Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Para Olvidar by Sebastian Yatra from Spanish to English.

I already know that you don't care to show up today

And you know how much it hurts to tell you 'no more'

But it's that to love it takes two

And you've been gone for a long time

And even if it sounds like a lie, I was better off

Life taught me how to live without you

And I could be happy even though you're not here

Understand that I don't want you to say sorry

And insecurity hits me

You know that I never knew how to tell you no

To forget

Give me back my dreams

Keep your voice

And even if you don't want to see it, we're no longer two

I'm gonna act strong, I don't want to see you

To forget

What I felt inside when you were here

Your kisses, my songs, the sleepless nights

You already know how that feels, I don't want to see you

To forget

I've sworn in one and a thousand songs to not be with you anymore

Then this madness always shows up and I become your friend again

But it's that to love it takes two

And you've been gone for a long time

And even if it sounds like a lie, I was better off

To forget

Give me back my dreams

Keep your voice

And even if you don't want to see it, we're no longer two

I'm gonna act strong, I don't want to see you

To forget

What I felt inside when you were here

Your kisses, my songs, the sleepless nights

You already know how that feels, I don't want to see you

To forget

And I lost the fear of staying alone

When it hurts that you're not here, I ignore it

You have to cry to laugh

To forget you have to suffer

To forget

Give me back my dreams, keep your voice

And even if you don't want to see it, we're no longer two

I'm gonna act strong, I don't want to see you

To forget

What I felt inside when you were here

Your kisses, my songs, the sleepless nights

You already know how that feels, I don't want to see you

To forget

SONG MEANING

**Sebastián Yatra, the Colombian singer-songwriter known for turning raw feelings into pop poetry, invites us into the emotional roller-coaster of “Para Olvidar.” At first listen, the song feels like a tender breakup ballad, but dig a little deeper and you’ll find a battle cry for self-respect. Yatra sings about realizing that love cannot be a solo project: “Para amar se necesitan dos.” Tired of carrying a relationship on his shoulders, he chooses distance and fortitude over the endless loop of apologies and reconciliations that never fix anything.

Rather than wallowing, the narrator draws a line in the sand and declares, “Devuélveme mis sueños, quédate tu voz.” He’s reclaiming his hopes, his music, even his sleepless nights, and redefining them outside the shadow of the person who once inspired them. The track captures the confusing mix of nostalgia, insecurity, and newfound strength that comes with letting go. By the final chorus, Yatra reminds us that tears are sometimes the ticket to laughter and that suffering can be the first step to freedom — a universal lesson wrapped in a catchy Latin pop melody.
