Un Gran Gusto Conocerte Lyrics – Ricardo Arjona

Un Gran Gusto Conocerte Lyrics Meaning

[Verso 1]
In this verse, the singer reflects on the overwhelming thoughts and emotions swirling in his mind, like a monster. Time seems to slip away, and there’s an intense contrast between light and sadness, much like a Van Gogh painting. Despite trying to save the relationship, it’s clear they’ve lost the battle. The silence between them is so loud that it’s suffocating, making it hard for the singer to live in peace.

[Coro]
Here, the singer asks for honesty, even if it’s painful. He prefers the truth, even if it’s harsh, over pretending or offering false kindness. The relationship has ended, and he acknowledges that love is gone. He says, “It was a pleasure to know you,” showing a bittersweet farewell.

[Verso 2]
In this verse, Arjona uses metaphors to reflect the inevitable nature of things. He suggests that in life, there’s always a counterpart – like a clown in a circus or failure after effort. The ocean wears down the rocks, symbolizing how persistent forces can break down even the hardest things. He points out how love can sometimes be destroyed by pride and dignity, much like how a fish dies from its own actions.

[Coro]
Again, the chorus repeats the desire for truth, emphasizing that it’s better to be honest—even if it causes pain—than to hide behind fake charity. The love they once shared is gone, and the singer remains strong in accepting the end. Once more, he expresses that it was a great experience to know the other person.

[Coro (Repetition)]:
The final chorus reiterates the same sentiments. Despite the sadness and the pain of the lost love, there’s a sense of closure. The singer expresses his emotional maturity, accepting that love has faded, but acknowledging that meeting the other person was still a meaningful experience.
