De Saloon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tengo miedo
De volver
Y es el fuego
De tus ojos
Que al perder
nada que hacer...
Y nada que hacer
Quiero volver y besarte
Y mi unico amor
Ya me olvido
Ya es muy tarde
Y nada que hacer
Quiero volver y besarte (y besarte)
Y nada que hacer
Y quiero volver y besarte
Y nada que hacer
Quiero volver y besarte
Y mi unico amor
Y ya me olvido
Y ya es muy tarde...no
Y nada que hacer
Quiero volver...no
Comencemos...
In De Saloon's song "Dos," the lyrics talk about the fear of returning to a past love, represented by "the fire in your eyes." The singer feels that there is nothing to be done in this situation, but still wants to go back and kiss the former lover. However, they acknowledge that it's too late and the old love has already forgotten them. Despite this, the singer still longs to return to this relationship, even if it seems hopeless.
The lyrics convey a sense of longing and regret, with the singer wishing they could go back and change things. The use of "nothing to be done" emphasizes the feeling of helplessness that comes with wanting to fix a situation that may be beyond repair. The repeated line "and nothing to do" adds to this sense of resignation and acceptance of the situation.
Some possible interpretations of the song could be that it speaks to the universal feeling of wanting to reconcile with a past love, or the complexity of balancing nostalgia with the reality of the present. Overall, the lyrics express a relatable mix of desire and heartache that is common to many love songs.
