Como Se Puede Olvidar

Anita Santivañez's song 'Como Se Puede Olvidar' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of trying to forget a past love. The lyrics poignantly express the pain and difficulty of moving on after having loved someone so intensely. The repeated questioning of 'Como se puede olvidar' (How can one forget) underscores the singer's struggle to come to terms with the end of a significant relationship. This refrain captures the essence of heartbreak and the seemingly insurmountable task of erasing someone from one's heart and mind.

The song's narrative reveals a poignant story of unrequited love and the agony of seeing a former lover move on with someone else. The lines 'Porque sus besos y sus caricias ya pertenecen a otro amor' (Because his kisses and caresses now belong to another love) highlight the painful reality that the person she once cherished is now giving their affection to someone else. This realization intensifies her sorrow, as she grapples with the memories that continue to haunt her.

Santivañez's lyrics also touch on the physical manifestation of her grief, with 'Mis ojos quieren llorar' (My eyes want to cry) illustrating the deep emotional impact of her loss. The repetition of 'Como haré para arrancarlo de mí' (How will I tear him out of me) emphasizes her desperation to find a way to move on. The song captures the universal experience of heartache and the longing for closure, making it a relatable and emotionally charged piece for anyone who has experienced the pain of a broken heart.
