La recuerdo en la mañana despertándose en mi cama
La recuerdo en la pereza de una rutina que empieza
La recuerdo preocupada por lo que hoy no vale nada
La recuerdo en sus dilemas entre cuentas y poemas
En el ruido de la calle perdida siempre en los detalles
La recuerdo, sin vergüenza
Y dejo en mi corazón, la marca de su amor en solo un segundo
Como fuimos a parar, del cielo a este lugar en solo un segundo
Como fuimos a parar, del cielo a este lugar en solo un segundo
No recuerdo bien su cara, ni su voz ni su mirada
No recuerdo sus historias ni sus penas ni sus glorias
Lo que a veces me la encuentro caminando entre mis sueños
Me recuerdo un sentimiento del que ya no somos dueños
Y dejo en mi corazón, la marca de su amor en solo un segundo
Como fuimos a parar, del cielo a este lugar en solo un segundo, en un segundo
Como fuimos a parar, del cielo a este lugar en solo un segundo
Como fuimos a parar, del cielo a este lugar en solo un segundo
Como fuimos a parar, en solo un segundo
The lyrics to Bacilos's song "Solo Un Segundo" speak to the power of memory and how it can shape our perceptions of love and loss. At the heart of the song is a recollection of a past love, remembered through small, mundane details - like the way she took her coffee - but also through deeper emotions, expressed through the line "La recuerdo en un segundo en que llego a lo mas profundo" ("I remember her in a second when I reach the deepest").
Despite the strength of this memory, the singer acknowledges that he doesn't remember everything about this person - her face, her voice, her stories - and that this memory is often more about his own feelings than any concrete details. The song ends on a wistful note, pondering how quickly things can change ("Como fuimos a parar, del cielo a este lugar en solo un segundo" - "How did we end up here, from heaven to this place in just a second").
Overall, "Solo Un Segundo" explores the ways in which memories shape our sense of self, and how even fleeting relationships can leave indelible marks on our hearts.
