Inside the Emotional Loop of 'Una y Otra Vez' by Kenia Os: English Lyrics

'Una y Otra Vez' (Again and Again) by Kenia Os explores what it feels like to be emotionally stuck in a relationship that’s already over — at least on paper. It’s about that unresolved space you carry inside when you’ve moved on physically, but not emotionally.

At its core, the song talks about a lingering emptiness: a wound that never fully closed. Even when time passes, seasons change, and new people come into the picture, the feeling stays. There’s distraction, there are moments of fun, but nothing really lands the way it should. Everything feels temporary, slightly cold, incomplete.

What makes the song hit is its honesty. She knows the relationship wasn’t perfect — both people messed up — but that doesn’t stop the pull. There’s self-awareness here: realizing you keep falling back into the same emotional loop, again and again, even when you know better.

Overall, it’s a song about emotional repetition, vulnerability, and that quiet kind of heartbreak where nothing is dramatic anymore — it just hurts in a constant, low-key way. It captures the feeling of loving someone you shouldn’t go back to, but still do, because some connections don’t disappear just because you want them to.

'Una y Otra Vez' English Lyrics

[Intro]


I was the problem, but so were you


Nothing left that could save us now


So alike and so different at the same time


Nothing left to save us


And even though it hurts


The pain fades when I think of you

[Chorus]


I’ve got a hollow I never closed


It’s cold in here and I don’t know why


I can’t forget you,

I fall back in
Again and again, and again, and again


I’ve got a hollow I never closed


It’s cold in here and I don’t know why


I can’t forget you, I fall back in


Again and again, and again, and again

[Verse]


No wonder my heart walks so carefully now


I gave it to you and you let it slip


I told you, with time I’d push you aside


I told you that, but it was a lie


Days go by, months go by


Summer comes, someone else to kiss


I have a good time, but I don’t feel a thing

[Chorus]


I’ve got a hollow I never closed


It’s cold in here and I don’t know why


I can’t forget you,

I fall back in
Again and again, and again, and again


I’ve got a hollow I never closed


It’s cold in here and I don’t know why


I can’t forget you, I fall back in


Again and again, and again, and again

[Bridge]


It feels so good, but it’s so wrong


I know life keeps moving on if you’re gone

[Chorus]


I’ve got a hollow I never closed


It’s cold in here and I don’t know why


I can’t forget you,

I fall back in


Again and again, and again, and again

[Outro]


(No wonder my heart walks so carefully now)


I’ve got a hollow I never closed (No)

(I gave it to you)


It’s cold in here and I don’t know why


(I told you, with time I’d push you aside)


I can’t forget you, I fall back in (Uh)

Again and again, and again, and again
