Y la colonia cara esa que me encantaba ya no me produce sonrisa en la cara
Y los mensajes que guardaba con estrella, ya se me han borrao, ahora usalos con ella
Porque es que es tan bella y es que deja huella, y se que no la quieres pero es que está cerca
Y ahora que ya he silenciado tus historias para no verlas
Ahora que ya no me se todas tus fotos de memoria
Y me he cansado de estar todo el día montada en tu puta noria…
Hoy te canto esta canción pa que me cantes en tu coche
Y llores por la noche
Y caigas en la cuenta de que has perdido el norte
Y busques mis historias, borrando el historial
Pa decirle a todo el mundo “tu historia está mal conta”
Calla y meteme en tu playlist de ganas de llorar
Las fiestas en que estas, ahora ya ni me rentan
Ya no convenzo a nadie, pa colarme en ellas
Porque es una chorrada, porque no somos nada, porque antes eran mariposas y ahora arcadas
Y las canciones que borracho me cantabas,
Ya no me importa nada, ya no están vetadas
Porque en vd eran malas, y desafinadas, casi tanto como cuando me mirabas
Y ahora que ya han funcionado los 100 clavos pa olvidarte
Ahora que no me molesta ver tu cara en todas partes
Y ahora que ya no me se TODAS tus fotos de memoria
Y me he cansado de estar todo el día montada en tu puta noria…
The lyrics of the song "Pa Que Me Cantes En El Coche" by Mafalda Cardenal revolve around the theme of moving on from a past relationship and finding empowerment in the process. The singer reflects on the items and memories associated with the relationship that no longer hold any significance or bring joy. The blue shirt with a skull design, previously sold, symbolizes the detachment from the memories of the past relationship. The expensive cologne that used to bring pleasure now fails to bring a smile to the singer's face.
The lyrics also touch upon messages that were once cherished but have now been erased, suggesting a desire to let go of the past and move forward. The singer acknowledges the beauty and impact of someone new in her life, despite the lingering presence of the past relationship. The song implies a sense of liberation and freedom from the previous attachment.
In the second part of the lyrics, the singer asserts her newfound independence and self-assurance. The mention of no longer being affected by the ex-partner's stories or being enamored by their physical appearance highlights the growth and emotional distance achieved. The reference to not knowing all of the ex-partner's photos by memory and no longer riding the emotional roller coaster suggests a willingness to let go and move on.
Overall, the lyrics of "Pa Que Me Cantes En El Coche" convey a message of self-empowerment, self-discovery, and the ability to find joy and strength after a past relationship.
