Hoy Te Dejé De Amar

Paulina Rubio's song "Hoy Te Dejé De Amar" is a poignant exploration of the end of a romantic relationship. The lyrics convey a deep sense of finality and resignation as the narrator decides to stop loving their partner. The opening lines, "Hoy te dejé de amar y sé que dolerá," immediately set the tone for the song, acknowledging the pain that comes with such a decision. The imagery of the moon and the wind no longer carrying the partner's presence symbolizes the emotional detachment and the end of a once meaningful connection.

As the song progresses, Rubio delves into the reasons behind this decision. The lines "Hoy se acabó el perdón, ya no será razón" suggest that forgiveness has run its course, and there is no longer a reason to continue the relationship. The narrator's body no longer responds to the partner's touch, and their feelings have turned to condemnation. This shift from love to indifference is further emphasized by the questions posed in the lyrics: "¿Y se ha vuelto costumbre?, ¿me he vuelto tu mejor amiga?" These lines reflect the narrator's realization that the relationship has become routine and devoid of passion, reducing them to mere friends rather than lovers.

The song's climax comes with the repeated declaration, "Hoy te dejé de amar," underscoring the finality of the decision. The narrator acknowledges that their life together has lost its vibrancy, now dressed in "blanco y negro." The decision to leave is not just about ending the relationship but also about reclaiming one's own space and identity. The song closes with a sense of liberation, as the narrator leaves their partner to their own world, symbolized by the "falta de palabras y una flor." This final image captures the emptiness and the end of communication, marking the definitive end of their love story.
