Oma

Lasso's song 'Oma' is a poignant reflection on loss, memory, and the enduring impact of a loved one who has passed away. The lyrics convey a deep sense of regret and longing, as the narrator grapples with the pain of not having responded to a message and missing the chance to see their loved one one last time. This regret is a central theme, highlighting the human tendency to take time for granted and the sorrow that comes with missed opportunities.

The song's emotional core is found in the chorus, where the narrator finds solace in thinking about the departed loved one. This suggests that even in their absence, the memory of the loved one provides comfort and strength. The lyrics, 'Cuando a mi alma le cuesta seguir, lo que me calma es pensar en ti,' translate to 'When my soul struggles to go on, what calms me is thinking of you,' encapsulating the idea that memories can be a source of healing.

Lasso also touches on the idea of the afterlife and the hope that the loved one is in a better place. The line 'Pa' que me cuentes si el cielo vale la pena' ('So you can tell me if heaven is worth it') reflects a yearning for reassurance and a connection that transcends physical boundaries. The song is a beautiful tribute to the enduring bond between the living and the deceased, emphasizing that love and memories continue to live on, providing comfort and inspiration even in the darkest times.
