Leonel García's song 'Haz' is a poignant exploration of the complexities of letting go and the emotional turmoil that accompanies a farewell. The lyrics are a heartfelt plea to a loved one, urging them to follow their path and make the necessary decisions, even if it means leaving behind what once was. The repeated phrase 'Haz, lo que haya que hacer' (Do what you have to do) underscores the inevitability of change and the acceptance that comes with it. García's emotive delivery and the melancholic melody amplify the sense of loss and resignation that permeates the song.
The song delves into the internal conflict of wanting to hold on while recognizing the need to let go. Lines like 'No mires atrás no me quieres ver, cuando te despides no me siento bien' (Don't look back, you don't want to see me, when you say goodbye I don't feel well) highlight the pain of separation and the struggle to come to terms with it. The imagery of impending rain serves as a metaphor for the emotional storm that follows a breakup, suggesting that the protagonist is bracing for the inevitable sorrow.

The song's narrative is relatable to anyone who has experienced the heartache of a farewell, making it a universal anthem for those grappling with the end of a relationship. The closing lines, 'No dejes que te detenga si grito desde la puerta que no te me vayas por favor' (Don't let me stop you if I scream from the door, please don't leave), encapsulate the desperation and helplessness felt in the face of an unavoidable goodbye. 'Haz' is a testament to García's talent for capturing the human experience in its rawest form, offering solace to those navigating the painful process of letting go.
