Partir de Cero
Los Tres Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cuando has esperado por años
Y nadie ha llegado
Cuando te has vendido por siglos
Y nadie ha comprado
Cuando te han regalado
Vano, de nuevo
De viejo & de enano
¿Te sientes feliz?

Cuando firmaste al cielo creyendo
y no viste los clavos de acero
Te destrozaron la cara
Y después te humillaron
Como si nada
Y te cegó el cielo y como Jesús




No viste los clavos de acero
¿Te sientes feliz?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Los Tres's song "Partir de Cero" can be interpreted as a reflection on the struggles and disappointments that come with striving for success and happiness. The opening lines ask if one feels happy after waiting for years for someone who never arrives, selling oneself for centuries without any buyers, or receiving meaningless gifts as a result of growing old or being small. These scenarios highlight the feelings of longing and desperation that can arise when one feels stuck in life and unable to achieve their desired goals.


The next verse references a belief in heaven, but suggests that this faith was shattered by the reality of life's cruelty. The singer's face was destroyed and they were humiliated, as if their past belief in something greater was inconsequential. The image of not seeing the steel nails that inflict pain is a reference to Jesus on the cross, and it underscores the idea that there are times in life when we do not anticipate or see the hardships we will face. Ultimately, the song emphasizes the importance of starting from scratch and building a new foundation in order to reach true happiness and fulfillment.
