Description
A song that sounds like a conversation with the mirror after a particularly strange Tuesday. When love turned out to be “not the one” again, work went down the drain, and the lottery ticket - well, of course - had the wrong numbers. And so it seems like nothing is going the way you want it to, but for some reason, it's just the way it should be. This is a track about experience, a track about reconciliation: with yourself, with your plans, with unjustified expectations and horoscopes that never come true (and maybe that's for the best). A little laughter, a little philosophy, and a pinch of wisdom that is finally beginning to emerge - without panic, but with character.
Lyrics and translation
Original
El amor que nunca fue
La chamba que se perdió
Y yo preguntándome entre otras cosas
Ay, por qué siempre yo
Que he tenido mala suerte
Y yo por más que lo intente
Me compro la lotería
Y siempre cae el número siguiente
Yo, siempre tan preocupada
Desvelada y desanimada
Buscando siempre salida
En el horóscopo y el tarot
No vi nunca la respuesta
Y sé que a todos nos cuesta
Entender que si no llega
Es porque nunca nos perteneció
Lo que no me sirve
Ay, que no me estorbe
Señor bendito
Que no me falte ni que me sobre
Lo que no me sume
Que tampoco reste
La sabiduría que pedí un día
Que se manifieste
No puede ser que yo, oh oh
No lo entienda, no, oh oh
No es de matemática
Pero sí es de lógica
Nadie me explicó, oh oh
No es un mandamiento, oh oh
Si lo hubiera sido
Lo habría aprendido
Y no estaría sufriendo
Tras varias desilusiones
Vinieron muchos amores
El jefe me despidió
Y eso lo volví una canción
Pa’ qué las preocupaciones
Si todas las decisiones
Son sorpresas de la vida
Y cada vez llega algo mejor
English translation
The love that never was
The job that was lost
And I asking myself, among other things
Ay, why always me
Who has had bad luck
And no matter how much I try
I buy the lottery ticket
And the next number always wins
I, always so worried
Sleepless and discouraged
Always looking for a way out
In the horoscope and tarot
I never saw the answer
And I know it's hard for all of us
To understand that if it doesn't arrive
It's because it never belonged to us
What doesn't work for me
Ay, may it not hinder me
Blessed Lord
May I not have too little nor too much
What doesn't add to me
May it also not subtract
The wisdom I asked for one day
May it manifest
It can't be that I, oh oh
Don't understand it, no, oh oh
It's not mathematics
But it is logic
Nobody explained it to me, oh oh
It's not a commandment, oh oh
If it had been
I would have learned it
And I wouldn't be suffering
After several disappointments
Many loves came
The boss fired me
And I turned that into a song
Why worry
If all decisions
Are life's surprises
And something better always arrives
