Si Un Amor Se Va

El Polaco's 'Si Un Amor Se Va' is a poignant ballad that delves into the emotional turmoil experienced when love ends. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the heartbreak and emptiness that follow a breakup. The song begins by describing how everything crumbles ('Todo se hace trisa') when love departs, leaving behind a void that seems impossible to fill. This imagery suggests not just sadness, but a shattering of the world as one knows it.

As the song progresses, it speaks of memories that haunt every step, turning past moments into something sacred and untouchable. The 'distance' that grows when love leaves is not just physical but emotional, signifying the gap between what was and what is now. The death of hope and happiness ('muere la esperanza muere la felicidad') is a powerful metaphor for the despair that can consume someone when they lose their significant other. The feeling of disbelief, as if the relationship was just a dream, underscores the difficulty of accepting the end of a cherished connection.

The chorus captures the essence of longing and the struggle to move on. Crying and reminiscing over every moment and place shared with the lost love, the singer conveys a sense of life fading away ('la vida se apaga') with the departure of love. The repetition of the idea that nothing else matters ('ya no importa mas nada') emphasizes the overwhelming impact of heartbreak, where the absence of the loved one eclipses all other aspects of life. El Polaco, known for his romantic songs in the cumbia genre, uses his emotive voice to bring these feelings to life, resonating with anyone who has experienced a similar loss.
