Mi primer oro
Dënver Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pensar que a veces se pierde
Y otras se gana
En que me ves en tu tele a color
Desde tu casa
A que pueda resbalar
Desde las barras
Y que conocerás a alguien
Este fin de semana

En que si gano... (mmh)

En que se gano...
Te daré la medalla

Overall Meaning

In "Mi Primer Oro" by Denver, the singer contemplates the concept of winning and losing in life. He acknowledges that sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. He reflects on the fact that people can see him on their television in full color, from the comfort of their own homes. The next phrase, "Desde las barras," is a little more ambiguous. "Barras" typically refers to bars, but given the context, it's likely talking about sports fans watching from the bleachers. The singer acknowledges that he could fall, be defeated, or make a mistake at any moment, even if he's winning at the moment. Finally, he hints at the possibility of meeting someone new and suggests that if he does win, he'll give them a medal as a prize.

The song seems to be about the push and pull of life - sometimes things go our way, and sometimes they don't. It's a reflection on how we can enjoy the victories, but we can't take them for granted because we never know when we might lose the next round. The singer is also aware of the fleeting nature of success and how it can be easily replaced by failure.
