Por Ejemplo
Horacio Palencia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hay llamadas que nunca debí de contestar
Por ejemplo, cuando me llamaste la atención
Hay palabras que hubiera querido no creer
Por ejemplo, cuando me dijiste "Yo te quiero bien"

Ahora entiendo que no tenía que fijarme en ti
Porque de haber sido así
Nada me estaría doliendo

Por ejemplo, si no te hubiera besado
No te extrañaría mi boca
Hoy la historia fuera otra
No anduviera aquí tomando
Para ver si así me olvido
De que jugaste conmigo
Me agarraste distraído
No medí las consecuencias cuando el corazón te di

Hay personas que ya no quisiera ver
Como por ejemplo a ti

ay
eres el claro ejemplo de lo que no quería para mi vida
y aquí me tienes, chiquitita

Por ejemplo, si no te hubiera besado
No te extrañaría mi boca
Hoy la historia fuera otra
No anduviera aquí tomando
Para ver si así me olvido
De que jugaste conmigo
Me agarraste distraído
No medí las consecuencias cuando el corazón te di





Hay personas que ya no quisiera ver
Como por ejemplo a ti

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song "Por Ejemplo" by Horacio Palencia. The song reflects on the regretful decisions and consequences caused by a past relationship. In the first verse, the singer acknowledges that there were phone calls they should not have answered. They mention that the person, likely their ex-partner, caught their attention with their words, saying "I love you well." The singer reflects on how they wish they hadn't believed those words.


The second verse reveals the realization that they should not have paid attention to this person or allowed themselves to be affected by them. They understand that if they hadn't kissed them, they wouldn't long for the feeling of their lips. The phrase "Hoy la historia fuera otra" (Today the story would be different) suggests that the singer's life would have taken a different trajectory if they hadn't gotten involved with this person. They express their frustration and attempt to forget the pain inflicted by drinking alcohol, which indicates their desire to move on from the betrayal.


The bridge emphasizes the person's negative impact on the singer's life. The line "eres el claro ejemplo de lo que no quería para mi vida" (you are the clear example of what I didn't want in my life) explicitly states the disappointment and frustration the singer feels towards this person. Despite their initial wishes, the singer finds themselves in a situation they never wanted to be in.


The final chorus repeats the idea that if the singer hadn't kissed this person, they wouldn't miss their presence. The lyrics also express the desire to forget and move on. The line "Hay personas que ya no quisiera ver, como por ejemplo a ti" (There are people I no longer want to see, like you) represents the singer's decision to cut ties with the person who caused pain and regret in their life. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of reflection, regret, and the resolution to move on from a negative relationship.
