Arrepentida
Cirilo Lyrics

The song "Arrepentida" by Cirilo explores the emotions and experiences of someone feeling regret and longing for a lost love. The first verse sets the mood by describing a cloudy and rainy atmosphere, symbolizing the sadness and confusion the singer is feeling. The mention of "viejos recuerdos" (old memories) illuminating their being suggests that these memories are resurfacing and playing a significant role in their current state.

The second verse delves into the singer's desperate search for illusions or hopes that will make their lost love return. They believe that life is about giving life and exploring it, implying that they want their ex-partner to see the potential they have to offer. However, there is a sense of uncertainty regarding what is best for the person they are addressing ("tú que quieres venir a por mí, no sé que es mejor para ti"). It's as if the singer understands that their ex-lover may have their own journey to pursue and may be better off without them.

The chorus repeats the same uncertainty, questioning what the person wants and what they want to say. The repetition emphasizes the disconnect and distance between the singer and their old lover. They declare that they are no longer in the same place or emotionally available ("ya no estoy aquí").

The third verse suggests that the ex-lover may believe they have moved on and forgotten the pain of the past. However, the singer insists that time is necessary for clarity and understanding ("tiempo necesario, es para esclarecer"). They express their desire to avoid causing more tears and pain, indicating that the repeated cycle of heartbreak has worn them down ("no quiero más llanto, que empape tu piel, estoy ya muy harto").

The final repetition of the chorus reinforces the emotional separation between the singer and their ex-lover. It further emphasizes that the singer has moved on and is no longer present for their ex-partner ("ya no estoy aquí"). Ultimately, the lyrics capture the complex emotions of regret, longing, and resignation in the aftermath of a failed relationship.
