About Quién

"Quién" (English: "Who") is a latin pop song by Guatemalan recording artist Ricardo Arjona, released on 19 June 2007 as the lead single from his compilation album, Quién Dijo Ayer (2007). The song's lyrics were written by Arjona, and its music was composed by Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Tommy Torres, who also worked with Arjona on his tenth studio album, Adentro (2005). Performed with additional background vocals by Torres, "Quien" was produced by Arjona with longtime collaborators Dan Warner and Lee Levin under their stage name Los Gringos, and was recorded between several studios in Miami and Mexico City. Described by Arjona as "the world out of the window and the prison built by ourselves", "Quién" became a moderate commercial success, reaching number 21 on the US Billboard Top Latin Songs chart, and number four at the Latin Pop Songs chart. Its accompanying music video, directed by Simon Brand, was filmed in Las Vegas, and features Arjona singing while walking around the city's nighttime lights. A "jewel of elegance", according to Mexican website Terra, the music video has received 1.3 million views on YouTube.

18 motivos pa' dejarte,
14 consejos pa' olvidar
500 razones para odiarte,
Saco la cuenta why a sumar...
Millones de ovejas pa'l desvelo,
Cocktail de pastillas pa dormir?
14 las muestras de tu pelo
Como cuchillos de fakir

Cuando fue que se fue tu amor?
Como fue que se fue sin mi?
Que no amanezca por favor...

Se trepa la la luz por la ventana
Se escuchan los autos por ahí
Tu ADN esta en la cama
Why yo lo clono para mi...
De tantas formas siento miedo
Que he preferido no salir
60 veces dije puedo
80 más me arrepentí

Cuando fue que se fue tu amor
Como fue que se fue sin mí...

Quien te besó, lejos de aquí,
Mientras te inventaba en la cama,
Quien te rozó, lejos de mi,
Quien te acompaña esta mañana.
¿cuanto perdí? ¿quien te gano?
¿que hago con este miedo a futuro?...
Saco la cuenta why a restar

Son 7 Lunes por semana,
Son 30 inviernos cada mes
Las horas son de porcelana
La vida un juego de ajedrez,
Dejaste minas en la casa
Con objetivos de matar...
La vida llora cuando pasa
La suerte ríe en el plackard

Cuando fue que se fue tu amor
Como fue que se fue sin mí...

Quien te besó, lejos de aquí,
Mientras te inventaba en la cama,
Quien te rozó, lejos de mi,
Quien te acompaña esta mañana.
¿cuanto perdí? ¿quien te gano?
¿que hago con este miedo al futuro?...

Dejaste tu sombra merodeando sin permiso por la casa,
La huella en la alfombra de tu espalda como crater en la luna
Why tu reflejo en el espejo...

Quien te besó, lejos de aquí,
Mientras te inventaba en la cama,
Quien te rozó, lejos de mi,
Quien te acompaña esta mañana.
¿cuanto perdí? ¿quien te gano?
¿que hago con este miedo a futuro?...
Saco la cuenta why a restar

... ohh noo...

Quién te ganó...

Quien te besó, lejos de aquí,
Quien te acompaña esta mañana...
