Zayra Alvarez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
tú y yo en la ruta ingenua donde te encontré.
Bien fue nuestra historia para los amigos
cuando no había un quién, un dónde, ni un por qué.
Oh. Mira que bien te vez.
Y no es para mi. Por qué yo no soy quien te tiene?
cuando te me mezclabas como loco en otra piel.
Ya vez, yo sólo luchaba contra el viento
No había ya nada que hacer.
Y hoy no pienso que todo se hechó a perder,
porque ante el dolor desperté más fuerte.
Oh, mira que bien te vez.
Y no es para mi, la suerte me fue cuel.
Quién guarda hoy todo lo que dejé ayer?
Se vé mucho mejor de lo que fue.
Aunque me fue imposible atarte a mi querer,
no me veas como si fuera un extraño.
Verte me recuerda cómo me dolió perder.
Es volver a revivir tu desengaño.
Oh, mira que bien te vez.
Y no es para mi, la suerte me fue cruel.
Quién guarda hoy todo lo que dejé ayer?
Se vé mucho mejor de lo que fue.
Sólo se me olvida como.

Zayra Alvarez's song "Solo" appears to be about a past relationship that the singer is reflecting on. The beginning of the song indicates that the details of how the relationship started have been forgotten. The singer remembers a time when things were simpler, before there were any concerns or questions. The chorus of the song seems to express the idea that the person the singer once loved is now with someone else, and it is painful to see them happy with someone else. The singer wishes they could have been the one to make the person in question happy. However, the singer ultimately realizes that they have grown stronger because of the pain they have experienced, and they do not regret what has happened.
