Solitario
La Portuaria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Solitario ya estoy
Solo ya puedo estar,
Por la ruta yo ya puedo caminar
En lugares extraños me puedo hallar
Uooo.
Oooo!
Hasta encontrarte
No pararé
Afuera,
Un disparo sonó
Hay un grito en el cielo
Una grieta
Y una flor...
The lyrics to La Portuaria's song Solitario speak of the ability to be alone and comfortable with oneself. The singer declares that they are now able to be alone and walk down any path they choose, at ease with being alone. They can even find themselves in strange places. The refrain "Uooo" seems to signify a feeling of freedom and independence. The subsequent "Oooo!" could be interpreted as a declaration of love, with the singer claiming they can now love and search until they find what they're looking for, without stopping.
The second verse of the song takes a darker turn. Suddenly, a shot rings out and there is a scream in the sky. There is a crack and a flower. This sudden shift creates a sense of unease, with an unknown danger lurking nearby. The flower, however, could symbolize hope and beauty emerging from something tragic. Overall, the lyrics of Solitario seem to speak of the ability to find independence and strength within oneself, even in the midst of danger and uncertainty.
