Gol
Julieta Venegas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ni por la razón ni por la fuerza
Saltamos mil inviernos a primaveras
Pasamos del trote a la carrera
No hay tiempo para nada
Cambio y fuera

Despréndete, afírmate
Punto aparte
Lánzate, tírate
Te toca, me toca, fuerte como roca
Explota, me rebota, pasa la pelota

Tiempo muerto, ya no sirve
Trabajo continuo si persiste
Insiste, ya viste, la hiciste
Resiste, todo es posible

Todo es, todo es
Todo es, todo es
Todo es, todo es
Todo es, todo es

Siento que voy a desvanecer
Pero no voy a dejarme vencer

La defensa contraataca
Primer tiempo se levanta
Pásala, quítala
Devuélvela, rebótala
En nuestro equipo reina el caos
Pero somos adelantaos
Desde Tijuana hasta Santiago
Somos uno ¡que chingaos!

Siento que voy a desvanecer
Pero no voy a dejarme vencer

Ni por la razón ni por la fuerza
Saltamos mil inviernos a primaveras
Pasamos del trote a la carrera
No hay tiempo para nada
Cambio y fuera

Tiro de esquina, que buena la pinta
Que linda la visita, gol a la chilenidad
Te toca, me toca, fuerte como roca
Explota, me rebota, pasa la pelota

Todas las ganas puesta en el juego
Cambio de lado, sácate el miedo
Saque lateral, golpe fatal
Falta por penal, a ganar
Golazo frontal
Insiste, ya viste, la hiciste
Resiste, todo es posible

Todo es, todo es
Todo es, todo es
Todo es, todo es
Todo es, todo es

Pásala, quítala
Devuélvela, rebótala
Pásala, quítala
Devuélvela, rebótala
Pásala, quítala
Devuélvela, rebótala
Pásala, quítala
Devuélvela, rebótala

Rebótala, rebótala
Rebótala, rebótala




Rebótala, rebótala
Rebótala, rebótala

Overall Meaning

The song Gol by Julieta Venegas is a high energy, upbeat song about perseverance and determination, using the sport of soccer as a metaphor for life. The opening lines, "Ni por la razón ni por la fuerza / Saltamos mil inviernos a primaveras" translate to "Not by reason nor by force / We jumped a thousand winters to springs." The song then goes on to describe the challenges and triumphs of playing soccer, such as switching from a trot to a run and passing the ball between teammates. The lyrics encourage the listener to push themselves and never give up, even when they feel like they are about to faint.


Throughout the song, Venegas also references different soccer terms and plays, such as "Tiro de esquina" (corner kick) and "Falta por penal" (penalty kick). She also mentions the chaos that can sometimes arise within a team, but emphasizes that ultimately they are all working towards the same goal. The refrain of "Todo es, todo es" (Everything is, everything is) serves as a reminder that life is unpredictable, but with hard work and determination, anything is possible.


One interesting aspect of the song is that it was originally recorded as a musical collaboration between several Latin American artists for the soundtrack of the documentary film "Morir de pie" about Mexican boxer Julio César Chávez. However, Julieta Venegas re-recorded it as a solo artist for her album "Otra Cosa" in 2010. The song was also used in the video game FIFA 11 and was featured on the soundtrack of the Mexican TV series "Club de Cuervos".
