Cruz de Olvido paints the bittersweet picture of a love so deep that the singer is willing to walk away in order to protect the one she adores. As the sun sets, she boards a symbolic boat marked with a “cross of oblivion” and a “cross of love,” knowing that distancing herself is kinder than staying and causing pain. This dramatic farewell is not a denial of love; it is a sacrifice, a promise that her feelings will remain even while she sails into loneliness.
In these heartfelt verses, Becky G blends her Mexican-American roots with a classic ranchera theme: love mixed with honor and resignation. The steady rhythm feels like oars dipping into water, and every line shows the tug-of-war between passion and duty. By choosing departure over damage, the narrator transforms heartbreak into an act of devotion, reminding listeners that sometimes the greatest proof of love is letting go.
