Song Meaning of “Olvido Con Olvido” by Maelo Ruiz
Olvido con Olvido is a song by Maelo Ruiz about the pains of lost love and the longing for it to be regained amidst the realization that it’s now gone for good. The title, which is Spanish for ‘forgetting with forgetting’, reflects the idea that the only way to move on and find peace is to both let go and then actively forget the hurt of what was lost. The chorus emphasizes the idea of embracing the loss and thereby gaining the strength to move forward, singing “Olvidado, con olvido, acepto con valor, la despedida, con la mirada entregada, de tu amor.”
The pain of what was lost is evident throughout the song, with imagery of a desolate and broken heart longing for the love that has gone, singing “Ahora tu voz no vuelve al pasado, solo me queda el recuerdo y una sonrisa que rápido se desvanece.”
