Healing Through New Love: The Journey in 'Así Lo Haré'
Malú's song 'Así Lo Haré' delves into the complex emotions of moving on from a past love while finding solace in a new relationship. The lyrics reveal a narrative of a woman who is deeply affected by her previous relationship, yet is willing to take a chance on new love to heal her wounds. The song opens with the acknowledgment of the new lover's unconditional love and willingness to do anything for her, despite knowing that her heart still lingers on someone else. This sets the stage for a journey of emotional recovery and the hope of rekindling her sense of self through this new connection.
The chorus, 'Sólo así lo haré, sólo así me olvidaré de él,' translates to 'Only this way will I do it, only this way will I forget him.' This line encapsulates the central theme of the song: the protagonist's belief that immersing herself in this new relationship is the only way to move past her lingering feelings for her ex. The metaphor of 'caricias de papel' (paper caresses) suggests that the memories of her past love are fragile and insubstantial, yet they still hold a significant place in her heart. The imagery of her 'lado izquierdo' (left side) being disintegrated further emphasizes the deep emotional impact of her previous relationship.
As the song progresses, the protagonist expresses a desire to be saved from her suffering and to find refuge in the new lover's embrace. The plea, 'Sálvame de una vez, no me dejes caer,' meaning 'Save me once and for all, don't let me fall,' highlights her vulnerability and the hope that this new love can provide the strength she needs to overcome her past. The song concludes with a sense of cautious optimism, as she acknowledges the possibility of loving the new partner as deeply as she once loved her ex, but also the uncertainty that comes with it. Malú's emotive delivery and the poignant lyrics make 'Así Lo Haré' a powerful exploration of love, loss, and the healing process.
