Poquita Fe Lyrics – Ricardo Arjona

Poquita Fe Lyrics Meaning

[Verso 1]
The singer reflects on his life, claiming to have lived through several lifetimes, losing most of them. Now, with his remaining life, he chooses to live alone and detached. He has no emotional investment in relationships, willing to kiss anyone without care, indifferent to whether they fall in love. He emphasizes that his current existence is fleeting, just for one night.

[Verso 2]
The man’s loneliness is broken when someone knocks on his emotional door. He opens up to them, exposing his vulnerabilities. The kiss that follows offers a kind of emotional release, turning guilt into a form of absolution. Despite his weakness, this moment of intimacy leaves a lasting impression on him, marking him with the memory of that kiss.

[Coro]
The chorus captures the theme of emotional isolation and disillusionment. The imagery of mirrors imitating each other and soldiers defending themselves represents how people’s emotions can be reflections of each other yet still unconnected. Broken hearts and fear of the future prevent people from embracing love fully. Despite this, the kiss shared provides a brief relief, yet the man’s fragile faith in love remains in the other person’s hands.

[Verso 3]
The singer expresses a desire to stay in this moment, pretending to be a strong, self-sufficient man. However, he acknowledges that his feelings are complicated and tainted by psychological baggage. He warns that love is not a calm, easy journey and once emotions are stirred, they cannot simply be put out like a fire.

[Coro]
In this repetition of the chorus, the themes of fear, vulnerability, and emotional distance continue to dominate. There’s a repeated image of people’s hearts being broken, guarded by a “little faith” in love. Even though the kiss offers temporary relief, the emotional barriers remain, with the person holding onto the man’s fragile belief in love.

[Puente]
The bridge portrays an intense, intimate moment where the singer offers his solitude, his emotional freedom, and his darkness to the other person. There’s an acceptance of whatever comes next, leaving the outcome up to fate or divine will, without control over what will happen.

[Coro]
This final chorus restates the central themes of emotional defense mechanisms and the difficulty of truly connecting. Hearts that have been broken and individuals who are afraid of the future keep their distance. While the kiss might quench the emotional thirst, the singer’s faith remains fragile and remains with the person who shared the moment.

[Outro]
In the outro, the song closes with a final reflection on emotional avoidance. The parallel lives and the fear of what’s to come continue to keep the singer and the other person apart, leaving their emotional journey unresolved despite the brief connection they shared.
