Verse 1

I see you less than I would like

I think of you more than I should

I said that I already forgot you

But even I don't believe that lie

I spend days looking at the ceiling

I dissolve among your illusions

And from all that I could be

I decided to be yours

Chorus 1

Tell me why, if we were meant for each other

How do you plan to forget the love of your life?

We spend hours talking without having to say anything

I believe that we were together in a past life

If we fell asleep, we had each other in our dreams

And for the future we both already had the design made

Or: And we already had our future planned out

I want to cut my hands even if I could die

Because I hate them

Because they let you go

Verse 2

And if I pass through your thoughts

Even if it's once a year

Don't hesitate to hug me, because I miss you

Chorus 2

Tell me why, if we were meant for each other

How do you plan to forget the love of your life?

We spend hours talking without having to say anything

And I believe that we were together in a past life

If we fell asleep, we had each other in our dreams

And for the future we both already had the design made

I want to cut my hands even if I could die

Because I hate them

Because they let you go

Outro 1

Hands, why do I want them? If I can't touch you

Give me your hand, darling, because your memory is going to kill me

Hands, why do I want them? If I can't touch you

From so much touching you, my hands already have muscle memory

Outro 2

Hands, why do I want them? If I can't touch you

If I don't touch you, I go crazy and one night of madness won't be enough

Hands, why do I want them? If I can't touch you

If my hands had eyes, they wouldn't stop crying

My hands are not useful to me anymore

Why do I want them? I don't want them anymore

SONG MEANING

Una Vida Pasada pulses with vibrant salsa energy while telling a story of love that feels timeless. Camilo and Carin León sing from the perspective of someone who thought they had moved on, only to admit that their heart and mind still orbit an unforgettable partner. Memories flood every idle moment: staring at the ceiling, slipping into daydreams, and remembering how effortlessly they once communicated without words. The singers paint their romance as so perfect that it must have started in another life, making the present separation feel almost unnatural.

A striking image runs through the lyrics: the narrator’s own hands become the villains. He blames them for letting his lover go, even threatening to cut them off because they can no longer touch what they crave. This vivid metaphor captures the depth of regret and longing, contrasting sharply with the song’s upbeat percussion and brass. Una Vida Pasada invites listeners to dance while reflecting on the bittersweet truth that some connections seem written in the stars, and losing them hurts down to the fingertips.
