Amnesia Lyrics in English Dalvin La Melodia
Amnesia literally translates to "amnesia" in English. It's a striking and somewhat unusual word to find repeatedly in a song, making it instantly memorable.
In this song, Dalvin La Melodía uses "amnesia" to describe his ex-lover's apparent forgetfulness of their past relationship and promises. He repeatedly questions if she's suffering from amnesia because she acts as if she doesn't remember him or their shared memories, highlighting the pain and disbelief he feels about her coldness.
"Amnesia" is a bachata about being forgotten by someone who was once sure about you.
The singer lists everything his ex has lost track of. His laugh, his face, the summer they spent together, the promise that it would last forever and that she would not go back to the other guy. He is not so much angry as bewildered, and he keeps asking questions that have no good answer. What happened to the memories they wrote down in notebooks? What happened to the songs they used to dedicate to each other?
By the second verse he has a theory. She wanted a richer life, and the gifts he could afford were never going to be enough. She erased the tattoo of his name, and as he puts it, she wiped him off her body. The coldness in the way she looks at him now is all the proof he needs.
The hook turns that into a joke he does not find funny. She does not really have amnesia. She just decided to forget.
Between the verses you can hear the record being made. He calls out to his guitarist Mikey and to the musicólogos, the listeners who follow the bachata guitar line closely. It is a Dominican tradition, and it keeps the heartbreak from sitting too heavily.
