De No Olvidar
La Vela Puerca Lyrics

The lyrics to La Vela Puerca's "De No Olvidar" convey a sense of longing and pain, as the singer reflects on a past love that they are unable to forget. The opening lines, "why tu recuerdo permanecido me está diciendo, me está diciendo que no hay olvido" ("and your memory remains, telling me, telling me that there is no forgetting"), set the tone for the rest of the song. Despite the passage of time, the memories of this relationship are still very much present for the singer.

The chorus, "Llevo en el alma, como puñales, filos metidos, filos metidos en manantiales" ("I carry in my soul, like knives, blades embedded, blades embedded in springs"), is particularly powerful. The imagery suggests a deep and enduring pain, with the knives representing the emotional wounds inflicted by the breakup. The use of "manantiales" (springs) adds a poignant touch, perhaps suggesting that the wounds are still fresh and bleeding.

The rest of the lyrics continue to explore the singer's emotions: they have given up hope of reconciliation ("ya no te espero"), but are still haunted by the past ("a qué has venido, vuelve al pasado"). The final line, "quién te ha llamado" ("who called you"), adds a sense of confusion and desperation - the singer is unable to understand why these memories continue to plague them.

Overall, "De No Olvidar" is a moving exploration of love, loss, and the enduring power of memory.
