No somos de aquí
Julieta Venegas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Es porque la viví... oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Que no se te vaya a olvidar
Nosotros no somos de aquí
Venimos de otro lugar
Muy diferente
Y del acuerdo de la vida
Si la vida se termina
Es porque ya la viví
Es porque ya la viví... oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Que no se te vaya a olvidar
Nosotros no somos de aquí
Nosotros no somos de aquí
The lyrics of the song "No somos de aquí" by Julieta Venegas have a deep meaning. The opening line, "Es porque ya la viví" (It's because I already lived it), expresses the idea that our experiences shape us and make us unique. The following lines, "Que no se te vaya a olvidar" (Don't forget it), emphasize the importance of remembering who we are and where we come from.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Nosotros no somos de aquí" (We are not from here) several times, indicating that we are all strangers in this world, trying to find our way. The line "Venimos de otro lugar muy diferente" (We come from a very different place) suggests that we all have our own backstory, our own history, and our own experiences.
The idea of the inevitability of life and death is also present in the lyrics - "Y del acuerdo de la vida, viene a nacer y morir" (And by the agreement of life, we come to be born and to die). Finally, the lyrics suggest that we should appreciate every moment of our lives, because once it's gone, it's gone forever - "Si la vida se termina, es porque ya la viví" (If life ends, it's because I already lived it).
Overall, the song is a reflection on the human condition, our origins, and our mortality. It invites us to embrace our uniqueness, appreciate our experiences, and value each moment of our lives.
