The word tres?

Question

I was listening to a song earlier and the artist uses the word tres which means three but i don't understand how is is being used in this song. I copied the first part of the song so there is some context. The word is towards the end of the lyrics. Thanks.

Te comencé a querer desde que te vi al primer dia te adore tanto y tanto como jamas alguien te adoraria Te comencé a querer sin saber si tu a mi me querias me volvi como un loco como si fueras la unica que existiria Y aunque se que eres un niña que no podemos ser tres todavia y aunque se que me preguntaste muy adentro de ti no querias no querias

Answer 1

If the lyrics are correct, I'd say he's talking about having a baby, and it can't happen yet (she's too young?).

Answer 2

i think is

1: La niña

2: El enamorado que le canta la canción

3: El futuro hijo que le gustaría tener cuando sea una mujer

Answer 3

The links are great, but they sure don't explain the use of 'tres'.

The whole thing strikes me weird:

And even if you're a girl we can not still be three. ???

But I'm guessing someone will make sense out of it so hang in there. I'll be checking back because you have me curious now.

It does seem that you need more context for the song to have meaning. - 0074b507, Aug 6, 2010

The whole song is there, I suspect there is an expression that just isn't translating ... like in the expression 'cada dos por tres', or 'en un dos por tres' - LateToDinner, Aug 6, 2010

Answer 4

More context:

Te comencé a querer..letras

YouTube if you want to hear it.
