Sola
Emilio José Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vive sola en algún lugar
En algún pueblo con las demás
Cuando debiera estar muy lejos
Siendo la dueña de un gran hogar

No tiene amor por que rechazó
En tiempos mozos una propuesta
Le duele el alma, el remordimiento

Quiere vivir y sentirse viento

Sola, sola tu vivirás y no tendrás
Y no tendrás a quien tus penas contar.
Sola, sola tu vivirás y no tendrás
Y no tendrás a quien tus penas contar.

Sus ojos tristes recuerdan ver
Buscando en mi una razón de ser
Yo la orienté por el buen camino
Y ella eligió su triste destino

Pobre chiquilla que no supo ver
En tiempos mozos de aquel ayer
Que yo la amaba y la quería
Y hoy ya es tarde para volver

Sola, sola tu vivirás y no tendrás
Y no tendrás a quien tus penas contar.
Sola, sola tu vivirás y no tendrás

Y no tendrás a quien tus penas contar
Laila, laila, larailala...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Emilio José's song "Sola" speak about a woman who lives alone in a small town, despite being capable of having a lavish home. It is revealed that she rejected a marriage proposal in her youth, and now lives with regret for not having loved. Her sorrowful eyes reflect the pain that she endures alone. The singer of the song, who loved her in the past, tried to guide her towards a better path, but she ultimately chose this solitary fate for herself. Despite her loneliness, she has nobody to confide in or share her pains with.

The song seems to encapsulate the sad reality of many individuals who, for whatever reason, reject love or are unable to find it, and are left alone later in life. The repetition of the lines "sola, sola tu vivirás y no tendrás / y no tendrás a quien tus penas contar" drives home the point that loneliness can be a heavy burden to carry, particularly if one has nobody to share it with.

Overall, "Sola" paints a picture of a woman who once had the chance to experience love and companionship, but let it slip through her fingers. As a result, she now faces a lonely existence that is colored by regret and unfulfilled desires.
