No Puedo Olvidarte
Miriam Hernández Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Acaso no te supe amar
Tal vez el tiempo lo dirá
Si hoy no estás aquí
Lo quise así
No te pude perdonar

Acaso la distancia es
Un buen refugio a mi ser
Si hoy no esta tu olor
En nuestra habitación
No sé lo que voy a hacer

Y yo no puedo olvidarme de ti
Por más que trato no puedo olvidarte
Que puedo hacer para calmar mi ser
Y perdonarte amor en mi corazón
Y yo no puedo olvidarme de ti
Por más que trato no puedo olvidarte
Que puedo hacer para calmar mi ser
Y perdonarte amor, perdonarte

Acaso la distancia es
Un buen refugio a mi ser
Si hoy no está tu olor




En nuestra habitación
No sé lo que voy a hacer

Overall Meaning

In the song "No puedo olvidarte" by Miriam Hernández, the singer appears to be in a state of emotional distress and longing for her love interest. She questions her own ability to love with the line “Acaso no te supe amar”, wondering if she did enough to deserve his forgiveness after a rift has come between them. The lyrics also seem to suggest that the physical distance between them has become an emotional refuge for her, shielding her from the pain of not having him near. She finds herself unable to forget him, even when she tries, and is left struggling to understand what to do next.


The desperation felt in the lyrics is emphasized by the repetition of the chorus, "Y yo no puedo olvidarme de ti/ Por más que trato no puedo olvidarte/ Qué puedo hacer para calmar mi ser/ Y perdonarte amor, perdonarte" which translates to "I cannot forget you/ No matter how hard I try/ What can I do to calm myself/ And forgive you, my love, forgive you". The singer wishes to forgive her lover and find a way to move on from the pain but cannot seem to find the closure she needs.


Overall, the song conveys a sense of love, loss, and longing, showcasing Hernandez's vocal range and emotional depth.
