Lo Mejor de Mi

Noel Schajris' song 'Lo Mejor de Mi' is a heartfelt ballad that delves into the complexities of love and the importance of authenticity in relationships. The lyrics express a deep emotional connection and a willingness to give one's all to a partner. Schajris begins by confessing his constant thoughts about his loved one and the pain of their absence. This sets the stage for a narrative that emphasizes the significance of being genuine and present in a relationship.

The chorus of the song highlights the theme of freedom in love. Schajris questions the value of a relationship where one is not free to be themselves, suggesting that true love should not be restrictive. He prefers honesty and transparency, stating that his partner has the best of him because he chooses not to pretend or lie. This sentiment is reinforced by the repeated lines, 'Prefiero no fingir, Prefiero no mentir,' which translate to 'I prefer not to pretend, I prefer not to lie.'

In the latter part of the song, Schajris explores the idea of choice in love. He acknowledges that he could distance himself and resist his partner's affection, but he chooses to stay because his partner understands the 'art of loving without suffocating.' This line beautifully encapsulates the essence of the song: love should be liberating, not confining. The repetition of 'Lo mejor de mí' (The best of me) serves as a powerful reminder that giving the best of oneself in a relationship is a conscious and liberating choice.
