Son Las Diez

The song 'Son Las Diez' by Nestor En Bloque, also known as N-blq, is a poignant narrative of longing and heartbreak. The lyrics open with the acknowledgment of time, 'Son las diez' ('It's ten o'clock'), and the realization that the loved one will not come. This sets a scene of solitude and despair, as the singer's soul 'bleeds sweetly,' a metaphor for the pain of unrequited love or separation. The refusal to resign to this fate speaks to the hope that still flickers within the singer's heart, despite the circumstances.

The song delves deeper into the complexity of the relationship, suggesting that the loved one is with someone else, but their affection is not genuine. The singer is convinced that the partner does not truly love the person they are with and is only staying out of stubbornness. This belief is rooted in the conviction that love cannot be faked indefinitely and that eventually, the truth will come out. The singer's willingness to wait for the return of their beloved is a testament to their devotion and the belief in the power of true love to overcome obstacles.

The chorus of the song is particularly evocative, as it anticipates the regret that the loved one will feel. The singer predicts that the partner will miss the warmth and love they once shared and will cry for the loss of the relationship. This anticipation of sorrow is not vindictive but rather comes from a place of certainty in the bond they shared. The repetition of these lines emphasizes the depth of emotion and the conviction that the singer's love remains unshaken, even in the face of rejection.
