Como Una Novela
Los Acosta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nunca supiste mis ternuras comprender
Ya no me extrañan
Tus trampas de mujer
Una novela tan difícil de contar
Que escribimos capítulos de amor
Mi corazón
Lloraba de dolor
Yo como actor fui pésimo
Tú como actriz, lo máximo
Fingiste bien por tanto tiempo
Yo te creí
En tu papel sos única
Yo solamente aplaudo
El perdedor fui yo
Pues aún te amo
Una novela tan romántica y tan cruel
Que fue escrita con mis lágrimas, lo sé
Mas no me quejo
Mi destino así es
Yo como actor fui pésimo
Tú como actriz, lo máximo
Fingiste bien por tanto tiempo
Yo te creí
En tu papel sos única
Yo solamente aplaudo
El perdedor fui yo
Pues aún te amo
The song "Como Una Novela" by Los Acosta presents a metaphorical comparison between life and a novel. The lyrics state that their lives have always been like a novel, but the female partner in the relationship has never been able to understand the male partner's tenderness. There is a sense of longing and nostalgia as they reminisce about the past. The male protagonist says he no longer misses the woman's cheating ways, but it's clear that he is still in love with her.
The song portrays their relationship as a romantic and cruel novel that has been written with his tears. The female partner is depicted as a skilled actress who has convincingly played her part for a long time. The male partner, on the other hand, admits to being a terrible actor who was taken in by her performance. There is an acknowledgement that he was the one who lost out, and yet his love for her remains strong.
Overall, "Como Una Novela" speaks to the complexities of love and relationships, the blind trust that we place in our partners, and the all-consuming nature of love that keeps us wanting even when it hurts.
