jhay P's song "Siempre Fue," featuring Juan Duque, delves into the emotional turmoil of a love lost and the lingering pain that follows. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of regret and heartache, as the protagonist grapples with the realization that their former partner has moved on. The repeated refrain "Siempre fue que dolió" (It always hurt) underscores the persistent ache of seeing someone you once loved find happiness without you. This sentiment is further emphasized by the lines "Primera vez que me duele verte feliz" (First time it hurts to see you happy), highlighting the bittersweet nature of witnessing an ex-partner's newfound joy.

The song explores themes of self-reflection and accountability, as the protagonist acknowledges their shortcomings in the relationship. The line "No supe amar, tarde aprendí" (I didn't know how to love, I learned too late) suggests a sense of regret for not appreciating their partner when they had the chance. This introspection is coupled with a sense of longing and unresolved feelings, as the protagonist admits to still searching for their lost love, despite knowing that they have moved on.

Cultural references, such as the use of the term "tusa," a Colombian slang word for heartbreak, add depth to the song's emotional landscape. The lyrics also touch on the fleeting nature of life and love, with the line "Nadie sabe lo que tiene, la vida es corta" (No one knows what they have, life is short) serving as a poignant reminder of the importance of cherishing relationships while they last. Ultimately, "Siempre Fue" is a heartfelt exploration of love, loss, and the enduring pain of letting go.
