Mi Memória

Lisandro Aristimuño's song 'Mi Memória' delves into the delicate and often elusive nature of memory. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a mind struggling to hold onto fragments of the past, with the singer lamenting his 'deshilachada' (frayed) memory that fails to retain anything concrete. This imagery of frayed edges and disjointed recollections evokes a sense of loss and longing, as the singer tries to piece together memories that seem to slip away like the horizon blending into nothingness.

The song also explores the connection between memory and love. The singer's attempts to remember 'cada pedacito tuyo' (every little piece of you) highlight the deep emotional bond he shares with the subject of his affection. Despite his failing memory, there is a poignant certainty in his feelings, encapsulated in the line 'solo sé una cosa, que me duermo en tus besos' (I only know one thing, that I fall asleep in your kisses). This suggests that while specific memories may fade, the emotional essence of love remains intact.

Aristimuño's use of natural imagery, such as the 'naranjos en el verde de la Sierra' (orange trees in the green of the Sierra) and 'nubes que hacen ruido' (clouds that make noise), further enriches the song's exploration of memory and emotion. These elements create a tapestry of sensory experiences that mirror the singer's internal landscape. The recurring theme of returning to a loved one's body underscores the idea that physical presence and sensory experiences are integral to the formation and retention of memories. Through 'Mi Memória,' Aristimuño captures the bittersweet nature of remembering and the enduring power of love amidst the fragility of human recollection.
