Oncemil
Abel Pintos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No me gusta herir a quien amo
No me gustar traer el pasado aquí al presente
No me gusta sentirme ausente
Cuando tu vives a mi lado

No me gusta matar las horas
Sonreir si no soy feliz, convertirme tan solo
En un fantasma amante de todos
Vendiéndole el alma al diablo

No me gusta vivir así
Así

Así como si no doliera,
Así como si no estuviera
Ahogándome en palabras mudas
Con las manos duras de arañar la arena

Partido en once mil pedazos
Callándole la voz del alma a los dos
Asumiéndome un caso perdido

No me gusta herir a quien amo
No me gustar traer el pasado aquí al presente
No me gusta sentirme ausente
Cuando tú vives a mi lado

No me gusta matar las horas
Sonreir si no soy feliz, convertirme tan solo
En un fantasma amante de todos
Vendiéndole el alma al diablo

No me gusta vivir así

Así como si no doliera
Así como si no estuviera
Ahogándome en palabras mudas
Con las manos duras de arañar la arena

Partido en oncemil pedazos
Callándole la voz del alma a los dos
Asumiéndome un caso perdido

La suma de las dos mitades
La lágrima alimenta al río
La cura de las vanidades
La luz abriendose camino para dar olvido a las soledades

Así como si no doliera
Así como si no estuviera

Partido en oncemil pedazos




Callándole la voz del alma a los dos
Asumiéndome un caso perdido

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Abel Pintos's song "Oncemil" express the pain of a relationship falling apart. The singer doesn't like to hurt the person he loves, but he can't escape his past and his feelings of absence even though his partner is physically present. He is tired of pretending to be happy and hiding behind a facade of being an all-loving ghost of everyone, even if it means he is selling his soul to the devil. He is living in agony, drowning in silence and feeling like his hands are clawing at the sand. The repetition of the phrase "Así como si no doliera" (as if it didn't hurt) reflects the singer's attempt to convince himself that he is not in pain, even though he clearly is.


The final verse offers a glimmer of hope in the midst of the darkness. The "sum of the two halves" suggests that perhaps the relationship can be mended, and the tear that feeds the river represents the catharsis of expressing one's pain. The "cure for vanities" could signify letting go of the ego and focusing on what truly matters in life. The light that opens a path to forget the loneliness implies that there may be a way out of this period of suffering.


Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the complexities of love and the struggle to reconcile past and present, pain and hope.
