Lo Vas A Olvidar Lyrics in English by Billie Eilish, Rosalía
**Veneno** literally translates to "poison". It's a dramatic and emotionally charged word that you don't find in every song.
In "Lo Vas A Olvidar," Billie Eilish uses veneno metaphorically to represent the toxic feelings and emotional damage remaining after a painful breakup. The word is so central to the song's theme of hurt that it's used in both the Spanish and English lyrics, making it a powerful and memorable word to learn.
Billie Eilish teams up with Rosalía for "Lo Vas A Olvidar", a brooding track where both singers confront the messy aftermath of a broken bond. Sung mostly in Spanish with Billie switching into English, the lyrics obsess over whether forgiveness is even on the table. The core question repeats relentlessly: "¿Lo vas a olvidar?" [Will you forget it?]. They trade direct questions like "Dime si me echas de menos aún" [Tell me if you still miss me] and "Dime si no me perdonas aún" [Tell me if you don't forgive me yet], calling out all the lingering bitterness with "¿Qué harás con todo este veneno? Nada bueno" [What will you do with all this poison? Nothing good]. It is blunt and slightly dramatic, especially with lines like "Dame un beso y bájame de la cruz" [Give me a kiss and take me down from the cross].
For English learners, listen closely when Billie steps up with English idioms and sharp clapbacks. She delivers the classic proverb "You reap what you sow" [You suffer the consequences of your own past actions], pointing out that the other person created this distance themselves. She then delivers a killer piece of logic: "If I wasn't important, then why would you waste all your poison?" The song cuts between grand claims like "Un día soy un Dios y al otro puedo partirme" [One day I'm a God and the next I can break apart] and casual voice notes ("Besitos, hahaha! Take care, please" [Kisses, hahaha! Take care, please]), showing just how confusing it is to walk away when nobody wants to admit they still care.
