Cumbia Para Olvidar Lyrics in English Mon Laferte

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cumbia Para Olvidar by Mon Laferte from Spanish to English.
A few months ago I wanted to leave you
But the days go by and just go by
I spend my time on words
Looking for the right way
Life keeps running and running across my face
I take the word apart and I can't reach
The bottom of your cellular surface
And always crying in bed
I'm already so used to it
I look for you, I look for you
And I find nothing
Cumbia to forget
Forgetting to forgive
The melody of a trombone
Heals my soul
Cumbia, I don't want to feel
Cumbia, I can't live like this
Cumbia, take me dancing
Help me forget
This pain
I know that your complexity when talking
Has turned into your lethal weapon
I pretend that I can endure
I pretend I won't see you anymore
Round and round I go in bed
Cumbia to forget
Forgetting to forgive
The melody of a trombone
Heals my soul
Cumbia, I don't want to feel
Cumbia, I can't live like this
Cumbia, take me dancing
Help me forget this pain
No
I can't live anymore
With this scar
My whole soul hurts
And still
That I try to forget
I can't stand it
I'm desperate
Cumbia to forget
Forgetting to forgive
The melody of a trombone
Heals my soul
Cumbia, I don't want to feel
Cumbia, I can't live like this
Cumbia, take me dancing
Help me forget
This pain

SONG MEANING

Feel the tug of war between heartbreak and rhythm! In Cumbia Para Olvidar Mon Laferte wraps raw sadness inside the bright, hip–swaying beat of a classic cumbia. The singer has tried to leave her lover behind, yet the days keep slipping by while she is stuck replaying conversations and tearing words apart, desperate to reach the core of someone who stays out of emotional reach. Every night ends the same way: crying in bed, haunted by a scar that refuses to close.

But there is a lifeline. She begs the cumbia itself to rescue her – the steady percussion, the warm trombone line, the invitation to dance. If she can move, maybe she can forgive, or at least forget for a song or two. This track celebrates music as medicine: a dance floor confessional where swirling melodies help rinse away pain even when the heart is not ready to let go. Turn it up, sway along, and feel how rhythm can lift even the heaviest memories.
