Cicatrizarán comes from the verb cicatrizar, which means to scar or to heal with a scar. It's a poignant word that speaks to lasting marks, both physical and emotional.
In the song, the lyrics state, "Pero las de alma nunca cicatrizarán" (But those of the soul will never scar/heal). This powerful line uses the word to convey that some wounds, particularly those of the soul, leave permanent, unhealing marks, making it a deeply evocative and memorable word in the context of the song's somber theme.
Mägo de Oz brings us a powerful and intense song, "Mi Cuerpo Y Yo Nos Dejamos De Hablar" [My Body And I Stopped Talking To Each Other], that explores the devastating aftermath of sexual assault. The lyrics open with the chilling lines, "Desperté al oír mis propios gemidos / Y el olor a sangre me hizo recordar" [I woke up hearing my own moans / And the smell of blood made me remember]. This immediately sets a dark and unforgettable scene, describing the moment the victim regains consciousness after the attack.
The song vividly portrays the profound disconnect and self-hatred the victim feels, stating, "Mi cuerpo y yo nos odiamos / Nos dejamos de hablar" [My body and I hate each other / We stopped talking to each other]. The emotional wounds are deep, with the lyrics emphasizing, "Hay heridas que en la piel / A veces pueden curar / Pero las de alma / Nunca cicatrizarán" [There are wounds on the skin / Sometimes they can heal / But those of the soul / Will never scar]. The song also touches on the added layer of trauma when the assault results in pregnancy, with the line, "Y ahora una vida llevo en mi interior / Fruto del odio germen del horror" [And now I carry a life inside me / Fruit of hatred, germ of horror]. It's a raw and honest look at the lasting pain and the fight for agency after such a violation, ending with a clear and important message: "Un 'no' siempre será un 'no'" [A 'no' will always be a 'no'].
