El Otro Yo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pero sin alas
Es tratar de vencer
Algo imposible de vencer,
es como tratar de desnudarte.
Siempre que lo intento me estás
mintiendo otra vez.
Y siempre es lo mismo
Si vos supieras, me muero por vos.
Y ahora tengo tantas flores en mis manos
pero hay una flor que es de un campo azul,
sabés no quiero arrancarte,
hoy me di cuenta que te quiero solamente a vos
The lyrics of El Otro Yo's song "Descripción" speak to the challenges and complexities of navigating the world and relationships.
The opening lines, "Estar en el mundo es como volar / Pero sin alas" (Being in the world is like flying / But without wings), suggest that being in the world can feel liberating and exhilarating, but also daunting and restrictive. It's a metaphor for the struggle to find one's place and purpose in a world that can sometimes feel limiting.
The next lines, "Es tratar de vencer / Algo imposible de vencer, / es como tratar de desnudarte" (It's like trying to defeat / Something impossible to defeat, / it's like trying to undress yourself), allude to the difficulty of overcoming something that seems insurmountable, perhaps an inner struggle or a personal challenge. It also touches on the vulnerability of trying to open up and reveal oneself, despite the fear of rejection or judgment.
The following lines, "Siempre que lo intento me estás / mintiendo otra vez. / Y siempre es lo mismo / y no puedo sacarlo de mi cabeza" (Every time I try, you're / lying again. / And it's always the same / and I can't get it out of my head), express frustration and disappointment in a relationship where the singer feels consistently deceived or betrayed. The repetition emphasizes the pattern of dishonesty, suggesting that the singer is unable to escape or forget the hurtful actions of their partner.
The final lines, "Si vos supieras, me muero por vos. / Y ahora tengo tantas flores en mis manos / pero hay una flor que es de un campo azul, / sabés no quiero arrancarte, / hoy me di cuenta que te quiero solamente a vos" (If you knew, I would die for you. / And now I have so many flowers in my hands / but there is one flower from a blue field, / you know, I don't want to pick you, / today I realized that I only want you), reveal the singer's deep love and longing for the person they are addressing. The mention of flowers symbolizes affection and beauty, but the blue flower represents uniqueness or specialness. Despite any issues or conflicts that may exist, the singer acknowledges their love for this person and desires them above anyone else. It is a realization of the singer's true feelings and a declaration of their commitment to this one individual.
