Una Lagrima, Un Suspiro

Tru-La-La's song 'Una Lagrima, Un Suspiro' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of lost love and regret. The lyrics recount a poignant moment when the narrator took their lover home for the last time. This moment is etched in their memory, marked by a tear in the lover's eye and a kiss that carried the weight of finality. The repetition of 'Fue Esa Vez' (It was that time) emphasizes the significance of this moment, highlighting how it has lingered in the narrator's mind over time.

The song's chorus, 'Y Fue Esa Lagrima Un Suspiro, Y Mis Palabras Fueron Cuchillos,' translates to 'And that tear was a sigh, and my words were knives.' This metaphor vividly captures the pain inflicted by the narrator's words, which cut deep like knives. The tear symbolizes a sigh of sorrow, a silent expression of the lover's heartbreak. The narrator's realization of the 'gran amor de aquella mujer' (the great love of that woman) comes too late, adding to the sense of regret and missed opportunity.

The lyrics also touch on the theme of life's singular love, with the narrator acknowledging that 'en la vida solo se enamora, una vez, solo una vez' (in life, one only falls in love once, only once). This line underscores the depth of the narrator's regret, as they recognize that they have lost their one true love. The song is a melancholic reflection on the consequences of their actions and the emptiness that follows. Tru-La-La's emotive delivery and the poignant lyrics combine to create a powerful narrative of love, loss, and the enduring impact of past decisions.
