Un Viejo Amor
El Consorcio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Una aventura sin más ¿lo aceptarías?
Y si supieras que ayer no te sentía
Yo te quería querer y no podía
Nunca has pensado que tal vez
Ya no sea el amor de tu vida
Por qué no damos marcha atrás
Tan solo tú, yo y un viejo cariño
Solo tú, yo y un calor dormido
No somos más que un hombre, una mujer
Tratando de salvar un amor herido
Qué pasaría si tú me confesaras
Que has encontrado otro amor fuera de casa
Si te dijera: lo sé ¿qué pensarías?
Que te he sabido entender o me odiarías
Y es que lo nuestro es caminar
Hacia un no sé qué día a día
Es que lo nuestro no es hablar
Es la soledad en compañía
Tan solo tú, yo y un viejo cariño
Solo tú, yo y un calor dormido
No somos más que un hombre, una mujer
Tratando de salvar un amor herido
Es que lo nuestro no es hablar
Es la soledad en compañía
Tan solo tú, yo y un viejo cariño
Solo tú, yo y un calor dormido
No somos más que un hombre, una mujer
Tratando de salvar un amor herido
Un amor perdido
"Un Viejo Amor" by El Consorcio is a ballad about the complexities of love and relationships. The song begins with the singer questioning what their partner would do if they were to cheat on them. They wonder if their partner would accept it as simply an adventure or if they would be hurt. The singer then expresses their own difficulty in trying to love their partner, despite wanting to do so.
The second verse of the song is from the perspective of the partner. The singer wonders if their partner has found another love outside of their relationship and if they were to confess, how would they be received. The chorus repeats the sentiment that all they have is each other and their old love as they try to save their relationship.
The song's lyrics are a raw and honest portrayal of the struggles within a relationship. It highlights the importance of communication and understanding, and how even the strongest of loves can be tested. The use of the phrase "un viejo amor" (an old love) emphasizes the deep history and connection between the two partners. Ultimately, the song is about overcoming obstacles and finding a way to make love work.
