Cansada de La Calle (part. Andrés Campo)
Mala Rodríguez
Yearning for Genuine Love: A Journey from the Streets
Mala Rodríguez's song "Cansada de La Calle" featuring Andrés Campo is a poignant exploration of the weariness and disillusionment that comes from a life spent in the fast lane. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who has grown tired of the superficial and transient nature of street life, yearning instead for something more meaningful and lasting. The repeated refrain "Cansada de la calle" (Tired of the street) underscores this longing for genuine love and connection, a stark contrast to the fleeting encounters and empty promises that have characterized her past experiences.
The song delves into the emotional exhaustion that comes from a lifestyle filled with chaos and unpredictability. The imagery of "tantas citas que saben a poco" (so many dates that taste like little) and "tantos juegos que acaban en na'" (so many games that end in nothing) highlights the emptiness and dissatisfaction that accompany such a life. The artist expresses a desire to break free from this cycle, seeking a love that is true and reliable, as opposed to the temporary thrills and disappointments she has known.
Mala Rodríguez also touches on the duality of love and hate, acknowledging the complexity of emotions that come with relationships. The line "Amor y odio es lo que dan, amor y odio es lo que quitan" (Love and hate is what they give, love and hate is what they take) reflects the bittersweet nature of love, where joy and pain often coexist. The song ultimately captures a moment of introspection and a desire for change, as the artist contemplates the possibility of finding something real and enduring amidst the chaos of her past.
