BALA PERDIDA
Daniel Segura Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Justamente una bala perdidaaaaa
que nadie supo de donde salio.
Ella vive de su cuerpo y a cualquiera se lo presta por un vaso de cerveza y apenas tiene 13
Dice que no teme nada mas la muerte tenia una bala que en billar nadie le gana que no le hace falta nada
que con su cuerpo y su belleza de frescura
consigue lo que quiere
a sus padres para nada le ha valido aconsejar a esa Niña que ha dejado hasta la escuela
que sera que le esta pasando a ella asi tan de repente
que ha sufrido bastanre le echa la culpa a sus padres
por no aceptarle un amor
amor que no convenia
pero saber que hizo ella
cuando su amor encontro... con otra
se tiraba a la calle, no oia consejos de nadie la nena ya se perdio
y de su vida amargada, de que estando enamorada




llevaron su corazon
y eata loca, ieeejee, esta loca

Overall Meaning

The song "Bala Perdida" by Daniel Segura is a poignant reflection on the dangers and consequences of living a reckless life. The main subject of the song is a young woman who has fallen into a life of prostitution at the age of only 13. She is willing to trade her body for a drink of beer and has no qualms about it. Despite numerous warnings from her parents and loved ones, she is convinced that her beauty and youth will always get her what she wants.


The chorus of the song focuses on the danger that threatens this young woman in the form of "una bala perdida", or a stray bullet. The lyrics speculate that nobody knows where the bullet came from, but it is clear that it is an ever-present danger in her life. This is perhaps a metaphor for the many other dangers that she faces as a result of her lifestyle, including violence, disease, and addiction. Despite these risks, she remains convinced that she is invincible and that nothing can harm her.
