No Te Pertenece

Noel Schajris' song 'No Te Pertenece' is a poignant exploration of the aftermath of a painful breakup. The lyrics delve into the complex emotions that follow the end of a relationship, capturing both the anguish and the cherished memories that linger. Schajris begins by pleading to be freed from the negative aspects of the past—anger, despair, and betrayal. These lines reflect a deep desire to move on from the hurtful experiences that have left emotional scars. The imagery of a burning rope around the neck symbolizes the suffocating pain and the urgent need for release.

However, the song takes a turn as Schajris shifts his focus to the positive memories he wishes to keep. He asks to retain the warmth, complicity, dedication, and sincerity that once defined the relationship. These elements represent the genuine connection and happiness that were part of their shared history. The repeated plea to 'déjalo' (leave it) emphasizes the importance of holding onto these precious moments, even as the relationship itself has ended. This duality of wanting to forget the pain but remember the joy is a universal theme in the aftermath of love lost.

The chorus reinforces this sentiment, highlighting the contrast between the painful and the beautiful memories. Schajris acknowledges that while the relationship is over and the person no longer belongs to him, the positive memories are his to keep. This acceptance of the end, coupled with the desire to cherish the good times, speaks to the resilience of the human spirit. 'No Te Pertenece' is a heartfelt reminder that even in the face of heartbreak, we can choose to hold onto the love and happiness that once was, allowing it to shape our future in a positive way.
