Todo Vuelve

La Joaqui's song "Todo Vuelve" is a powerful anthem of self-empowerment and the cyclical nature of karma in relationships. The lyrics tell the story of a woman who has moved on from a deceitful lover who played with her emotions. She reflects on how he pretended to be in love, yet was mediocre in his affections, and now she has found someone else to give what he once desired. The phrase "todo vuelve" (everything comes back) is a reminder that actions have consequences, and while everything else may return, she will not.

The song is rich with metaphors and cultural references. La Joaqui uses the imagery of fire to describe the lover's reckless behavior, and the metaphor of a "jinete" (rider) and "yegua" (mare) to illustrate the dynamics of their relationship. The lyrics also highlight her transformation and newfound confidence, as she describes herself as a "turra fina" (fine rogue) and "arrabalera con corte de gangster" (a streetwise woman with a gangster edge). This blend of elegance and street smarts is a testament to her resilience and ability to rise above the betrayal.

Musically, "Todo Vuelve" is set to a cumbia rhythm, a genre known for its infectious beats and danceable melodies. This choice adds a layer of irony to the song, as the upbeat tempo contrasts with the serious message of heartbreak and retribution. La Joaqui's delivery is both assertive and playful, capturing the essence of moving on with strength and dignity. The song serves as a reminder that while love can be tumultuous, self-worth and karma ultimately prevail.
