Peruvian Love Song | Olvídame

Olvídame

Olvídame, sung by Peruvian artist Corazón Serrano, is a love song hailing from Peru. Released in 2021, as of December 2022, it now has over 32M YouTube views. Unliked other music we label as “love songs,” the steady beat of this musical piece represents surrender to the end of a love relationship. The song is neither upbeat nor slow, but stays with a middle tempo, that echos complacent disappointment one may feel after lost love.

As the lyrics suggest, though loving and losing may feel like death, it is better to forgive and move on. Often, it’s easier to stay stuck in our past experience of love and this closes our heart to learn new ways and modes of loving. The Olvídame music video begins with the lead singer miss-stepping on the choreography. By the end of the video, she has found her way.

And isn’t this the experience of love? Finally walking in-step with harmonious confidence toward love.

Peruvian Love Song | Olvídame

La noche se disuelve
Recobra su color
Las sombras desvanecerán
El sueño y el sudor
Y el sol va saliendo a la ciudad
Los autos se deslizan y se van
Y, por favor, olvídame

Igual que hoy
Igual que ayer
Olvídame

Volvemos a encontrarnos
En un gran almacén
La noche es el contrato que
Venimos a romper

Y el brillo nos lastima una vez más
Y el maratón suicida
Que nos comerá

Y, por favor, olvídame
Igual que hoy
Igual que ayer

Y, por favor, olvídame
Igual que yo te olvidaré
Olvídame

Y, por favor, olvídame
Igual que hoy
Igual que ayer

Y, por favor, olvídame
Igual que yo te olvidaré
Olvídame

Olvídame English Lyrics Translation

The night dissolves
Regains its color
The shadows will fade
Sleep and sweat
And the sun is rising into the city
Cars slide and go
And please forget me
Same as today
Same as yesterday
Forgive me
We meet again
In a department store
The night is the contract that
We come to break
And the brightness hurts us once again
And the suicide marathon
What will eat us
And please forget me
Same as today
Same as yesterday
And please forget me
Just as I will forget you
Forgive me
And please forget me
Same as today
Same as yesterday
And please forget me
Just as I will forget you
Forgive me
