Ay Qué Pesado

Mecano's song "Ay Qué Pesado" is a vibrant and catchy tune that carries a profound message about the importance of living in the present and not dwelling on the past. The repetitive chorus, "Ay qué pesado, qué pesado, siempre pensando en el pasado," translates to "Oh, how heavy, how heavy, always thinking about the past," emphasizing the burden that comes with being stuck in past memories and experiences. The song encourages listeners to move forward and embrace the opportunities that life offers in the present moment.

The lyrics delve into the emotional struggle of letting go of past wounds, particularly those related to love. Lines like "¿Cuánto tiempo hace falta? Para que borres las heridas que te hiciste en el amor" (How much time is needed to erase the wounds you made in love) highlight the difficulty of healing from emotional scars. However, the song also offers a solution, reminding us that we hold the key to our own healing: "Que solo tú tienes la llave que abre y cierra el dolor" (Only you have the key that opens and closes the pain).

Mecano also touches on the futility of overthinking and making rigid plans for the future, especially in relationships. The lyrics suggest that life is unpredictable and that trying to control every aspect can lead to disappointment. "No debiste hacer planes, tú no decides el futuro cuando se trata de dos" (You shouldn't have made plans, you don't decide the future when it involves two) serves as a reminder to be flexible and open to life's uncertainties. Ultimately, "Ay Qué Pesado" is a call to live in the moment, let go of past grievances, and embrace the present with an open heart and mind.
