Primer Amor Meaning & Lyrics (Malú)
The narrator mentions a ‘favorite doll,’ symbolizing a cherished part of herself she once neglected. She sings, ‘Mirror, mirror on the wall, tell me now, who is the prettiest one that has ever reflected in you?’ This line underscores her journey of embracing her true self, flaws and all.
He encontrado mi muñeca favoritaI’ve found my favorite doll,
a la que me abrazaba justo antes de dormirthe one I’d hug right before falling asleep,
y no sé, pero parece que me gritaand I don’t know, but it feels like she’s yelling at me,
qué he hecho todo el tiempo que no he estado por aquí.asking what I’ve been doing all the time I haven’t been around.
Te cuento que no soy muy diferenteI’ll tell you that I’m not too different,
aunque ahora hay mucha gente que sabe todode mí.even though there are many people now who know everything about me.
Pensé que eso sería suficiente,I thought that would be enough,
lo siento, me olvidé de ti.I’m sorry, I forgot about you.
Y me costó, pero logré entender…And it was hard, but I managed to understand…
A mi primer amor,To my first love,
que siempre he sido yo.which has always been me.
Acaso estabas tú jugando con mi vozWere you perhaps playing with my voice,
que a veces se equivocawhich sometimes makes mistakes
y suena medio rota.and sounds a little broken?
A mi primer amor,To my first love,
que sigo siendo yo.which is still me.
Después de la caída tras el apagónAfter the fall following the blackout,
el mundo me lo nota.the world can see it in me.
Entera, mía y loca.Whole, mine, and crazy.
Espejo, espejito, dime ahoraMirror, mirror on the wall, tell me now,
quién es la más bonita que se ha reflejado en ti.who is the prettiest one that has ever reflected in you?
Me miro y te agradezco desde ahoraI look at myself and thank you from now on,
que nunca dejarasthat you never stopped
de ver lo mejor en mí.seeing the best in me.
Me costó, pero logré entender…It was hard, but I managed to understand…
A mi primer amor,To my first love,
que siempre he sido yo.which has always been me.
Acaso estabas tú jugando con mi vozWere you perhaps playing with my voice,
que a veces se equivocawhich sometimes makes mistakes
y suena medio rota.and sounds a little broken?
A mi primer amor,To my first love,
que sigo siendo yo.which is still me.
Después de la caída tras el apagónAfter the fall following the blackout,
elmundo me lo nota.the world can see it in me.
Entera, mía y loca.Whole, mine, and crazy.
Me solté de tu mano, dejé de jugar,I let go of your hand, I stopped playing,
jugando a hacerme grande dejé de saltar,playing at growing up, I stopped jumping,
se pasaron los años, no te vi pasar.the years went by, I didn’t see you passing by.
Hoy volveré a buscar…Today I will go back to searching for…
A mi primer amor,My first love,
que siempre he sido yo.which has always been me.
Acaso estabas tú jugando con mi vozWere you perhaps playing with my voice,
que a veces se equivocawhich sometimes makes mistakes
y suena medio rota.and sounds a little broken?
A mi primer amor,To my first love,
que sigo siendo yo.which is still me.
