No Hemos Inventado Nada
Victor Manuel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nos amamos con palabras
Que otros se dijeron ya.
No hemos inventado nada
Ni el deseo, ni los celos,
Ni lo que hay que adivinar.
No hemos inventado nada
Son igual que los demás.
No hemos inventado nada
Ni los cuerpos, ni los huesos,
Ni los brazos de abrazar.
Pero a pesar de que no hay invento
Día a día me creces dentro
Día a día, porque te quiero
Siempre estoy atizando el fuego.
No hemos inventado nada,
Ni tu ausencia cuando callas
Ni tú forma de mirar.
No hemos inventado nada.
Me preguntan cómo hacemos,
Nunca sé qué contestar.
The lyrics of Víctor Manuel's song "No Hemos Inventado Nada" express the idea that love is not an original invention, but rather a continuation of what others have already experienced. The phrase "Nos amamos con palabras que otros se dijeron ya" means that the words used to express love have already been said by others. The song goes on to say that love is not an invention, neither are desire, jealousy, or the need to guess what the other person is thinking or feeling. The physical expressions of love such as caresses, kisses, and hugs are also not invented by anyone.
The singer admits that there is no invention behind their love, but still, their love grows stronger every day. The lyrics suggest that love cannot be invented or controlled, and even when the language and expressions of love are not new, the intensity of the love experienced is unique to each relationship. The final lines refer to not only verbal expressions of love but also nonverbal such as the way a person looks or the silence in their absence. The singer acknowledges that despite the lack of invention, people still ask how they do it, and they don't know how to answer.
Overall, the song speaks to the universal experience of love and the idea that while there may not be a new way to express it, each individual relationship is special and unique.
