Una en un Millón
Zorro Viejo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo era como un trapecista sin la red.
No cumplí jamás lo que te prometía
Y ahora estoy entre la espada y la pared.
Pero tengo un corazón que aún respira
Y, aunque vi las hojas de tu amor caer,
Aún me queda la esperanza todavía
Una en un millón...
¡Si supieras cuánto te amo todavía!
Una en un millón...
Nadie sabe lo que pierde hasta ese día,
Que se encuentra frente a frente con la vida
Sin tener una razón para vivir.
– O –
Y así como un carrusel que gira y gira,
Tu recuerdo vuelve una y otra vez.
Y ese tonto que de todo se reía,
Hoy no tiene más remedio que aprender.
Una en un millón...
¡Si supieras cuánto te amo todavía!
Una en un millón...
Nadie sabe lo que pierde hasta ese día,
Que se encuentra frente a frente con la vida
Sin tener una razón para vivir.
– O –
Una en un millón...
Nadie sabe lo que pierde hasta ese día,
Que se encuentra frente a frente con la vida
//sin tener una razón para vivir.//
The lyrics of Zorro Viejo's song "Una En Un Millon" express the regret and sorrow of someone who realizes that they have lost the love of their life due to their own mistakes and shortcomings. The opening lines convey a sense of ignorance and recklessness, as the singer admits that they did not know what they were doing and were essentially living without a safety net. They acknowledge that they failed to keep their promises and are now trapped between difficult choices. Despite this, they reveal that they still have a beating heart and hope that their lost love might return to them. The chorus repeats the phrase "Una en un millón" which means "one in a million," representing how unique and special this person is to them. They express the depth of their love and remorse, recognizing that sometimes we do not realize the value of something until it's gone.
The following lines continue to convey the emotional turmoil the singer is undergoing. “Tu recuerdo vuelve una y otra vez” meaning ”Your memory returns again and again,” indicates that the memory of their lost love is inescapable and haunts them continually. The lyrics suggest that the person singing used to be carefree and laughed at everything, but now they are forced to face the consequences of their actions and take responsibility for their mistakes. They reiterate how much they still love their lost love, and the chorus is repeated once more, emphasizing the message that often we don't realize what we have until it's gone. The song ends with the same lines as the previous verse, emphasizing that being faced with life without a reason to live is a sad and lonely existence.
