Hoy
La Bien Querida Lyrics

The lyrics to "Hoy" by La Bien Querida convey a sense of mixed emotions and conflicting feelings towards someone. The singer admits that there are things they would rather not know and they no longer want to understand what the person they are addressing already knows. Despite this, upon seeing the person again, the singer decides to start loving them again. The second verse acknowledges the daunting question of death, and how the singer was unable to answer it when asked by the person. The repetition of "pero hoy, decidi" (but today, I decided) at the end of the song emphasizes the singer's desire to let go of the past and begin anew, claiming agency over their feelings instead of letting external factors dictate them. The line "que la muerte es mirar y no verte" (that death is looking and not seeing you) is a striking imagery that implies that the worst kind of death is to be physically alive but emotionally disconnected from someone.

The lyrics of "Hoy" are open to interpretation and can resonate differently with different listeners. It could be about forgiveness and second chances in a romantic relationship, or a reflection on the uncertainty and unpredictability of life, or a combination of both. The song's melancholic tone and the use of minor chords add to the emotional weight of the lyrics. The choice of the band La Bien Querida's name (which translates to "the well-loved one") adds an ironic twist to the sadness in their music.
