No puedo olvidarte
Mar de Copas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
vagaste a mi lado los bordes del cielo
algo sabemos también del infierno
no me es ajeno, está sucediendo
te voy a contar un secreto al oído
lloro tu muerte a rabiar sin medida
confundo tus voces, no veo salidas
por más que te largues, terminas volviendo.
No, no puedo olvidar
por más que golpee mi corazón
no puedo olvidar.
Te voy a decir un secreto al oído
lloras de rabia despierto y dormido
no es nada nuevo, té quedas cautivo
por más que me escapes, termino cediendo
te voy a contar un secreto al oído
tú pones las trampas, té enredas en ellas
loco de pena, deambulas conmigo
todo es en vano, terminas volviendo.
No, no puedo olvidar
por más que golpee mi corazón
no puedo olvidar.
In Mar de Copas's song No puedo olvidarte, the singer is divulging a secret to someone they love. They mention how they wandered together at the edges of heaven, suggesting a blissful existence. However, the singer also acknowledges that they have experienced something of the inferno, a feeling that doesn't elude them, and is happening to them both. The singer goes on to explain how they cry out of anger and frustration whenever they think of their love's death. They get confused by their love's voice and can't seem to find a way out of their emotional turmoil. Despite trying to escape from the emotions, the singer seems to accept their fate, as they always end up returning to their love. The song is an impassioned plea about the singer's inability to forget their love and move on. It speaks of a love that is all-consuming, all-encompassing and perhaps was never meant to be forgotten.
