Lo Que No Fue No Será
El Gran Silencio Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

En tu mano yo aprendí a beber agua
Fui gorrión que se quedo preso en tu jaula
Porque yo corte mis alas
Y el alpiste que me dabas
Fué tan poco y sin embargo yo te amaba

Fué mi canto para ti siempre completo
Sin ti no pude volar en otros cielos

Pero me dejaste solo, confundido y olvidado
Que otra mano me ofreció el fruto anhelado

Lo que un día fué no será
Ya no vuelvas a buscarme
No tengo nada que darte
De tu alpiste me canse
Vete a volar a otros cielos
Y deja abierta tu jaula
Tal vez otro gorrión caiga
Pero dale de beber

Déjame encender la luz no quiero nada
Si esto hubiera sido ayer lo tomaría
La primera vez que ofreces
Para que yo aquí me quede
Pero si amarte ya que ganaría

Lo que un día fué no será
(lo que un día fue ya no será, ya núnca más será)
Ya no vuelvas a buscarme
(ya no me busques por favor)
No tengo nada que darte
(ni mi vida, ni mi mente, ni mi corazón)
De tu alpiste me canse
(para que veas lo que se siente)
Vete a volar a otros cielos
(vete a volar para otros cielos por favor mi corazón)
Y deja abierta tu jaula
(let's go, let's go)
Tal vez otro gorrión caiga

Pero dale (pero dale por favor a ese gorrión)
De beber

Overall Meaning

The song "Lo Que No Fue No Sera" by El Gran Silencio tells the story of a bird who became trapped in a cage after cutting its wings and becoming dependent on the love and care of its captor. The bird sings about how it learned to drink water from the hand of its captor and became content with the small amount of seed it was given. However, the bird eventually realizes that it has been trapped and longs to fly again.

The chorus of the song "Lo Que No Fue No Sera" translates to "what once was, will never be again" and expresses the bird's desire to be free and to not be pursued by its captor. The bird has grown tired of the small provisions it has been given and wants to explore new worlds and be free to live its own life.

Overall, this song is a metaphor for people who find themselves in unhealthy relationships and become trapped in them. It is about finding the courage to leave behind what was once comfortable and familiar in order to pursue a better life.
