Kenia Os – Una y Otra Vez (English Translation) Lyrics

Intro
I was the problem, but you were too.
Nothing that can save us now.
So alike and so different at the same time.
Nothing that can save us.
And even though it hurts me,
The pain goes away when I’m thinking of you.

Chorus
I have an emptiness that I never closed.
It’s cold here and I don’t really know why.
I don’t forget you, I fall into this
Again and again, and again, and again.
I have an emptiness that I never closed.
It’s cold here and I don’t really know why.
I don’t forget you, I fall into this
Again and again, and again, and again.

Verse
No wonder my heart now walks with caution.
I gave it to you and you neglected it.
I told you, with time I was going to push you aside.
I told you, but it was a lie.
Days go by, months go by.
Summer comes, another one kisses me.
I have a good time, but I don’t feel anything.

Chorus
I have an emptiness that I never closed.
It’s cold here and I don’t really know why.
I don’t forget you, I fall into this
Again and again, and again, and again.
I have an emptiness that I never closed.
It’s cold here and I don’t really know why.
I don’t forget you, I fall into this
Again and again, and again, and again.

Bridge
It does me so much good, but it’s wrong.
I know that life goes on the same if you’re not here.

Final Chorus & Outro
I have an emptiness that I never closed…
(No wonder my heart now walks with caution)
It’s cold here and I don’t really know why…
(I gave it to you)
I don’t forget you, I fall into this…
(I told you, with time I was going to push you aside)
Again and again, and again, and again.

Lyrics Meaning

“Una y Otra Vez” captures the emotional stagnation after a toxic relationship where both parties were at fault. The core themes are:

• The Cycle of Pain: The title and constant repetition of “again and again” highlight a trapped feeling—the singer is aware of her destructive thought patterns but can’t break free from mentally revisiting the past.

• Emotional Numbness: Lines like “It’s cold here” and “I have a good time, but I don’t feel anything” describe a void left by the relationship. New experiences fail to generate warmth or genuine emotion, emphasizing how the past still dominates her inner world.

• Self-Awareness & Contradiction: The song is filled with painful honesty. She admits her own blame (“I was the problem“), her lies about moving on (“but it was a lie“), and the confusing fact that thoughts of her ex provide a twisted comfort (“The pain goes away when I’m thinking of you“).

In essence, it’s not a song about missing love, but about being unable to escape its aftermath, even when you logically know you should. The mood is melancholic, self-reflective, and achingly relatable for anyone who has felt stuck in the echo of a past relationship.
