Y Cómo Es Él

In 'Y Cómo Es Él,' Vicente Fernández delves into the raw emotions of heartbreak and acceptance. The song is a poignant narrative of a man confronting his partner about her new lover. The opening lines, 'Mirándote a los ojos, juraría / Que tienes algo nuevo que contarme,' set the stage for a conversation filled with vulnerability and pain. He urges her to speak up, fearing that delaying the conversation might make it too late to address his feelings.

The chorus, 'Y cómo es él / En qué lugar se enamoró de ti,' is a series of questions that reveal his deep curiosity and anguish. He wants to know everything about the man who has taken his place, from where he is from to how he spends his free time. The repeated line, 'Porque ha robado un trozo de mi vida / Es un ladrón que me ha robado todo,' underscores the sense of loss and betrayal he feels. This metaphor of the new lover as a thief who has stolen a part of his life is powerful and evocative, capturing the essence of his emotional turmoil.

As the song progresses, the man shows a mix of resignation and care for his partner. He advises her to get ready and take an umbrella in case it rains, showing that despite his pain, he still cares for her well-being. The lines, 'Y abrígate, te sienta bien ese vestido gris / Sonríete, que no sospeche que has llorado,' suggest that he wants her to be happy, even if it means hiding her tears. The song ends with him preparing to leave, asking for forgiveness for his questions, indicating his acceptance of the situation and his decision to move on.
