Corazón, Corazón

Adolescent's Orquesta, also known as Los Adolescentes, brings a heartfelt and poignant narrative in their song 'Corazón, Corazón.' The lyrics delve deep into the emotional turmoil of love, betrayal, and the longing for genuine affection. The repeated plea for love and warmth from the 'corazón' (heart) underscores a profound need for emotional connection and sincerity. The singer's heartache is palpable as he grapples with the pain of lies and betrayal, which are described as deeply wounding when one is in love.

The song's narrative is rich with metaphors and emotional imagery. The heart is personified, depicted as both a source of love and a cause of suffering. The lyrics 'duele una mentira cuando se ama vida mía' (a lie hurts when one loves, my life) and 'duele una traición' (a betrayal hurts) highlight the deep scars that deceit can leave on a loving heart. The singer's struggle with trust and the fear of becoming emotionally hardened ('No hagas que de piedra me convierta y no ame más') adds a layer of vulnerability and desperation to the song.

Culturally, 'Corazón, Corazón' resonates with themes common in Latin music, where love and heartbreak are often explored with intense passion and emotion. The song's rhythm and melody, characteristic of salsa, enhance the emotional weight of the lyrics, making the listener feel the singer's pain and longing. The repeated declarations of love ('Te quiero, yo te quiero, yo te amo, te amo') juxtaposed with the plea to not be hurt anymore ('No me lastimes más') create a powerful contrast that captures the complexity of romantic relationships.
