What is the meaning of Rey Sin Reina Lyrics from 42 18?
The verses paint a king without a queen, a puzzle missing pieces, and a stubborn thorn that won’t fade. Omar Cardenas and Tlaloc Noriega describe a sad clown and a lingering ache, making the sorrow feel personal.
Dicen Que La Vida Es Corta Y Pronto Se Me Va A PasarThey say that life is short and it’ll soon pass me by,
Pero Las Horas Se Hacen Largas Pa’ Volver A ComenzarBut the hours feel so long as I try to start over again,
Procesar Que No Soy Yo Me Cala Un Chingo Pero Me Toca AguantarAccepting I’m not the one cuts me deep, but I’ve got to endure it.
Este Adiós No Va A Matarme Ah Pero Cómo Va A DolerThis goodbye won’t kill me, oh, but how it’s going to hurt,
Imaginar Y Darle Vuelta A Lo Que Ya No Puede SerTo imagine and dwell on what can no longer be,
Odio Ser En Esta Historia La Persona Que Se Va Pa’ No VolverIn this story, I hate being the one who leaves and never comes back.
Seré Ese Rompecabezas Que Le Faltan PiezasI’ll be that puzzle that’s missing its pieces,
Un Vil Payaso Con La Cara De TristezaA wretched clown with a face full of sadness,
Un Rey Sin Reina Así Me DejasA king without a queen, that’s how you’re leaving me.
Serás Esa Espinita Que Jamás Podré SacarmeYou’ll be that little thorn I’ll never be able to pull out,
No Funcionó Y Reconocerlo Da CorajeIt didn’t work out, and admitting it makes me so angry,
Que Solo En Sueños Te Pueda TenerThat I can only have you in my dreams,
Difícil Olvidarla A UstedIt’s hard to forget you,
Con El Recuerdo Me ConformaréI’ll just have to settle for the memory.
Seré Ese Rompecabezas Que Le Faltan PiezasI’ll be that puzzle that’s missing its pieces,
Un Vil Payaso Con La Cara De TristezaA wretched clown with a face full of sadness,
Un Rey Sin Reina Así Me DejasA king without a queen, that’s how you’re leaving me.
Serás Esa Espinita Que Jamás Podré SacarmeYou’ll be that little thorn I’ll never be able to pull out,
No Funcionó Y Reconocerlo Da CorajeIt didn’t work out, and admitting it makes me so angry,
Que Solo En Sueños Te Pueda TenerThat I can only have you in my dreams,
Difícil Olvidarla A UstedIt’s hard to forget you,
Con El Recuerdo Me ConformaréI’ll just have to settle for the memory.
