The three girls were initially cast in the mid-1980s for a TV show to be called Fans, which was to feature chats and sing-alongs with guest stars. When plans for the show fell through, a project was started to turn the girls into a pop music group. The group was renamed "Flans" and their first album, Flans, was launched in 1985. Their style was mainly pop music and ballads although one of their albums (Cuéntamelo Dum-Dum) is somewhat child-oriented.
The group released a new album every year until 1990 when they separated, with a national tour and the release of their "last" album Adiós.
After their separation in 1990, Ivonne married and devoted herself to painting; Mimí and Ilse started solo careers, with Mimí also being the host for a TV show.
Rumors of a reunion started in 1999 and were confirmed with the 2000 release of Hadas, although further work by the group has been sporadic.
In 2002, the group changed their name to IIM and released a new album of Electronic versions of their greatest hits.
In 2006, the group returned under the name Flans for a good-bye tour "20 Millas Despues", with a final concert in Mexico City.
La única estrella
Flans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Como el ansia que me molesta hoy
Cambio de pensamiento y este intento trae
Una duda nueva, no sé bien por qué
Imaginemos que él estuviera aquí
Cambiaría, sí, la monotonía
Probablemente no sería ya mía
Si le creo, no, y si le creo
Será una lluvia tal vez ligera, fantasma de la libertad
Sensual encanto de primavera
Y el horizonte me abrirá la última playa que me espera
Y en plena noche brillará la única estrella verdadera
De nuevo se iluminará mi única estrella
Es tal el sentimiento que me trae hasta aquí
Y me obliga así a pensar en él
Bestia que muerde y que olvidó de ladrar
Despertando en mí la curiosidad
Todo esto al fin es un tormento
Que aquí por fuerza hoy pierdo la energía
Un pasaporte de la melancolía
Que me deja en medio de una larga vía
Si le creo, no, y si le creo
Será una lluvia tal vez ligera, fantasma de la libertad
Viajero en tierra de fantasía
En la frontera encontrarás la última playa toda entera
Y el horizonte me dará la única estrella verdadera
Y el infinito calmará el ansia y todo lo que quieras
Y el horizonte me abrirá la última playa toda entera
De nuevo me iluminará la única estrella verdadera
Y el horizonte me dará la única estrella verdadera
Y el infinito calmará el ansia y todo lo que quieras
The lyrics to Flans's song La única estrella suggest a sense of restlessness and uncertainty about a potential change in a relationship. The singer describes feeling a persistent and unfamiliar yearning that leads to doubting their own thoughts and feelings. They imagine what it would be like if the other person were present, wondering if it would break up the monotony but also potentially disrupt their current state of mind. The lyrics use imagery of rain and stars to suggest a sense of renewal and hope, as well as a feeling of being lost in an endless journey of emotions.
The first verse sets the tone for the song. The singer expresses their confusion and unease about their emotions, describing them as a "stubborn strange feeling" that they cannot shake. They mention a "change of thought" and a "new doubt" that they cannot explain. In the second verse, the singer imagines what it would be like if the other person were there. They wonder if this would break up the monotony but also recognize that it could change the nature of their relationship. The chorus uses vivid imagery of rain and stars to suggest a sense of rebirth and possibility. In the last verse, the singer reflects on the depth of their feelings and the impact they have on their energy levels. They describe this as a "passport of melancholy" that they are forced to relinquish. The chorus repeats once more, suggesting a resolution and a sense of calmness and satisfaction.
Overall, the lyrics to La única estrella convey a sense of ambiguity and struggle with emotions that are difficult to understand and articulate. The use of metaphors and imagery adds depth and complexity to the song, inviting the listener to reflect on their own experiences of change and uncertainty.
