Doble Pletina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rebotó en la esquina y rompió un cristal.
Gritaste "te quiero" y no te entendí;
Que te dé dinero quien te quiera a ti.
Empecé a recibir cartas,
Nunca supe de quién eran.
Me llamaban por teléfono,
Me lanzaste un beso y apuntaste mal,
Rebotó en la esquina y rompió un cristal.
Gritaste "te quiero" y no te entendí;
Que te dé dinero quien te quiera a ti.
Te acercaste a hablar conmigo,
Pero yo me di la vuelta.
Saludabas desde lejos
Y yo no me daba cuenta.
Empecé a recibir cartas,
Nunca supe de quién eran.
Me llamaban por teléfono,
Yo estaba con cualquiera.
Fin.
The song "Error de Cálculo" by Doble Pletina depicts a situation where the singer is being pursued by someone who they are not interested in. The first verse describes a situation where the pursuer throws a kiss, but misses the target and ends up breaking a window. The pursuer then declares their love, but the singer does not understand and tells them to find someone who will give them money.
The second verse shows that the pursuer continues to pursue the singer through letters and phone calls, but the singer is not interested and often does not even realize that the pursuer is trying to communicate with them. The song ends with the singer dismissing the pursuer's advances as they are with someone else.
