Lo Tengo Que Dejar
OBK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Es tan dura la verdad,
que me impide respirar
en tu cruz caben dos
y a mí llamarte se me olvidó
Mi vida es el telón
de un teatro sin función
mi mente arrastra palabras
que ya nunca pronunciaré

Delirios de amor
no puedo crecer
con este dolor
olvídame
dijo tu voz
olvídame
eterna canción

Me he perdido una vez más,
de tanto recordar
de no encontrar la respuesta
a la pregunta ¿qué nos pasó?

Ya vivo de ese adiós
que el alma parte en dos
ahogándome en la tristeza de ahora
verme sin tu querer

Delirios de amor
no puedo crecer
con este dolor
olvídame
dijo tu voz,
olvídame
eterna canción

Delirios de amor
...
con este dolor
...
dijo tu voz




...
eterna canción.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of OBK's song Lo Tengo Que Dejar are a poignant portrayal of heartbreak, loss, and the struggle to move on. The opening lines, "Es tan dura la verdad, que me impide respirar" ("The truth is so harsh that it stops me from breathing"), set the tone for the rest of the song, which is a deeply emotional exploration of a failed relationship. The singer laments his inability to let go of his love for the person, despite the fact that she has left him behind. He struggles to come to terms with the truth of their situation, and the fact that he needs to move on in order to be happy.


One of the most striking features of the song is its use of metaphor and symbolism. The "cruz" (cross) that the singer refers to is a symbol of the burden of his emotions, which he cannot carry alone. He also describes his life as a "teatro sin función" (a theater without a purpose), suggesting that his existence is devoid of meaning without his former love. Finally, he speaks of "delirios de amor" (delusions of love), suggesting that his feelings may be irrational and self-destructive. Ultimately, however, the singer acknowledges that he needs to let go and move on, even though it is painful to do so.
