Solo
Victor Jara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Amor que llevo conmigo
Enredado en los recuerdos
Busco un amor olvidado
Y voy muriendo mi vida
Como el árbol del pantano
Con el alba en la mirada
Dijiste adiós y te fuiste
Y se nublaron mis ojos
Sin dejarme ver los tuyos
Busco un amor en la sombra
Amor que vivió esa noche
La vida de las estrellas
Busco un amor olvidado
Y voy muriendo mi vida
Como el árbol del pantano
Y estoy solo
Con el alba en la mirada
Dijiste adiós y te fuiste
Y se nublaron mis ojos
Sin dejarme ver los tuyos
The lyrics of Victor Jara's song "Solo" talks about the search for a lost love that the singer carries with him, tangled in his memories. He describes the pain of losing someone important and the loneliness that comes with it. He compares his life to a tree in a swamp, slowly dying. The singer also reflects upon a goodbye he had with his love, where he was unable to see her eyes because his own had clouded with tears.
As the song continues, he searches for this lost love in the shadows, hoping to find the same love that was once alive, illuminated by the stars. The singer again compares his life to that of a dying tree in a swamp. The song ends with him still alone, looking towards the dawn with tears in his eyes and the memory of his lost love on his mind.
