Rencor translates to "resentment" or "grudge". It's a strong emotional word that captures a deep-seated negative feeling, making it more impactful than common words.
In the song, the lyric "Y las ganas solo las quita el rencor" (And the desire is only taken away by resentment) highlights how this powerful emotion can extinguish even the strongest desires. It's a key word that reveals the underlying conflict and emotional struggle in the relationship described in the song.
Have you ever been stuck in a relationship where you know you're completely different, but you just can't seem to quit each other? That's exactly what Dudi is singing about in "POLOS OPUESTOS" [Opposite Poles]. He kicks things off by admitting, "Lo que no te dije, ma' / Quédate que se nos ha acabao' el tiempo" [What I didn't tell you, ma' / Stay, we've run out of time], setting the scene for a complicated love story.
He's pretty blunt about their dynamic, saying, "somos polos opuestos / Pero cuando te vas, yo siempre vuelvo / Y cuando tú me quieres, yo no te quiero" [we are opposite poles / But when you leave, I always come back / And when you love me, I don't love you]. It's a classic push and pull, where they can't quite be together, but they can't quite be apart either. Even though they're barely greeting each other anymore, he wonders, "¿Pero qué va a pasar con nosotros dos? / Si en verdad tú y yo nunca decimos 'Adiós'" [But what's going to happen with us two? / If in truth you and I never say 'Goodbye']. It seems like they're both aware it's time to move on, but the thought of seeing her with someone else, or having to pretend he's forgotten her, is just too painful. This song really gets into the messy reality of a love that just won't die, even when it probably should.
