Oración
Héroes del Silencio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pierdo el tiempo pensando en lo esencial
Que a veces dejo pasar
¡Cuántos instantes he ignorado ya
Capaces de haberme cambiado!

Y no hay oración
Capaz de decidir por mí
¡Oh, señor!, No queda otra opción
Y jamás me vuelvo a arrepentir

Siempre hay una disyuntiva
Ante la cual siempre hay que elegir
No queda otra alternativa
Rápidamente hay que decidir

Y no hay oración
Capaz de decidir por mí
¡Oh, señor!, No queda otra opción
Y jamás me vuelvo a arrepentir

No hay oración
Capaz de decidir por mí
¡Oh, señor!, No queda otra opción
Y jamás me vuelvo a arrepentir

No no no hay oración
Capaz de decidir por mí




¡Oh, señor!, No queda otra opción
Y jamás me vuelvo a arrepentir

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Héroes del Silencio's song Oración ("prayer" in English) deal with the theme of decision-making and taking responsibility for one's own choices. The singer of the song laments how many essential moments in his life he has let slip away due to his indecisiveness, and how even prayer cannot make decisions for him. He realizes that he is the only one who can take control of his life, and that he must be prepared to live with the consequences of his choices.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "No hay oración" ("there is no prayer"), emphasizing the idea that ultimately no external force can make decisions for us. The lines "¡Oh, señor!, No queda otra opción/Y jamás me vuelvo a arrepentir" ("Oh, Lord! There is no other option/And I will never regret my choice") convey a sense of determination and acceptance of the consequences of one's decisions.


The song's message is a powerful one of personal responsibility and self-determination, urging listeners to take ownership of their own lives and choices.
