"Capilla y Catedral" is a song by Mexican singer Espinoza Paz. The title translates to "Chapel and Cathedral" in English. The song tells the story of a person who is involved in a love triangle, where they are the lesser priority compared to another person. The lyrics express the narrator's frustration and emotional pain as they realize they are not the official partner in the relationship. They feel like a small chapel in comparison to the other person, who is seen as a grand cathedral. The narrator acknowledges their role as a willing participant in this game but decides that they no longer want to be an unconditional lover. Despite the other person complaining about their official partner, the narrator only receives scraps and leftovers. While the other person's confidence remains intact, the narrator's self-esteem diminishes. They understand that they are not the main focus and are tired of crying and being hurt. The song also mentions that the other person claims to be considering leaving their official partner for the narrator, but the narrator sees this as a lie or a fairy tale that will never come true. In the end, the narrator decides that when the other person becomes free from their official relationship, they won't be interested anymore. They no longer want to engage in a clandestine relationship and want to be respected. The narrator understands that they are not the main priority and decides to let go. Overall, "Capilla y Catedral" is a passionate and emotional song that explores the pain of being involved in a love triangle and the protagonist's decision to move on from an unfulfilling relationship.
