Victor Jara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Para que la quiero yo,
Gócela quien la merece
Que para mí se acabó.
Otro se halla en el jardín
Gozando la misma flor
Como yo fui el primero
Anda y dícele a tu amante
Dícele que digo yo
Que la flor que esta gozando
Primero la gocé yo.
The lyrics to Victor Jara's "La Flor Que Anda De Mano En Mano" speak of a flower that is passed from hand to hand. The singer questions the purpose of having the flower, stating that whoever deserves it should enjoy it because it's done for him. He goes on to explain that although someone else may have the same flower in their garden, he no longer feels any pain because he was the first to enjoy it. In the final verse, the singer tells someone to relay a message to their lover that the flower they are currently enjoying was first enjoyed by the singer.
Through the lyrics, Jara emphasizes the idea that experience is fleeting, and one should not hold onto things that are meant to be shared. The flower is a representation of experience, and whoever is meant to enjoy it should be allowed to do so. The singer holds no resentment towards those who come after him, but rather recognizes that he had his own turn and is content with that.
Ultimately, "La Flor Que Anda De Mano En Mano" is a song that encourages the appreciation of life's experiences and the importance of sharing them with others. The lyrics remind listeners that nothing in life is truly owned, and it's all about being present in the moment and enjoying what you have while you have it.

Por si acaso esta canción no es de Victor para los alarmados. Es una recopilación de Margot Loyola en los campos de Niblinto, Ñuble, de una anciana de 80 años en 1952.
