Leo
Jero Romero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
sólo una vez quiere volver a tener amantes
y sueño
sólo una vez quiero volver,
sólo una vez quiero volver
a sentirme agraciado con
la mala suerte
Es un poco Leo
y un poco yo.
Sólo una vez quiere volver,
sólo una vez quiere volver a tener amantes
y fiebres.
Sólo una vez quiero volver,
sólo una vez quiero volver
a sentirme desgraciado por
la buena suerte: dicen de ti.
Es un poco Leo y un poco yo,
es un poco quiero y un poco no
es un poco lejos y un poco aquí
es un poco tarde dicen de mí
Hoy sólo ha pensado en círculos:
parece que hay gente contenta de verse.
Otra vez ha visto Vértigo
y no le divierte un final tan corriente.
Decidió intuir cada mañana
por su ropa, por su cara,
qué puede hacer bien y qué maneras
de hacer daño
sin que duela.
The song Leo by Jero Romero is about wanting to experience certain things just once more. The lyrics mention wanting to have lovers and dreams again, and feeling lucky with bad luck only once. The repetition of the phrase "es un poco Leo y un poco yo" (it's a bit of Leo and a bit of me) implies the singer sees himself in the character of Leo, someone who may have made mistakes but still wants to feel alive again.
The second half of the song talks about wanting to feel unlucky with good luck and mentions that people talk about the singer in a negative way. The final verse mentions how the singer spent their day going through the motions of life, observing other people's happiness and watching an old movie, which they find unexciting due to its predictable ending. However, they still try to find small ways to make a positive impact while avoiding causing harm.
Overall, the song seems to be about wanting something different in life, wanting to feel alive again, but also acknowledging past mistakes and possibly gossip from others. It's a combination of nostalgia, regret, and a desire for change.

Today he has only been thinking in circles. It seems that people are happy to see each other. He watched Vertigo again and was not amused by the common ending. He decided to intuit every morning, through his clothes, through his face, what he can do well and what ways to hurt without pain.
