Un Pasatiempo Nada Mas
El Empuje
Moving On: A New Love and Forgotten Past
The song "Un Pasatiempo Nada Mas" by El Empuje tells a story of emotional liberation and moving on from a past relationship. The lyrics describe the protagonist encountering a new love, which signifies the end of a difficult period in their life. The phrase "El mal momento ya termino" (The bad moment is over) highlights the transition from pain to a newfound sense of freedom and happiness. The repetition of "Hoy solo se ke ya te olvide" (Today I only know that I have forgotten you) emphasizes the finality of this emotional shift.
The song also reflects on the past relationship, where the protagonist acknowledges the tenderness and dedication they once offered. The line "Mi vida entera yo te entregue" (I gave you my entire life) suggests a deep emotional investment that was ultimately unreciprocated. The mention of money as a factor that drove the former lover away adds a layer of social commentary, hinting at materialism and its impact on personal relationships. The protagonist's realization that the past lover was merely a "pasatiempo" (pastime) underscores their growth and the clarity they have gained.
El Empuje's musical style, characterized by energetic rhythms and passionate vocals, complements the song's themes of resilience and self-discovery. The geographical references to Chaco, Corrientes, and Misiones add a cultural touch, grounding the song in a specific regional context. This blend of personal narrative and cultural elements makes "Un Pasatiempo Nada Mas" a relatable and poignant anthem for anyone who has experienced the pain of a breakup and the joy of moving on.
