Sola En Los Bares
Man Ray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Está mareada, sus cuerpo quiere descansar
Es madrugadas.
Sola en las calles, con su vestido azul francés
No siente nada.

No, no puedo creer, que estaba en ese lugar,
Y que antes de ayer, fumando la vi pasar.
Duerme asustada, huele el perfume de mujer
Sobre la cama.
Sola en los bares, un viejo amigo y un jerez
A sus espaldas.

No, no puedo creer, que vuelva al mismo lugar
Cómo si alguna vez, un príncipe la fuera a buscar
Y a rescatar.

Esta mañana, su madre la fue a despertar,
No reaccionaba.
Sola en los bares, no era hombre ni mujer,
Se transformaba.





No, no puedo creer, que estaba en ese lugar,
Y que antes de ayer, fumando la vi pasar.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Sola En Los Bares" by Man Ray describe a woman who is lost and alone. She is intoxicated and wants to rest her body, but it's still early in the morning and she's wandering the streets in her French blue dress, feeling nothing. The singer cannot believe that he saw her at this place before and saw her smoking two days ago.


The woman sleeps in fear, smelling the perfume of another woman on her bed, and she drinks sherry with an old friend at the bar, trying to find some solace. The singer cannot believe that she has returned to the same place, hoping that a prince will one day come to seek and rescue her.


Finally, the woman's mother comes to wake her up, but she doesn't respond. The woman is neither male nor female and transforms into someone else while alone in the bars, searching for something she can't find. The singer cannot believe he saw her at that same place just two days ago, lost and smoking.


Overall, the song portrays a woman who is searching for something in all the wrong places, and she is struggling to find her true identity. She is lost and alone, but she still hopes that someday, someone will come to find her, which is a common theme in many songs and stories.
