El telefono
Los Tres Caballeros Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

telefono no se oye tu llamado
desde hace mucho tiempo enmudeciste
ya tu ring ring en mi alma no se escucha
para mi amor por siempre ensombreciste
quiero comunicarme a tu pasado
para hacer revivir mis iluciones
pero siempre te encuentro descolgado
no quieres ya saber de mis pasiones
telefono percibo tu llamado
estare delirando en mi agonia
o sera que mi amor a regresado
a dar inspiracion al alma mia
descuelgo la bocina emocionado
habia esperando este momento




pero el numero estaba equivocado
fue un espejismo cruel del pensamiento

Overall Meaning

In "El Telefono," Los Tres Caballeros sing about the frustration and heartache of a failed relationship. The lyrics describe attempts to reach out to a past lover who seems to have disappeared, as the phone no longer rings or is answered. The singer longs to communicate with their former partner in order to revive their hopes and dreams, but is met with disconnection and rejection. However, there is a glimmer of hope when the phone rings and the singer is filled with excitement, believing that their love has returned to inspire them once again. Unfortunately, this hope is quickly dashed as they discover that the number was wrong, and their moment of elation was merely a cruel illusion.


At its core, "El Telefono" is a song about the pain of lost love and the difficulty of moving on from a past relationship. The lyrics are full of ache and longing, as the singer desperately seeks a connection that has been severed. The use of the phone as a metaphor for communication and connection is particularly powerful, as it is a tool that is essential to everyday life, but can also be a source of anxiety and loneliness when it goes unanswered. Overall, the song is a poignant reminder of the trials and tribulations of love, and the universal experience of heartbreak.

Un capitulo del Libro que el destino me abrio para llenar con mi vida, estaras siempre Tú Fabiola. Solo recuerdo verte partir aquella mañana, sin saber o imaginar, que seria la ultima vez que habria de verte. Desde entonces te espero en mis recuerdos. Aunque estes a unos cuantos pasos de mi💔
