Cuerpo sin alma

The song 'Cuerpo sin alma' by Adolescent's Orquesta, also known as Los Adolescentes, tells a heart-wrenching story of unrequited love and its devastating consequences. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a woman deeply in love, who is left waiting and crying, her heart filled with sorrow. She doesn't understand why her love is not reciprocated, especially since she considers herself a good person who has devoted herself entirely to her partner.

The recurring theme in the song is the imbalance of love within a relationship, where one person loves more deeply than the other. This imbalance leads to a tragic end, as the woman, in her despair, accidentally overdoses on sleeping pills. She did not intend to die; she merely wanted to escape the pain of her unrequited love. The phrase 'Pero siempre hay alguien que ama más' ('But there's always someone who loves more') encapsulates the core message of the song, highlighting the vulnerability that comes with loving someone more than they love you.

The final verses reveal the man's infidelity and lack of care for the woman who loved him. He returns home drunk, only to find her lifeless body, a 'cuerpo sin alma' ('body without a soul'). The song serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of neglecting and mistreating those who love us, and the irreversible damage that can result from such carelessness.
