Para Olvidarte Lyrics in English by Mau y Ricky
Alfajor refers to a traditional South American sandwich cookie, usually filled with dulce de leche and sometimes covered in chocolate or powdered sugar. It's a specific, culturally rich word rarely found in song lyrics.
In "Para Olvidarte," the artists use "Otra una dulzura un alfajor" ("Another sweetness, an alfajor") as a sweet metaphor for a new love interest, someone who brings back the comfort of something familiar and delicious.
"Para Olvidarte" ("To Forget You") is Mau y Ricky's confession that moving on hasn't worked. The hook admits it outright — "Para olvidarte" ("to forget you") — describing someone who shows up "a curarme" ("to heal me") with someone new, only to find the old feeling never left. The chorus repeats "Aunque nunca me los" ("even if you never give them to me"), a stubborn refusal to let go even while chasing a cure that doesn't exist.
It's a classic breakup-in-denial song: every attempt at distraction just proves how present the memory still is. The repeated "oh" outro isn't filler — it's the sound of someone who's run out of words for the ache and is just sitting inside it.
