Olvídate

In 'Olvídate,' Los Piojos delve into the emotional turmoil of forgotten memories and the lingering impact of a past relationship. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a lover who has left behind various personal items, each carrying its own weight of nostalgia and unresolved emotions. The repeated phrase 'Ya ves, eso te digo' ('You see, that's what I'm telling you') underscores the frustration and resignation of the narrator as they recount the things left behind, symbolizing the emotional baggage that remains.

The items mentioned in the song, such as the 'pluma negra y roja' (black and red feather) and the 'serpiente silenciosa' (silent snake), serve as metaphors for the complexities and hidden dangers in the relationship. These objects are not just physical remnants but also represent the emotional scars and memories that the narrator is struggling to move past. The 'camisa desgarrada' (torn shirt) and 'traje tan extraño' (strange suit) further emphasize the disarray and confusion left in the wake of the lover's departure.

The chorus highlights the paradox of forgetting and remembering. While the lover has seemingly forgotten many things, the narrator is left with a heart full of memories and emotions that are hard to shake off. The line 'Te hace bien, corazón loco' ('It does you good, crazy heart') suggests a bittersweet acceptance of the situation, acknowledging that forgetting might be a coping mechanism for the lover, even if it leaves the narrator in emotional turmoil. The song captures the essence of heartbreak and the struggle to let go, making it a poignant reflection on love and loss.
