Olvide Ser Feliz

Poyo Segovia's song 'Olvide Ser Feliz' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of trying to move on from a past love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person haunted by memories and unable to find peace. The recurring image of a 'vagabond tear' symbolizes the persistent sorrow that emerges whenever the protagonist thinks about their lost love. This tear, 'drunk with pain,' represents the overwhelming grief that consumes them, often leaving them feeling lost and broken.

The song's chorus reveals a glimmer of hope, as the protagonist dreams of a day when the wind might bring their love back to them. However, this hope is tinged with the painful reality that they may never fully forget their past. The use of 'tools of forgetting,' such as bottled and aged memories, suggests that the protagonist turns to alcohol to numb their pain. This coping mechanism, while providing temporary relief, ultimately traps them in a cycle of sorrow and fleeting liberation.

The plea to 'let me continue or let me out' underscores the internal conflict between holding on to hope and the desire to break free from the chains of memory. The song concludes with a poignant reflection on the fear of missing their love even in dreams and the bittersweet realization that they can no longer find happiness. The final lines, 'Remember how I was with you here,' serve as a melancholic reminder of the joy that once was, now overshadowed by the struggle to forget and find happiness again.
