Tenerme q aprender q siempre estas
Loca, me volveria loca
Por cada vez q llego y tu no estas
Una y otra vez seria capaz de contemplar
Cada lunar q adorna en ti cada despertar
Una y otra vez seria capaz de dibujar
Una y otra vez, una y otra vez una y otra vez
Otra, te contaria otra
Si por cada mentira me amaras mas
LLanto, te quitaria el llanto
Debajo del paragua del verbo amar
Una y otra vez seria capaz de contemplar
Cada lunar q adorna en ti cada despertar
Una y otra vez seria capaz de dibujar
Y salpicar con un pincel el mar de tu mirar
Una y otra vez, una y otra vez una y otra vez
Si son los celos, los q amo y maldigo
Q me den castigo, q me quemen con hielo
Q me roben las letras pa' decirte t quiero
Pero si t quiero q me adornen con besos
Q me leas un verso, q me rian las gracias
Q me digas t quiero y q no sea un mal sueño
Una y otra vez, una y otra vez
Una y otra vez seria capaz de contemplar
Cada lunar q adorna en ti cada despertar
Una y otra vez seria capaz de dibujar
Y salpicar con un pincel el mar de tu mirar
Una y otra vez, una y otra vez una y otra vez
The song Una y Otra Vez by Ednita Nazario is about a longing for someone who is not always there, and the willingness to keep experiencing the same pain and joy repeatedly just for the chance to be with them again. The first verse establishes the idea that the singer is aware that the object of their affection is not fully committed to them, but they are still eager to have them around. The second verse introduces the idea of lying and crying, and how the singer would be willing to take on these emotional burdens if it meant receiving more love in return. The chorus repeats the phrase "una y otra vez," which means "one and another time" or "over and over again," and emphasizes the idea that the singer is willing to endure any hardship for the chance to be with the one they love.
The third verse brings in a new element, with the singer acknowledging that jealousy is a part of their love for this person, and they are willing to suffer punishment for it. However, they also want to be showered with affection and compliments, and the chorus repeats the desire to experience the same joys and pains repeatedly. Overall, the song captures the bittersweet nature of loving someone who is not fully committed or available, and the willingness to keep reaching for them despite the pain it sometimes brings.
