Los Piojos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tenés que olvidar, nena, no podés
Era un escritor, se la daba de,
Era un usador de tu buena fe
Y justo pensé, pensé por pensar,
Yo que estaba acá,
Nena, donde estés
Sexy overol
En el restaurant,
Pero él no te espera,
Él no te espera, y no olvidas
Y ves, que esta tristeza no puede ser
Que algo mejor tiene que haber
Algo por donde salir a andar
Dale, Dolores no llores,
Dale, Dolores no llores,
Dale, Dolores no llores
Servido va tu amor
Uoh uoh uoh servido va tu amor
Uoh uoh uoh servido va tu amor
Uoh uoh uoh servido va tu amor
Si viene y entra por esa puerta
Ay, yo me muero
Fantasma o no, vos en él y él en vos
Y brillo loco en la bandeja
Están sus ojos negros,
Pero ya basta, ya basta
Sabemos que terminó
Dale, Dolores no llores,
Dale, Dolores no llores,
Dale, Dolores no llores
Todo pasa
Todo pasa
Todo pasa
Todo pasa
The lyrics to Los Piojos's "Todo Pasa" describe a situation in a gray city where a woman is trying to forget about a man who used her good faith. He was a writer who gave himself too much credit and did not really wait for her at a restaurant where they were supposed to meet. The singer of the lyrics wonders how the woman is doing and sees that she cannot continue to feel this sadness, there must be something better out there to find. The chorus seems to be a way of consoling her, telling her not to cry and that everything will pass.
The second verse speaks of the man in question potentially showing up causing a stir in the singer, even though they both know it's over. The closure of the song repeats the chorus, emphasizing the cyclical nature of life and that all things come to pass, even the pain and heartbreak.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of resignation, acceptance and sadness that comes with the end of a relationship. The woman is trying to move on while the man seems to be playing games and not taking the situation seriously.
