Para Olvidarte
Carlos Cuevas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me estoy, quedando poco a poco ciego
Cerré de un golpe todas las ventanas
Y até mi boca para no llamarte
Sin embargo, no me ha bastado con romper todas tus cosas
Le he puesto precio hasta el más mínimo detalle
Vendo la calle, donde me amaste
Vendo las lunas, que me enseñaste
Para olvidarte, así no mas
Soy tan cobarde que me falta vanidad
Para evitar esta canción
Para olvidarte estoy fatal
Pues ya lo ves, no resistí
Rompí a llorar cuando te vi
Para olvidarte,
Debo negar, que alguna noche te perdí
Debo engañar al corazón
Debo enseñarle a mentir
Para que diga que jamás
Que yo jamás lloré por ti
Para olvidarte,
Como veo que olvidarte es imposible
Voy a quedarme aquí detrás de las ventanas,
Lo que me quede por vivir
Sin otro objeto que vivir
Para olvidarte, así no mas
Soy tan cobarde que me falta vanidad
Para evitar esta canción
Para olvidarte estoy fatal
Pues ya lo ves, no resistí
Rompí a llorar cuando te vi
Para olvidarte,
Debo negar, que alguna noche te perdí
Debo engañar al corazón
Debo enseñarle a mentir
Para que diga que jamás
Que yo jamás lloré por ti
Para olvidarte,
Y como veo que olvidarte es imposible
Voy a quedarme aquí detrás de las ventanas,
Lo que me quede por vivir
Sin otro objeto que vivir
Para olvidarte
The lyrics of Carlos Cuevas's song "Para Olvidarte" convey the emotions and struggles of trying to forget someone who has left a mark on your life. The singer describes how he is slowly losing his sight, both physically and emotionally, in his attempt to move on from his lost love. He has closed the windows and sealed his mouth to silence himself from calling out to her. Despite breaking her things and even selling the streets and moons where they shared love, he cannot forget her. He screams her name but gets no response, and the pain of wanting to forget her but being unable to do so is overwhelming.
The chorus continues this theme, as the singer admits that he is a coward and lacks the vanity to stop himself from needing to remember her through this song. He cannot resist the urge to cry when he sees her, and in order to forget her, he must deny that he ever lost her or cry for her. He must even teach his heart to lie and say that he never shed tears for her. He finally resigns himself to the fact that forgetting her is impossible, and he will remain behind closed windows for the rest of his life to avoid further heartache.
In summary, "Para Olvidarte" is a poignant reflection of the human struggle to move on from a past love, in which the singer tries everything in his power to forget the person but ultimately realizes that it is impossible. The song cleverly uses the image of closing windows and losing sight to represent the singer's attempt to shut out the memories of his lost love. The intense emotions conveyed in the lyrics are evocative and resonate with anyone who has experienced the pain of a broken heart.
