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.
Y No Estás
Flans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
nuestra historia que acababa de empezar,
mi impaciencia por tenerte
y mis ganas de adorarte
acabaron por hacerte echar atrás.
Fue tanto el amor
fueron tantas ilusiones
que inventé,
te invité a soñar conmigo,
te hice parte de mi mundo, ¿para qué?
Todo se me escapa,
ya no quedan madrugadas que inventar,
se me agotan tus miradas
y te busco entre mi almohada,
con el viento las promesas se nos van
y no estás.
Si piensas en mí,
si en tu soledad recuerdas lo que fui,
las locuras compartidas,
las caricias hoy prohibidas,
todo aquello que guardaba para ti.
Todo se me escapa…
The lyrics to "Y No Estás" by Flans describe the end of a relationship that had just begun. The singer admits their impatience in wanting to have their partner and adore them, but they pushed too hard and caused their partner to retreat. The singer confesses to having created an imaginary world with their partner, but now it's all slipping away. They reminisce about the love and dreams they shared, but now those promises are gone and their partner is no longer there. The final lines express a sense of longing, asking if their partner still thinks of them and remembers the love and affection they once shared.
Overall, the song conveys a bittersweet sense of loss and regret. The singer seems to recognize that they were too much, too soon, and their demands were too intense for their partner. They regret that they couldn't keep the love and dreams they had together alive, and now they are left alone, searching for their partner in their memories and dreams.

Anoche me rompieron el corazón y este tema lo describe perfectamente. Toda la letra describe lo que sentí al estar bien y lo que sentí con la decepción de anoche. "Te invité a soñar conmigo, te hice parte de mi mundo, todo ¿para qué?". Serio traigo el corazón herido.
