Tatuaje means 'tattoo'. It's an interesting and visually striking word that isn't commonly found in every love song, making it stand out.
In this song, Laura Pausini uses it metaphorically to describe the lasting impact of a person's voice and joy: "Siguen en mĂ, son todavĂa / Como un tatuaje de mi piel" (They remain in me, they are still / Like a tattoo on my skin). This beautiful imagery conveys a deep, permanent, and unforgettable presence, making the word incredibly evocative and memorable.
Have you ever missed someone so much that their memory feels like a permanent part of you? That's the heart of this incredible song by Italian superstar Laura Pausini. She sings about a love that is so deep, it's impossible to move on from. The person is gone, but the feeling is stronger than ever. She describes their memory as being "Como un tatuaje de mi piel" (Like a tattoo on my skin), a perfect image for something that can't be removed.
Throughout the song, she pleads with this person, "Tú no me dejes más / Nunca me dejes" (Don't leave me anymore / Never leave me), even though she knows they aren't there. She sees them when they're not there and feels their kiss on her lips. It's a song about holding onto a memory so tightly that the person becomes, as the title says, truly "Inolvidable" (Unforgettable).
