Embracing a New Beginning: Millie Corretjer's 'De Hoy En Adelante'
Millie Corretjer's song 'De Hoy En Adelante' is a powerful anthem of self-liberation and emotional rebirth. The lyrics tell the story of someone who has struggled to forget a past lover but has finally decided to move on. The opening lines, 'Se me olvido, olvidarte,' which translates to 'I forgot to forget you,' set the tone for the emotional journey. The protagonist acknowledges the pain and the futile path of holding onto memories that lead nowhere. This realization is a turning point, marking the beginning of a new chapter in their life.
The chorus is a declaration of newfound freedom and self-love. 'De hoy en adelante, voy a vivir de nuevo,' meaning 'From today onwards, I will live again,' signifies a commitment to embracing life without the shadow of past love. The protagonist vows to love without fear, to let go of the past, and to prioritize their own happiness. This is a significant shift from the earlier verses, where the pain of unreciprocated love is evident. The lyrics 'Seré como era antes que estrenaras mi cuerpo' ('I will be as I was before you first touched my body') highlight the desire to return to a state of innocence and self-sufficiency.
The song also touches on the theme of self-worth and the importance of finding genuine love. The lines 'Me entregare a otros brazos que me den amor sincero' ('I will give myself to other arms that offer me sincere love') reflect a determination to seek out relationships that are based on true affection and respect. This is a powerful message about not settling for less than one deserves and the courage to start anew. Millie Corretjer's emotive delivery and the poignant lyrics make 'De Hoy En Adelante' a resonant and inspiring piece about reclaiming one's life and moving forward with strength and optimism.
