Un Segundo
Gepe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dejando ganar a quien se quiere rendir
En tu cuerpo el color de una esquina con sol
Llueve donde no llueve, si hace frío das calor
Fue solo un segundo, en que sentí
Lo que es profundo
Lo que podemos tener
Supe de ti años después
Jugando al adiós, yéndose para no volver
Tomándolo todo para dejarlo ir
Un día de esos estamos así
En ese instante pude asentir
Lo que es más grande
Solo pasa una vez
Miramos la vida al mismo tiempo
No había nada que perder
Te comes lo que siembras, corazón
Vamos a encontrarnos en un futuro
Que se aleja más y más
Quiero volverte a ver
Te vi pasar en una historia que vi
Devuélvete un poco, no, no te vayas a ir
Ahí donde vas yo ya no estoy
El tiempo se acaba, este es el fin
De este instante en que sentí
En que fuimos grandes
Justo solo una vez
In Gepe's song "Un Segundo," the lyrics depict a story of love and missed opportunities. The first paragraph talks about how the singer met someone while searching for love but let it slip away. They allowed others who were ready to give up on love to win, and in this person's body, there is a warmth and brightness that brings light even in the coldest moments. It implies that this person has a unique ability to bring joy and comfort to others.
The second paragraph reflects on the realization that came years later. It suggests that the singer and this person played a game of goodbyes, constantly separating without the intention of returning. They take everything with them, leaving nothing behind. The lyrics express the hope that one day they will find themselves in a different situation, possibly hinting at the possibility of a reunion or a change in their current dynamic.
The third paragraph emphasizes the significance of a specific moment when the singer felt something profound. It emphasizes that such moments are rare and only occur once in a lifetime. It suggests that this moment may have brought clarity and a deeper understanding of their connection.
The final paragraph speaks to the shared experience of looking at life together. There is a sense of risk-taking in their relationship, as they have nothing to lose. The lyrics suggest that we reap what we sow, and the heart can be nourished or hurt depending on our choices. The singer expresses a desire to meet this person again in a future that seems to be drifting further away. There is a sense of urgency and a longing to reconnect before it's too late. The lyrics close by acknowledging that this profound connection between them only occurred once, making it all the more valuable and significant.
