Quise Olvidar
Diego Torres Lyrics

In Diego Torres's song Quise Olvidar, he portrays the struggle of wanting to forget someone, yet constantly thinking about that person. The lyrics "Son secretos dentro del mar, nadie sabe dónde estarán" (There are secrets within the sea, no one knows where they will be), can be interpreted as a metaphor for the memories that the singer is trying to forget. The ocean represents the mind, where memories can be buried and forgotten, but they can resurface at any time.

The singer expresses how far he has gone to forget this person, finding himself in a desert of madness where the wind no longer blows and time is the only cure for his wounds. The lyrics "Y Ilegué tan lejos, que encontré un desierto de locura,” (I went so far that I found a desert of madness) express how far the singer has gone to forget this person. The following lyrics, "Quise olvidar y fue imposible, pensando en ti todo este tiempo, no pasa el tiempo" (I wanted to forget, but it was impossible, thinking of you all this time, time does not pass) emphasize the struggle of the singer's efforts to forget.

The second verse talks about the memories of that person being unforgettable, as the lyrics "Son miradas que no se olvidan, siempre un viaje y una partida" (There are looks that are not forgotten, always a trip and a departure) convey. The singer also describes being lost in a bar in Cadaqués, far from everything, including his past memories. Despite this, he finds himself constantly thinking of this person. The final lyrics, "Quise olvidar y los recuerdos viven por dentro por una imagen y un sentimiento" (I wanted to forget, but the memories live inside me, through an image and a feeling) emphasize how memories can be intangible, living within.
