Carla Morrison takes us on an emotional tightrope walk in “Un Mundo Raro,” a bittersweet bolero about love lost, pride protected, and the white lies we tell to save face. Over a nostalgic melody, the narrator begs a former lover to erase any trace of their shared story. If someone offers the ex “a sun and an eternal sky,” she should pretend the past never happened. In other words, both characters agree to rewrite history so neither appears vulnerable: she must say she has never loved, he will claim he has never felt pain.
The song explores the paradox of heartbreak: we hide our deepest feelings precisely because they are so real. By inventing a fantastical “mundo raro” (strange world) where tears and love do not exist, the singers shield themselves from gossip and judgment. Yet their very request exposes how profoundly they still care. “Un Mundo Raro” is a tender lesson on the lengths people go to protect their dignity, proving that sometimes the biggest lie we tell others is also the truth we wish we could tell ourselves.
