Ya no espero tu llamada
Porque aquí no hay nada más
Tengo la daga clavada
Y no la voy a sacar

Tus labios dejaron huella
Pienso en ti para que duela
No dejo que tú lo veas

Así sin mirarnos, así lo hago yo (oh, oh, oh)
Así sin tocarnos, así lo hago yo (oh, oh, oh)
Así sin tus manos, así lo hago yo (oh, oh, oh)
Así yo te olvido, así lo hago yo (oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)

Principio del final (final)
Si no te sigo más (sigo más)
Que nada va a cambiar (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Tú lo vas a entender
Cuando quieras volver
No voy a aparecer

Tus labios dejaron huella
Pienso en ti para que duela
No dejo que tú lo veas

Así sin mirarnos, así lo hago yo
Así sin tocarnos, así lo hago yo
Así sin tus manos, así lo hago yo
Así yo te olvido, así lo hago yo (oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
Así sin tocarnos, así lo hago yo (oh, oh, oh)
Así sin tus manos, así lo hago yo (oh, oh, oh)
Así yo te olvido, así lo hago yo (oh, oh, oh)

Ya no eres mío
Es un desafío
Yo lo decido
No estás conmigo
Ya no eres mío
Es un desafío (un desafío)
Yo lo decido
No estás conmigo

Así sin mirarnos, así lo hago yo (oh, oh, oh)
Así sin tocarnos, así lo hago yo (oh, oh, oh)

Así sin tus manos, así lo hago yo (oh, oh, oh)
Así yo te olvido, así lo hago yo (oh, oh, oh)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mafalda's song "Así Lo Hago Yo" depict an individual who is trying to move on from a past relationship. The singer declares that they no longer wait for the other person's call because there is nothing left between them. The image of a dagger being stuck inside them is used to symbolize the pain they feel, which they are not willing to let go of. The lyrics suggest that the individual is constantly thinking of their former partner, even though they try to hide their feelings.

The chorus, "Así sin mirarnos, así lo hago yo" (Like this, without looking at each other, this is how I do it), is repeated several times throughout the song and serves as a mantra for the singer's attempts to forget their past lover. They declare that they can do this without physical contact, without their partner's hands, and without looking at each other. This repetition of the chorus creates a sense of determination and emphasizes the singer's ability to move forward without the other person's presence.

The final stanza of the song repeats the idea that the other person is no longer "theirs," making it clear that the relationship is over. The singer asserts that they are the ones who decide whether the relationship continues or ends and declares that they won't be there when their ex-partner comes back.

Overall, the song's lyrics convey the message that the singer is trying to overcome a painful situation, expressing their feelings of heartbreak, anger, and determination to move on.
