Soledad
Coti
quiero que comprendas
en el pozo caimos,
tubimos nuestro pacto why no lo cumplimos,
why no es cuestion de culpas nada mas,
si el angel que cuidaba nuestra puerta lo hizo mal.
why de que hacer preguntas, que no tienen respuesta,

la vida esta plagada en malditas apuestas,
why no ha yninguna duda que perdi,
per oel perro que tenia me alquilo su sicatris.

Estribillo

Soledad,
why ya no hay anda que hacer,
la distancia no entiende de penas
why ya no hay anda que hacer
con pasiones why vidas agenas
maltratado por el humo me acoste
mas que nunca tengo escrito soledad en mi pared

me esperan noches largas
tirado en al alfombra
prefiero estar a oscuras, por no ver mi sombra
tal vez no reconoscas que te vi,
estabas con tu saco verde why tu bufanda gris.

Estribillo

soledad,
why ya no hay nada que hacer
la distancia no entiende de penas
why ya no hay nada que hacer
con pasiones why vidas agenas
maltratado por el humo
me acoste
mas que nunca tengo escrito soeldad
en mi pared

why ya no hay nad que hacer, soledad
why ya no hay nada q hacer con pasiones why vidas agenas.

Overall Meaning

"Soledad" by Coti is a heart-wrenching song about the pain of loneliness and lost love. The lyrics narrate the desire for the other person to understand that their love was real but that they fell into a hole and did not fulfill their pact. The song tries to convey that there is no point in apportioning the blame as the situation was bound to happen since the angel who guarded their love failed. The lyrics suggest that questions without answers only make things worse, and life is a gamble, hence the uncertainties. The singer's scars seem to be the only reminder of the old love, and he is left alone to deal with the loneliness, reflecting on his wall with the word "solitude" written on it.

The chorus of the song repeats the stark reality that there is nothing left to be done, and distance doesn't care about human suffering. The singer speaks of feeling despised by the smoke that covers much of his restlessness, and in the times of sadness, he prefers to be in the dark to avoid his shadow. The lyrics end with the singer mentioning the green coat and grey scarf of the person he once loved and the overwhelming feeling of being alone.
