Un día fui a pasear y no volví

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lo que me dicen en mi casa
En la once, en la mesa
Me da vuelta la cabeza

Un día fui a pasear y no volví
Me perdí en la esquina

Ahh... que vamos a hacer
Cada vez que algo salga mal
Ahhh... y que vas a hacer
Me vas a decir que te asusta una noche sin calor!!!

Lo que me dicen en mi cama
No lo cuento, no lo cuento....

Ahhh... un fui a pasear y no volví
Me perdí en la esquina

Ahh... que vamos a hacer
Cada vez que algo salga mal




Ahhh... y que vas a hacer
Me vas a decir que te asusta una noche sin calor!!!

Overall Meaning

Teleradio Donoso's song "Un día fui a pasear y no volví" combines upbeat rhythms with lyrics that speak to the fleeting and ephemeral nature of life. The song begins with the singer expressing how the conversations they hear around them, whether at home or at gatherings, can spin their head around with confusion. This sense of disorientation continues as they recount a time when they went out for a walk but lost their way on a street corner, disappearing without a trace. The chorus speaks to a sense of helplessness in the face of unforeseen events and asks what one can do when things go wrong. The final verse refers to things heard in the bedroom, but the singer chooses to keep this to themselves.


The lyrics seem to be a reflection on the unpredictable nature of life and the transient quality of experiences. Just as the singer gets lost on a simple stroll, we can find ourselves lost in larger currents beyond our control. Despite the uncertainty that surrounds us, the song encourages listeners to push through and find ways to move forward. The chorus becomes a kind of call and response, as if the singer is seeking comfort and assurance from someone else - but ultimately, it's up to each person to navigate their own way forward.
