Como Hacer A Un Lado El Pasado
Como si fuese tan facil deshacerse del amor
como si fuese una prenda que se quita y se acabó
así de simple y sencillo pides que te olvide.

Como si fuese tan facil arrancarte de mi mente

como si lo vivido hubiese sido tan intrascendente
así de simple y sencillo pides que te olvide.

Como hacer a un lado el pasado
me confundes con piedra,
yo soy humano
Como hacer a un lado el pasado
me confundes contigo
yo si te amo.
(X2)

Como si fuese tan facil suplicarle a mi cerebro
que le ordene al corazón que anule cualquier recuerdo
así de simple y sencillo me pides que te olvide.

Como hacer a un lado el pasado
me confundes con piedra,
yo soy humano
Como hacer a un lado el pasado
me confundes contigo

yo si te amo.
(repeat)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Luis Hernandez's song "A Tu Lado" are reflective of the experience of longing for a past love, and the difficulty in moving on from such a significant emotional connection. The song is directed towards the listener's former lover, who seems to believe that moving past their relationship should be a simple and uncomplicated process. The first verse imagines the lover asking the listener to forget them as if they were simply a piece of clothing that could be discarded, but the singer acknowledges that love is much more difficult to shed. The second verse ponders how one could possibly eradicate the memory of the relationship, comparing it to attempting to extract an indelible mark from the mind. The third verse suggests that the listener's former lover is making an unfair request, asking the listener to forget everything that they experienced together as if it had no significance.

The chorus repeats the question of how to move past the past, but with a twist: the listener's former lover confuses the listener with the problem they seek to solve. The listener is unable to forget their past love because the relationship was too meaningful and too human to simply discard. The repetition of the chorus underscores the difficulty of the task at hand, and the deep emotions at play in the singer's heart.
