Una Y Mil Veces

Los Secretos' song 'Una Y Mil Veces' delves into the profound and often painful experience of lost love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that once brought immense joy but has since dissolved, leaving the narrator in a state of longing and reflection. The opening lines, 'Soy ocaso luz de luna quema hielo de tu piel,' use poetic imagery to describe the intense and conflicting emotions that come with love and loss. The narrator reminisces about the tender moments shared, which are now just memories that haunt him.

The recurring phrase 'Una y mil veces' emphasizes the relentless nature of the narrator's search for his lost love. This repetition underscores the idea that the search is not just a one-time effort but a continuous, almost obsessive quest. The lines 'Tus miradas fueron tragos dibujándose en mi sed' and 'Tú te fuiste al otro lado sin billete, sin volver' highlight the depth of the emotional connection and the pain of separation. The imagery of eyes as drinks quenching a thirst and the departure without a return ticket evoke a sense of irrevocable loss and yearning.

The song also touches on the theme of acceptance and the realization that what was once cherished is now gone. The line 'Ya he perdido lo adorado ya no hay nada que perder' signifies a moment of resignation, where the narrator acknowledges that he has lost what he once held dear. Despite this, the plea 'Encuéntrame' reveals a lingering hope that perhaps, one day, they might be reunited. The song's melancholic tone and evocative lyrics capture the universal experience of love, loss, and the enduring hope for reconciliation.
