Un Mundo Raro
Rocío Dúrcal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
y te ofrezcan sol y cielo entero
si te acuerdas de mi no me menciones
por que vas a sentir amor del bueno
Y si quieren saber de tu pasado
es preciso decir una mentira
di que bienes de alla de un mundo raro
y que nunca has amado
Por que yo a donde voy hablare de tu amor
como un sueño dorado y olvidando el rencor
no dire que tu adios me volvio desgraciado
Y si quieren saber de mi pasado
es preciso decir otra mentira
le dire que llegue de un mundo raro
que no se del dolor que triunfe en el amor
y que nunca he llorado
Por que yo a donde voy hablare de tu amor
como un sueño dorado y olvidando el rencor
no dire que tu adios me volvio desgraciado
Y si quieren saber de mi pasado
es preciso decir otra mentira
le dire que llegue de un mundo raro
que no se del dolor que triunfe en el amor
y que nunca he llorado
In "Un Mundo Raro," Rocío Dúrcal sings about heartbreak, the pain of letting go of a relationship, and the lengths to which we will go to protect ourselves from further emotional pain. The singer warns their former lover not to mention them should they find themselves in a new relationship, because hearing about it would be too painful. They encourage their lover to instead claim they're from a "world of strange things" where love and tears don't exist.
The singer also acknowledges that they too will need to create a false narrative to avoid reliving their own heartbreak. They will pretend to come from this same world, a place where pain and love don't coexist. They refuse to tell others that their lover's departure left them miserable.
Overall, "Un Mundo Raro" is a poignant song that suggests that our only defense against the pain of love is to convince ourselves and others that we come from a place where it doesn't exist. It is a song that speaks to the universal human experiences of heartbreak and protectiveness of oneself.
