Historia Triste
Eskorbuto Lyrics

The lyrics to Eskorbuto's song "Historia Triste" (Sad Story) capture the fleeting nature of human existence. The opening lines - "Pasan los años, pasa tu vida / Pasan los meses, pasan tus días" (Years pass, your life passes / Months pass, your days pass) - convey the relentless passage of time and how it gradually wears away at our lives. The repetition of "pasa" (passes) emphasizes the inevitability of this process, which affects everyone regardless of their circumstances.

The next lines - "Pasan las horas, tambien tus minutos / Este puede ser tu último segundo" (Hours pass, as do your minutes / This could be your last second) - underline the suddenness with which our lives can end. The lyric "Este puede ser tu último segundo" (This could be your last second) is a potent reminder of the fragility of life and how it can be taken away in an instant.

The chorus of the song - "Oohhhh, historia triste / Oohhhh, historia histórica / Oohhhh, historia final" (Oh, sad story / Oh, historic story / Oh, final story) - encapsulates the overarching theme of the song: that our lives are transient and ultimately end in death. The phrase "historia triste" (sad story) suggests that our lives may be filled with hardship and pain, while "historia histórica" (historic story) suggests that our lives may have some significance or impact on the world around us. The final phrase, "historia final" (final story), underscores the inevitable endpoint of our lives and the sense of finality that comes with death.
