Pedro Aznar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
El amor si no es eterno no vale
Para alimentarlo hay que saber inventar
Y mentirse sólo lo indispensable
Siempre hay una forma de retroceder
Convencido de que es más conveniente
Meterse en una jaula y ya no salir
Elegir
Lo que sea, pero elegir
Lo que quieras, pero elegir
Tu sexo, tu idioma, tu color
No dejes que otros lo hagan por vos
A sufrir, a sufrir, que el dolor es virtud
Después de todo es más difícil ser libre
El que arriesga poco, poco puede esperar
Que ni sueñe que su parche vibre
Aceptar el reto, seguir la señal
Enfrentarse a los posibles abismos
Abrir todas las puertas, desmontar la razón
Apagar los juicios sobre uno mismo
Elegir
Lo que sea, pero elegir
Lo que quieras, pero elegir
Tu sexo, tu idioma, tu color
No dejes que otros lo hagan por vos
The lyrics to Pedro Aznar's "No dejes que otros lo hagan por vos" ("Don't Let Others Do It for You") are about the importance of individuality and choosing one's own path in life. The song emphasizes the value of continuity and how love is only worthwhile if it lasts forever, but it also acknowledges the need to be resourceful and even dishonest at times to maintain a relationship. The line "There is always a way to step back, convinced that it is more convenient to get into a cage and never leave" reflects the idea of sacrificing freedom for the sake of conformity, which is seen as something that "decent" people do.
However, the chorus of the song encourages the listener to make their own choices in life and not let others do it for them, whether it's choosing their gender, language or skin color. The verses highlight the risks and challenges that come with choosing one's own path and the pain that may come with it, but ultimately the song celebrates the importance of being true to oneself.
Overall, "No dejes que otros lo hagan por vos" is a powerful reminder of the significance of individuality, the power of choice and the risks that come with living life on one's own terms.
