Para Un Viejo Corazòn

The song 'Para Un Viejo Corazòn' by Duo Ayacucho is a poignant expression of the pain and difficulty associated with moving on from a deeply cherished relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of loss and the challenge of starting anew after the end of a significant love affair. The repeated phrase 'No, no, no resulta facil' (No, no, it's not easy) emphasizes the struggle and the emotional turmoil of the singer as they come to terms with the reality that the love they once knew is no longer present.

The imagery of a garden where 'Primaveras ya no habran mas' (Springs will no longer be) and the absence of birds singing in the singer's orchard symbolize the joy and life that have been drained from the singer's world. The garden, once a place of growth and beauty, now stands as a metaphor for the desolation felt in the wake of lost love. The silence of the absent partner is described as wounding the 'viejo corazon' (old heart), suggesting a deep emotional scar that remains.

As the song progresses, the lyrics paint a picture of the singer's future, wandering aimlessly and haunted by memories. The mention of 'las playas de tu ausencia' (the beaches of your absence) and the winds carrying the singer's cries for their lost love further illustrate the sense of being lost without the other person. The singer's resignation to their fate, sitting by the river's edge, tired and alone, captures the essence of heartbreak and the enduring impact it has on one's life.
