Prisionero (feat. Ulises Bueno)

The song 'Prisionero' by MYA, featuring Ulises Bueno, delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the feeling of being trapped by affection that is not reciprocated. The lyrics express a deep longing for a love that has ended, with the protagonist wishing they could become strangers to avoid the pain that memories bring. The metaphor of love as a prison encapsulates the sense of confinement and helplessness the singer feels, unable to move on despite knowing that the other person will not return.

The imagery of being left alone with a bottle signifies the attempt to drown sorrows and the act of remembering the loved one while drinking, highlighting the struggle to let go. The song also touches on the theme of hope against reality, as the singer acknowledges the different wavelengths they are on with their former lover, yet still holds onto the hope of their return. The repeated line 'Y se que no volverás pero igualmente te espero' ('And I know you won't come back but I still wait for you') underscores the paradox of knowing the truth but being unable to act on it.

The collaboration with Ulises Bueno adds a cultural layer to the song, as it brings together artists from different regions of Argentina, Córdoba and Tucumán, symbolizing the universal nature of the song's themes. The fusion of their musical styles creates a poignant and relatable narrative that resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of loving someone who doesn't love them back.
