Una y Otra Vez
Nella Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vestir todo el mar de amapolas
Habríamos imaginado
Un jardín sobre las olas
Habríamos llorado
Como lloran los valientes
Habríamos volado
A los rincones de nuestra mente
Habríamos mirado
La curva infinita del agua
Habríamos olvidado que
También llueve en la playa
Habríamos creado
Un mundo que ahora se rompe
Habríamos amado
Como solo se aman los pobres
En medio de la lluvia
Abrí mi ventana
Una y otra vez
Grité tu nombre
Una y otra vez yo te llamaba
Una y otra vez y otra vez
Y otra vez nadie responde
Habríamos quedado
En que tu cantas y yo te bailo
Habríamos hablado
Que yo voy de hada y tu de mago
Habríamos contado
Con que saldríamos ilesos
Habríamos pactado
Un silencio antes de cada beso
Habríamos brindado
Con zumo de fruta prohibida
Habríamos olvidado
La noche anterior a cada día
Habríamos nadado
En el río rojo del pecado
Habríamos dormido
Entre espigas de trigo dorado
The lyrics of Nella's song Una y Otra Vez explore the theme of missed opportunities and lost love. The singer imagines all the things that she and her lover could have done together if they had remained together, from creating a world that now seems to be breaking apart, to flying to the corners of their minds. The lyrics are filled with vivid imagery and metaphors that are both nostalgic and bittersweet.
The singer also expresses her yearning for her lost lover. She repeatedly calls out his name through the rain, hoping that he will hear her and respond. The repetition of the phrase "Una y Otra Vez" emphasizes the singer's desperation and her inability to let go of her feelings for her lover.
The lyrics are also poignant because they showcase the naivety of young love. The singer and her lover imagined a world where they could stay together forever, but their dreams were shattered when reality set in. The lyrics are a reminder that love is often fleeting and unpredictable, and that sometimes even the best-laid plans can fall apart.
