Tengamos pasado literally translates to "Let's have a past." It's an intriguing phrase that captures a unique perspective on relationships.
In the song, the artists sing, "Tengamos pasado, así no haya futuro aquí" (Let's have a past, even if there's no future here). This line suggests a desire to create meaningful memories and experiences together, even if the relationship is not destined for the long term. It's a poignant and mature take on enjoying the present moment and valuing shared history, regardless of what the future holds.
Have you ever met someone and just thought, "Maybe this won't work, but let's try anyway"? That's exactly the vibe Lagos gives us in "Tengamos Pasado." He's looking at a new connection, acknowledging, "Quizá no funcionemos, Quizá somos opuesto'" [Maybe we won't work, Maybe we're opposites], but instead of backing away, he's like, "Mejor intentarlo Que quedarse con preguntas" [Better to try it Than to be left with questions].
It's all about living in the moment and making memories, even if there's no long-term guarantee. Lagos suggests, "Si no da para años Disfrutemos los segundos" [If it doesn't last for years Let's enjoy the seconds]. He just wants to "Tengamos pasado, así No haya futuro aquí" [Let's have a past, even if There's no future here]. It's a really refreshing take on relationships, focusing on the experience and the shared history rather than the destination. Plus, he's got a great point: "Y si no ganamos nada Nada vamos a perder" [And if we don't win anything We won't lose anything].
