El Reloj
Los Tres Ases Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Por que voy a enloquecer
Ella se irá para siempre
Cuando amanezca otra vez.
Nomás no queda esta noche
Para vivir nuestro amor
Y tu tic tac me recuerda
¡Reloj, detén tu camino!
Porque mi vida se apaga,
Ella es la estrella que alumbra mi ser,
Yo sin su amor no soy nada.
Detén el tiempo en tus manos,
Haz esta noche perpetua
Para que nunca se vaya de mí
Para que nunca amanezca.
¡Reloj, detén tu camino!
Porque mi vida se apaga,
Ella es la estrella que alumbra mi ser,
Yo sin su amor no soy nada.
Detén el tiempo en tus manos,
Haz esta noche perpetua
Para que nunca se vaya de mí
Para que nunca amanezca.
Para que nunca amanezca.
The song "El Reloj" by Los Tres Ases is a touching and mournful ballad about the singer's plea to stop time from moving forward. The repetition of the phrase "Reloj, no marques las horas" creates a sense of urgency and desperation in the singer's voice, as he begs the clock to cease ticking so that he can hold onto the night and the love he shares with his partner. The lyrics suggest that the singer is aware of the fleeting nature of time and that he is aware that his lover will soon leave him. The ticking of the clock serves as a reminder of his impending loneliness and suffering.
The line "Ella es la estrella que alumbra mi ser" (She is the star that illuminates my being) conveys the passion and depth of the singer's love. He implies that his love for his partner is so great that she is the light within him that gives him purpose and meaning. The singer's dependence on his lover is clear when he declares, "Yo sin su amor no soy nada" (Without her love, I am nothing). The separation from his lover would result in a loss of identity and purpose.
Overall, "El Reloj" is a moving song that captures the pain and desperation of lost love, with the metaphor of a ticking clock emphasizing that time cannot be stopped, but the memories of the moments we cherish in life can be held onto forever.
