No Resulta Fácil

In 'No Resulta Fácil,' José Luis Perales delves into the profound emotional struggle of moving on from a past relationship. The song's title, which translates to 'It's Not Easy,' sets the tone for the lyrical journey that explores the difficulty of forgetting and starting anew. Perales poignantly captures the lingering impact of love, emphasizing that it's not easy to erase the memories and emotional imprints left by a significant other. The repetition of the phrase 'no resulta fácil' throughout the song underscores the persistent and pervasive nature of this struggle.

The lyrics are rich with metaphors that illustrate the depth of the emotional turmoil. For instance, Perales sings about the challenge of 'despertar el alma cuando se ha dormido' (awakening the soul when it has slept), which symbolizes the difficulty of reigniting one's spirit after it has been dulled by heartbreak. The imagery of the moon, the morning air, and the quiet gaze of a distant lover further accentuates the sense of loss and longing. These elements create a vivid picture of a world that has lost its luster, where even the beauty of nature fails to bring solace.

Perales also touches on the pain of proximity without connection, describing how 'es tu distancia estando cerca la que más duele' (it's your distance while being close that hurts the most). This line encapsulates the agony of being physically near someone yet emotionally distant, a common experience in the aftermath of a breakup. The song's melancholic tone and heartfelt delivery resonate deeply with listeners who have faced similar emotional challenges, making 'No Resulta Fácil' a poignant anthem for those grappling with the complexities of moving on from a lost love.
