Tengo Que Olvidarte

Agua Marina's song 'Tengo Que Olvidarte' is a poignant expression of the struggle to overcome the pain of a lost love. The lyrics convey a deep sense of longing and the difficulty of moving on from a relationship that has ended. The repeated lines 'Pensaba que con el tiempo te olvidaría' and 'Pero pasa el tiempo y te recuerdo más y más' reflect the singer's initial belief that time would heal the heartache, only to find that as time passes, the memories become even more persistent.

The chorus, 'Tengo que olvidarte, Tengo que ser fuerte,' is a powerful declaration of the singer's need to forget their former lover and to find the strength to do so. Despite this resolve, the line 'Siempre estoy diciendo y no puedo' reveals the internal conflict and the inability to let go, highlighting the emotional turmoil that accompanies the end of a significant relationship. The repetition of these lines throughout the song emphasizes the cyclical nature of the singer's emotional state, caught between the desire to move on and the reality of lingering feelings.

Agua Marina, known for their cumbia music, often touches on themes of love, heartbreak, and the human experience. 'Tengo Que Olvidarte' is a testament to their ability to capture the universal experience of struggling to forget someone who was once an integral part of one's life. The song resonates with anyone who has ever had to face the challenge of letting go and the bittersweet realization that some memories are hard to erase.
