Otra Vez
Victor Garcia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A quien tanto esperaba
A quien siempre soñe
Pero al verla a los ojos
No me pude mover
Me quede con las ganas
De seguirle los pies
Se me fue
Como se va la tarde
Como si fuera un tren
Poco a poco mis ojos
La dejaron de ver
Y no se si algun dia
Me la encuentre otra vez
Otra vez
Aunque sea solo un minuto
Quiero verla otra vez
Pa' decirle tantas cosas
Que por tonto calle
Ayer
Otra vez
Ojala que se cruzara por mi vida otra vez
Pa' matar esta tristeza
Que dejo esa mujer
De la que me enamore
Ayer, ayer
Se me fue
Como se va la tarde
Como si fuera un tren
Poco a poco mis ojos
La dejaron de ver
Y no se si algun dia
Me la encuentre otra vez
Otra vez
Aunque sea solo un minuto
Quiero verla otra vez
Pa' decirle tantas cosas
Que por tonto calle
Ayer
Otra vez
Ojala que se cruzara por mi vida otra vez
Pa' matar esta tristeza
Que dejo esa mujer
De la que me enamore
Ayer, ayer
In "Otra Vez," Victor Garcia sings about a missed opportunity with a woman he had been waiting for his whole life, someone he had dreamed of and imagined meeting. But when he finally met her and looked into her eyes, he couldn't move and missed his chance. She disappeared, like the sunset or a departing train, gradually fading away until he couldn't see her anymore. He doesn't know if he'll ever encounter her again, but he longs for even a brief encounter to tell her all the things he wished he had said before.
The song captures the bittersweet feeling of regret and hope that comes with a missed connection. The singer pines for a chance to right his wrongs and express his feelings, but he also knows that it may never happen. The repetition of the phrase "otra vez" (again) emphasizes his desire to relive the moment and make things right.
The lyrics also touch on the universal theme of lost love and the sorrow and longing that comes with it. The woman the singer fell in love with has left an indelible mark on his heart, and he can't escape the sadness that she has caused.
Overall, "Otra Vez" is a poignant song that captures the complicated emotions that come with love and missed opportunities.
