Par Mil Lyrics in English by Juan Carlos Baglietto, Lito Vitale

Desoye comes from the verb desoír, meaning to disregard, ignore, or turn a deaf ear to something. It's a less common and more formal word than simply saying "no escucha" (doesn't listen).

In the lyrics, "Desoye los cuidados" (He disregards the warnings/cares), it suggests a deliberate act of ignoring advice or precautions. This word adds a layer of defiance or heedlessness that makes it particularly interesting and memorable.

This song presents a fascinating and somewhat mysterious conversation, almost like a stream of consciousness. It seems to be a dialogue, or perhaps an internal debate, about importance, perception, and what truly matters.

There's a contrast between external appearances and inner worth. Lines like "fue el empresario" [he was the businessman] and "es imagen" [it is image] suggest a focus on outward success or how one is perceived. But then the singer questions this with "no creo ser tan importante" [I don't think I'm that important], bringing a sense of humility or perhaps a challenge to the idea of self-importance. The mention of "mi yerno" [my son-in-law] and what "hay de imagen en mi yerno" [there is of image in my son-in-law] adds a personal, almost domestic touch to this reflection on image. The song touches on a feeling of being lost or struggling, with phrases like "estoy en la oscuridad" [I am in the darkness] and "sin saberlo para tomar aire" [without knowing it to take air], which feels quite vulnerable. It's a song that makes you think about what we value and what we overlook in ourselves and others, all while maintaining a wonderfully enigmatic quality.
