Uno Mas

Alejandro Fernández's song 'Uno Mas' delves into the bittersweet experience of a fleeting romance. The lyrics reflect a sense of nostalgia and longing for moments shared with a lover, while also acknowledging the transient nature of their relationship. The opening lines, 'Que Dios bendiga las felices horas que pasé contigo,' express a heartfelt blessing for the happy times spent together, suggesting that these moments were cherished and significant to the narrator. However, the secrecy of their affair is emphasized with 'Por donde vaya nuestro secreto guardaré conmigo,' indicating that their love was perhaps forbidden or socially unacceptable.

The song further explores the emotional complexity of being 'uno más'—just one more in a series of lovers. The narrator is painfully aware that their relationship was merely a fleeting adventure for the other person, as highlighted in the lines 'Sé que todo pasó para ti como nueva aventura y que fuí uno más para ti en tu triste locura.' This realization brings a sense of melancholy and resignation, as the narrator understands that they were just a temporary escape in the lover's life, not a lasting commitment.

The final lines, 'Sé que no velverás por amor a entregarme lo tuyo volverás cuando un nuevo dolor haya herido tu orgullo,' underscore the cyclical nature of the lover's behavior. The narrator predicts that the lover will only return when they are hurt again, seeking solace in another temporary relationship. This cyclical pattern of seeking and leaving love highlights the emotional turmoil and instability that can come with such transient connections. Through 'Uno Mas,' Alejandro Fernández captures the essence of fleeting love, the pain of being just another lover, and the inevitable return to solitude.
