No resulta fácil
Jose Luis Perales Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
olvidarlo todo y empezar de nuevo.
No resulta fácil
ignorar la huella que ha dejado un beso.
No resulta fácil, cuando se ha querido,
encontrar de nuevo lo que se ha perdido.
No resulta fácil, no resulta fácil
No es tan hermoso ver la luna en la ventana
ni está tan limpio el aire de la mañana.
Es tu distancia estando cerca la que mas duele
y tu mirada quieta la que me hiere.
No resulta fácil
destruírlo todo y levantar el vuelo.
No resulta fácil
encontrar de nuevo a quien decir, te quiero.
No resulta fácil inventarse un beso,
ni esa playa blanca que era nuestro lecho.
No resulta fácil, no resulta fácil
despertar el día con un beso nuevo.
No hay primavera que me arrastre hasta sus flores
ni cantan en mi huerto los ruiseñores.
Es tu distancia estando cerca la que mas duele
y tu mirada quieta la que me hiere.
No resulta fácil
olvidarlo todo y empezar de nuevo.
The song "No resulta fácil" by José Luis Perales is about the difficulty of moving on and starting anew after a breakup. The lyrics suggest that while it may be tempting to try and forget the past and begin again, it is not easy to do so. The nostalgia and longing for what was lost can make it nearly impossible to move forward.
The opening lines, "No resulta fácil/ olvidarlo todo y empezar de nuevo," (It is not easy/ to forget everything and start over) set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer laments the difficulty of ignoring the memories of the past, particularly the memory of a kiss, and the challenge of finding love again. Even imagining a new kiss or visiting a place that was once special, like a white sandy beach, doesn't feel the same as it once did.
The refrain, "Es tu distancia estando cerca la que mas duele/ y tu mirada quieta la que me hiere," (It's your distance even though you're close that hurts me the most/ and your still gaze that wounds me) echoes the sentiment that it is not just the loss of a relationship, but the distance and lack of connection with the person that makes it so hard to let go.
Overall, "No resulta fácil" is a poignant reflection on the difficulty of moving on after heartbreak, and the power of memories and distance to prevent true healing.
