Cómo Te Llamas Tú

Estela Nuñez's song "Cómo Te Llamas Tú" delves into the poignant theme of moving on from a past love. The lyrics open with a direct question, "¿Cómo te llamas tú?" (What's your name?), which immediately sets the tone of estrangement and detachment. This question signifies that the speaker no longer recognizes or remembers the person they once loved, highlighting the emotional distance that has grown between them. The repetition of this question underscores the finality of their separation and the speaker's determination to forget.

The song continues with the speaker reflecting on a promise they made to themselves to forget their former lover. The line "Si una vez juré que te olvidaba, ese día ha llegado para ti" (If I once swore I would forget you, that day has come for you) marks a significant moment of closure. Despite the deep affection they once felt, encapsulated in the phrase "a pesar de lo mucho que te quise" (despite how much I loved you), the speaker has decided to bury their love forever. This metaphor of burial conveys a sense of finality and the irreversible nature of their decision.

The chorus, "Amor que se va, cuántos se han ido y al pasar el tiempo viene el olvido" (Love that goes away, how many have left, and as time passes, comes forgetfulness), speaks to the universal experience of lost love and the healing power of time. The repetition of the idea that many loves have come and gone reinforces the notion that forgetting is a natural part of life. The song concludes with the reaffirmation that the speaker has buried their love for good, emphasizing their resolve to move forward and leave the past behind.
