Tormento translates to "torment" or "anguish." It's a strong, evocative word that conveys deep suffering and emotional pain, making it more impactful than common synonyms.
In the song, the artist uses tormento to describe the intense pain caused by a past love who abandoned him. He sings, "Pero más grande fue mi tormento, Simplemente me abandonó" (But greater was my torment, She simply abandoned me), highlighting the profound emotional impact of the breakup.
Aldo Trujillo and La Décima Banda bring us "La Que Sea," a song about moving on from a painful breakup with a surprisingly chill attitude. Our singer tells us he's been wandering the world "Sin rumbo fijo" [without a fixed course], feeling neither pain nor love. He describes himself as "el fantasma de mi pasado" [the ghost of my past], one of the souls "que olvida Dios" [that God forgets]. Ouch! It turns out his great love, his "locura y adoración" [madness and adoration], abandoned him, causing immense torment.
But here's the twist: instead of wallowing, he's totally over it! He declares, "hoy la que venga muy bienvenida, si quiere irse no más te vas" [today, whoever comes is welcome; if you want to leave, just go]. He's not one of those guys who wants to "matarse o vengar su amor" [kill himself or avenge his love]. Quite the opposite, he actually blesses them for the love they once shared. He's confident that one day his ex will come back crying, but he'd forgive her because, ultimately, she's just "la que es mi vida, las otras son" [the one who is my life, the others are]. In other words, "la que sea, para mí es igual" [whoever it is, for me it's all the same]. Talk about a blunt way to say you've moved on!
