estorbanbother / hinder

Estorban translates to "bother" or "hinder," but it carries a stronger sense of being an obstacle or an annoyance. It's not a word you hear every day in casual conversation, making it more impactful.

In the song, the singer laments, "Y te estorban esas cosas que adoraste más de mí" (And those things you loved most about me now bother you). This word perfectly captures the bitter irony of how what was once cherished can become an impediment in a relationship, highlighting a shift from adoration to irritation.

Bunbury's "Lo Que Más Te Gustó De Mí" is a really direct song about a relationship where one person feels like they're being picked apart. He sings, "Me dices que soy un poco particular" [You tell me I'm a bit peculiar], and it's clear he's frustrated because the very things his partner once loved are now what they want to change. He remembers how his "pequeñas bromas te hacían reír hasta llorar" [little jokes made you laugh until you cried], but now those same things are hated.

It's a defiant song, too. Even though his partner might not truly know him, he declares, "De todas formas y por suerte, alegría me sobra" [Anyway, and luckily, I have plenty of joy]. He's not backing down, stating, "Lo que más te gustó de mí es lo que quieres cambiar" [What you liked most about me is what you want to change]. He believes "una retirada a tiempo es siempre una derrota" [a timely retreat is always a defeat], showing he's ready to stand his ground, even when it feels like "palabras como piedras lanzadas con fuerza contra las ventanas" [words like stones thrown forcefully against the windows] are coming his way.
