LA RUTA DESAPARECIDA
Juan Bautista Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y que el mundo les sea distinto
Que el destino los una por siempre
Y se olviden que ya yo no existo
Por la ruta desaparecida
Hoy tendré que volver a cruzar
Y aunque se haga pedazo mi vida
Algún día la tendré que olvidar
Si algún día al cruzar el camino
De repente tu ves un entierro
No lo pienses que allí va tendido
Juan Bautista que un día fue tu dueño
(Guitarra)
Si algún día tu vas a la iglesia
Donde el cura enlazó nuestra vida
Tú le reza un poquito a mi alma
Y le pone una vela encendida
Si al llegar llorando a tu casa
Te preguntan que por qué tu llorabas
Solo diles que fuiste a la iglesia
A desahogar un poquito tu alma
These lyrics are about letting go and moving on when a relationship ends. The singer wishes for the individuals who are now together to be happy and have a different life, as he accepts that he no longer exists in their world. However, he is aware that he will have to cross the forgotten paths of his old life and face the memories of his past love, which will hurt him deeply. Even though it will shatter his life, he knows that someday he will have to forget and move on.
In the second verse, the singer warns his former lover that if she ever comes across a funeral procession, she should not think twice but assume that it is him, Juan Bautista, her former lover, who died. He remembers that he was once her owner and she was his, implying that they had a close and intense relationship. The final lines suggest that if she ever cries and someone asks why, she should not reveal the truth, but just say that she went to church to vent and relieve the pain in her soul.
Overall, the song speaks of acceptance, letting go of the past, and moving towards the future. It shows the pain and emotions that people go through when trying to forget a significant other.
