Hernan Figueroa Reyes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Poca fortuna
Tu amor se vuelve espina de tuna
Espina de tuna
Que mala suerte digo
Con tus amores
No quiero espinas
Ay de mi siempre así
Murienomé por verte
Pero es que tengo para quererte
Muy mala suerte
Tengo para quererte, mi vida
Muy mala suerte
Que mala suerte tengo
Sigo tu huella
Voy caminando
Tras de una estrella, tras de una estrella
Que mala suerte digo
Loca esperanza
Si las estrellas
Nunca se alcanzan, nunca se alcanzan

They confess that they would die for the person they love, but their bad luck in love still persists.
The second verse of the song continues the theme of the singer pursuing their love interest despite their bad luck. They state that they are following the trail of their beloved, chasing after a star that seems unattainable. The singer acknowledges the impracticality of their hopeless pursuit, but they cannot help themselves due to their "crazy hope."
