De Despedida

La Trampa's song 'De Despedida' is a poignant exploration of the emotional turmoil that accompanies farewells. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a heart-wrenching goodbye, where the physical act of parting is less painful than the emotional scars it leaves behind. The opening lines, 'La ventana todo cerraste / Y tus ojos brillando fueron metales,' suggest a sense of finality and closure, as if the window to the past has been shut, and the eyes, once full of life, have turned cold and metallic. This imagery sets the tone for a song steeped in sorrow and longing.

The recurring line, 'No me duele el dolor / Duele el amarte,' encapsulates the central theme of the song. It translates to 'The pain doesn't hurt me; loving you does.' This powerful statement underscores the idea that the emotional pain of love and separation is far more agonizing than any physical pain. The lyrics further delve into the wounds inflicted by love, 'Heridas recibiste / Aire de dentro,' indicating that these are not just superficial injuries but deep, internal ones that affect the very core of one's being.

As the song progresses, the sense of distance and time becomes more pronounced. 'Pero de despedida / Tus manos y el tiempo / No me duele el dolor / Duele lo lejos,' highlights how the passage of time and the growing distance only amplify the pain. The final lines, 'Y te quedas profunda / Y detenida / Tus ojos miran tierras / De todavía,' evoke a sense of being stuck in a moment, unable to move forward, with eyes that still yearn for what once was. The song concludes with a haunting reflection on life itself, 'No me duele el dolor / Duele la vida,' suggesting that the true pain lies in the very act of living without the loved one.
