The Complicated Game of Three: A Love Triangle Unveiled
La Banda Al Rojo Vivo's song "Uno Mas Uno Mas Uno Son Tres" delves into the complexities and emotional turmoil of a love triangle. The repetitive chorus, "Uno mas uno mas uno son tres, yo soy el uno tu la dos y tu marido es el tres," sets the stage for a narrative where the singer finds himself entangled in a relationship with a woman who is already married. This simple arithmetic metaphor underscores the unavoidable reality of their situation: three people are involved, and each has a distinct role in this complicated equation.
The lyrics reveal the singer's awareness of the woman's penchant for playing games and causing harm. Lines like "Ya se que te gusta jugar, ya se que te gusta dañar" suggest that the woman enjoys the thrill and perhaps the power dynamics of this triangular relationship. The singer questions her motives, asking repeatedly, "yo pregunto por que y para que tu sigues jugando a este juego de a 3," indicating his confusion and frustration over why she continues to engage in this deceitful behavior.
As the song progresses, the singer's disillusionment becomes more apparent. He confronts the woman, stating, "Pensaste que te iba a aseptar tu juego lleno de maldad," which translates to "You thought I would accept your game full of evil." This line highlights his realization that he cannot condone or participate in this morally ambiguous situation any longer. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the inescapable nature of their predicament, emphasizing that no matter how they try to rationalize or justify their actions, the reality remains that three people are involved, and someone is bound to get hurt.
