ME OLVIDÉ DE MÍ

I FORGOT MYSELF

Salsa romántica

Romantic salsa

Ay, amor…

Oh, love…

Cuánto di por ti…

How much I gave for you…

Y al final de esta historia,

And at the end of this story,

me quedé sin mí…

I was left without myself…

[Verso 1] · Verse 1

Te di todo de mí, tanto así,

I gave you all of me, so much so,

que olvidé que en un pasado fui feliz.

that I forgot I was happy in the past.

Cada día al despertar, cada madrugada,

Every day upon waking, every dawn,

se desgarra mi vacío junto a mi almohada.

my emptiness tears apart next to my pillow.

Yo que todo por ti lo dejé,

I, who left everything for you,

tantas cosas por amarte abandoné.

abandoned so many things for loving you.

Y ahora dime, ¿para qué?

And now tell me, what for?

Si hasta mi propia vida olvidé.

If I even forgot my own life.

Pre Coro

Pre-Chorus

Yo no lo merecía,

I didn't deserve it,

maldita esta vida,

damn this life,

que te hace sufrir

that makes you suffer

cuando más quieres a alguien.

when you love someone the most.

Y aunque intento olvidarte,

And although I try to forget you,

no consigo arrancarte,

I can't tear you out,

porque el corazón no entiende

because the heart doesn't understand

lo que la razón ya sabe.

what reason already knows.

[Coro – Entran trompetas y trombones] · Chorus – Trumpets and trombones enter

¡Me olvidé de mí por amarte!

I forgot myself for loving you!

Y hoy no sé cómo recuperarme.

And today I don't know how to recover.

Te entregué hasta mi último suspiro,

I gave you my last breath,

y tú dejaste este corazón herido.

and you left this heart wounded.

¡Me olvidé de mí por quererte!

I forgot myself for wanting you!

Y ahora tengo que aprender a perderte.

And now I have to learn to lose you.

Qué ironía tiene la vida,

What irony life has,

dar el alma y terminar con una herida.

to give your soul and end up with a wound.

[Verso 2] · Verse 2

¿Cuántas noches le hablé a la soledad?

How many nights did I talk to loneliness?

¿Cuántas veces me engañé con la esperanza?

How many times did I deceive myself with hope?

Esperando que volvieras algún día,

Waiting for you to return someday,

mientras se apagaba poco a poco mi alegría.

while my joy slowly faded.

Yo te puse por encima de mis sueños,

I put you above my dreams,

te entregué mi corazón sin tener miedo.

I gave you my heart without fear.

Y ahora cargo con recuerdos que lastiman,

And now I carry memories that hurt,

con heridas que ni el tiempo cicatriza.

with wounds that not even time heals.

[Coro – Con más fuerza] · Chorus – With more force

¡Me olvidé de mí por amarte!

I forgot myself for loving you!

Y hoy no sé cómo recuperarme.

And today I don't know how to recover.

Te entregué hasta mi último suspiro,

I gave you my last breath,

y tú dejaste este corazón herido.

and you left this heart wounded.

¡Me olvidé de mí por quererte!

I forgot myself for wanting you!

Y ahora tengo que aprender a perderte.

And now I have to learn to lose you.

Qué ironía tiene la vida,

What irony life has,

dar el alma y terminar con una herida.

to give your soul and end up with a wound.

[Puente ] · Bridge

Pero algún día…

But someday…

Volveré a ser quien era.

I will be who I was again.

Volveré a sonreír,

I will smile again,

aunque tu amor ya no me quiera.

even if your love no longer wants me.

Porque amar no fue mi error,

Because loving was not my mistake,

mi error fue abandonarme…

my mistake was abandoning myself…

Por cuidar de tu corazón,

By taking care of your heart,

me olvidé de cuidarme.

I forgot to take care of myself.

Lines explained

“porque el corazón no entiende”

because the heart doesn't understand

This line expresses the common conflict between emotional attachment and rational understanding after a breakup. The heart, driven by feeling, struggles to let go, even when the mind knows it's over.

“Qué ironía tiene la vida,”

What irony life has,

This highlights the painful paradox of selfless love leading to personal suffering. The act of giving everything, meant to bring joy, instead results in deep emotional wounds.

“me olvidé de cuidarme.”

I forgot to take care of myself.

This line is the core message of the song, a realization that in prioritizing someone else's well-being, the singer neglected their own, leading to a loss of self.
