Pablo Milanés's "No Ha Sido Fácil" is a really honest look at staying true to yourself, even when it's tough. He sings about growing up and being part of his generation, different from the last, but still a continuation of his childhood, born from the hard work of those he loved. He says, "Soy como quisieron ser, pero tratando de ser yo" [I am like they wanted me to be, but trying to be myself], acknowledging the influence of others while asserting his own identity.
He admits, "No ha sido fácil tener una opinión que haga valer mi vocación mi libertad para escoger" [It hasn't been easy to have an opinion that validates my calling, my freedom to choose]. This song is all about embracing love and life without fear of the future, promising fidelity to his own way of being. He even invites someone to share in his journey, saying, "Sufre conmigo el error que cometeré, Goza también lo que de bien se ha de lograr" [Suffer with me the mistake I will make, Also enjoy the good that will be achieved]. It's a beautiful, open invitation to experience life's ups and downs together, always striving for that dream place.
