Como Sanar Lyrics in English by Frank Reyes
Allantarlo comes from the verb allantar, which means to soothe, calm, or alleviate. It's a less common word than calmar or aliviar, making it more interesting and unique.
In the song, Frank Reyes asks, "¿Cómo allantarlo para que cobre fuerzas?" (How to soothe it so it gains strength?). He's referring to his wounded heart, seeking a way to comfort it and help it recover from the pain of a past love. This word beautifully conveys the tender care he wishes to give his broken heart.
Frank Reyes's "Como Sanar" is a heartfelt bachata about the struggle to move on from a past love. He sings about feeling incomplete despite having everything around him, including "rastro de un pasado amor" [a trace of a past love]. It's clear that this memory is a powerful force, as he admits, "Y aunque quiera no puedo sacarlo" [And even though I want to, I can't get it out].
The song's core is a series of questions: "Cómo sanar un corazón que está herido / Cómo borrar la cicatriz del amor" [How to heal a wounded heart / How to erase love's scar]. He's tried everything, but it always comes to nothing, with the ex-lover remaining "parte de mí" [part of me]. There's a glimmer of hope, though, as he promises, "Prometo que aprenderé a vivir sin ti" [I promise I will learn to live without you]. He even looks to the future, hoping that if the ex ever returns, "Espero en Dios que sea tarde ya" [I hope to God it's too late], and he'll have found a new path and a new love.
