amargarmeto embitter myself / to make myself bitter

Amargarme comes from the verb amargar, meaning 'to embitter' or 'to make bitter'. When used reflexively, as in amargarme, it means 'to make oneself bitter' or 'to dwell on bitterness'.

In the song, the lyric "¿para que amargarme?" (why should I make myself bitter?) captures a moment of internal struggle. The singer is contemplating whether to continue waiting for a lost love or to move on, questioning the point of letting bitterness consume them. It's an emotionally resonant word that speaks to the universal experience of heartbreak and the choice to either succumb to or overcome it.

Ever wondered what happens after the final goodbye? Nivel Codiciado's "Que Vas A Hacer" dives right into that emotional rollercoaster. The song tells the story of someone left behind, clinging to the hope of one day reliving old memories with a lost love. The singer tries to live one day at a time but finds themselves sleepless, in pain, and constantly thinking about their ex, using drinks to replace the warmth of their arms.

But this isn't just a sad song. It's filled with powerful questions for both the ex-lover and the singer themself. The chorus asks, "¿Que vas a hacer?" (What are you going to do?) when you find out I was looking for you? And then, "¿Qué voy a hacer?" (What am I going to do?) when I see you happy with someone else? It's a journey from heartbreak to a tough realization: waiting around will only lead to bitterness, and if their ex ever decides to return, it will be too late.
