Lux
Alba Reche Lyrics

The lyrics to Alba Reche's song "Lux" are haunting and mysterious, with a sense of loss and sadness pervading throughout. The song opens with the line "Era blanca y dormía al alba" which translates to "She was white and slept at dawn," painting a picture of a beautiful, peaceful being who is tragically no longer with us. The following lines ask, "Quién te rompió cariño / Quién te calló / Quién osó pecarte," which translates roughly to "Who broke you, my love / Who silenced you / Who dared to sin against you." These lines suggest that the subject of the song has been wronged in some way, but the nature of the wrongdoing is left vague.

The next verse begins with "Un angelito le cuidaba," which means "A little angel was watching over her." This line suggests that the subject of the song is deceased and has passed on to some kind of afterlife. The following lines, "Cayó del cielo mirando al fuego / Te crearon por lucero / Te redujeron a cenizas," translate to "She fell from the sky watching the fire / they created you as a star / they reduced you to ashes." These lines are vivid and poetic, painting a dramatic picture of a being falling from the sky and being transformed into a celestial object before ultimately being destroyed.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Era tan bonita" multiple times, which translates simply to "She was so beautiful." This refrain underscores the tragedy of the song, as it emphasizes that the subject of the song was a wondrous, awe-inspiring being who is no longer with us. Later in the song, the lines "El valor de tu cuerpo / No está regido por mí / Fiera a morir," which mean "The value of your body / Is not governed by me / I'm fierce to the death," suggest that the subject of the song was treated as an object or a commodity, rather than a living being with inherent worth.
