Olvidé Olvidarte (part. Álvaro de Luna)

The song 'Olvidé Olvidarte' by Marlon, featuring Álvaro de Luna, delves into the poignant theme of struggling to move on from a past relationship. The lyrics express the singer's internal conflict and pain as he realizes that despite the passage of time, he has not been able to forget his former lover. The opening lines, 'A quién quiero engañar, Si van dos años ya y no puedo olvidarte,' set the tone for a heartfelt confession of lingering feelings.

The chorus, 'Si cada día te echo más menos, te quiero cerca y ahora estás tan lejos,' captures the essence of the song's emotional turmoil. The singer acknowledges the paradox of missing someone more as time goes by, highlighting the difficulty of reconciling his desire for closeness with the reality of their separation. This internal contradiction is further emphasized by the line, 'creo que olvidé olvidarte,' which translates to 'I think I forgot to forget you,' suggesting a failed attempt at moving on.

Throughout the song, the use of vivid imagery and metaphors, such as 'Sonó más fuerte que un silencio a gritos,' which means 'It sounded louder than a silence screaming,' powerfully conveys the intensity of the singer's feelings. This line metaphorically describes how the silence after their parting screams with the echoes of their past, making the absence of the loved one feel overwhelmingly present. The song is a beautiful yet melancholic exploration of love, loss, and the haunting presence of what was once shared.
