Oh Marilyn

The song 'Oh Marilyn' by Agrupación Marilyn is a poignant expression of heartache and longing for a past love. The lyrics convey the deep sense of loss and nostalgia that the narrator feels as he reflects on a relationship that has ended. The nights bring back memories of a love that was once his, and alone in his bed, he struggles with insomnia, unable to find peace or forgetfulness in sleep.

The chorus, which repeats the name 'Marilyn' with a sense of yearning, suggests that the narrator is addressing someone directly, likely an ex-lover. He wishes she were by his side so he could prove that he hasn't forgotten her, despite the fact that she has moved on with someone else. This new person in Marilyn's life is causing her distress, yet she seems to have easily forgotten the love she once shared with the narrator. The repetition of 'Oh Marilyn' emphasizes the fixation and the emotional turmoil he is experiencing.

The song's melancholic tone is further enhanced by the acknowledgment that Marilyn is with someone else, and the narrator's realization that any attempt to reach out to her would be futile. The line 'Si te hice mia y yo fui feliz' ('I made you mine and I was happy') encapsulates the bittersweet memory of the happiness they shared, now overshadowed by the pain of their separation. The song is a lament, a cry for a love that is no longer attainable, and a reflection on the difficulty of moving on from a deep emotional connection.
