Cenizas
Carolina Lao Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Después de tanto soportar la pena
De sentir tu olvido
Después que todo
Te lo dio mi pobre corazón herido
Has vuelto a verme
Para que yo sepa de tu desventura
Por la amargura de un amor
Igual al que me diste tú

Ya no podré ni perdonar ni darte
Lo que tú me diste
Has de saber que en un cariño muerto
No existe rencor
Y si pretendes remover las ruinas
Que tú mismo hiciste
Sólo cenizas hallarás
De todo lo que fue mi amor

Después de tanto soportar la pena
De sentir tu olvido
Después que todo
Te lo dio mi pobre corazón herido
Has vuelto a verme
Para que yo sepa de tu desventura
Por la amargura de un amor
Igual al que me diste tú

Ya no podré ni perdonar ni darte
Lo que tú me diste
Has de saber que en un cariño muerto
No existe rencor
Y si pretendes remover las ruinas
Que tú mismo hiciste
Sólo cenizas hallarás
De todo lo que fue mi amor

Sólo cenizas hallarás
De todo lo que fue mi amor

Después que todo
Te lo dio mi pobre corazón

Overall Meaning

In "Cenizas," Carolina Lao expresses the pain and heartache she has endured after being forgotten by someone she deeply loved. The lyrics suggest that her heart has been wounded and left to suffer in solitude. Despite this, the person who caused her pain returns to her life, perhaps seeking solace in sharing their own misfortunes. However, Carolina acknowledges that their love was filled with bitterness and left her with a wounded heart just like the one they gave her.

Carolina asserts that she can no longer forgive or give back what was given to her. She emphasizes that in a love that has died, there is no room for resentment. If the person intends to disturb the ruins they created, they will only find ashes – remnants of what their love used to be.

The repetition of the verses underscores Carolina's anguish and her struggle to bear the pain of being forgotten. The lyrics highlight the contrast between the love she gave wholeheartedly and the heartbreak she experienced as a result.

Ultimately, the song conveys a sense of finality and acceptance. Carolina realizes that nothing can be salvaged from a love that has turned to ashes. The repeated line "Sólo cenizas hallarás" (You will only find ashes) serves as a reminder of the devastation and irreversible damage caused by this failed relationship.
