Amor secreto

The song 'Amor Secreto' by Los Ángeles Azules, a Mexican musical group known for their cumbia sonidera genre, delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the pain of a secret affection. The lyrics express the protagonist's confusion and despair over falling in love with someone when there are so many other possibilities around. The repeated question '¿Que paso? ¿Como me sucedió?' reflects the bewilderment of falling in love unexpectedly and against one's better judgment.

The phrase 'amor secreto' is central to the song, highlighting the clandestine nature of the protagonist's feelings. The love that 'burns slowly' and is like a 'procession that goes inside' suggests a deep, internal struggle, where the emotions are intense yet must be kept hidden. This internal procession could be a metaphor for the silent parade of feelings that one carries within, unable to share with the world or with the object of their affection.

The complexity of the situation is further compounded by the fact that the protagonist is in love with a friend, which adds layers of friendship, loyalty, and fear of ruining the existing relationship. The line 'y yo estoy entre la espada y la pared' (I am between the sword and the wall) conveys the sense of being trapped between their feelings and the impossibility of revealing them, especially since the person they love is with someone else. The song captures the essence of a love that is both passionate and painful, a secret burden that the protagonist carries.
