He developed a unique latin american fusion borne out of a life of traveling, dominated by latin and brazilian rhythms. Songs like Huellas and Hijo del Sol Luminoso (written while he played as part of the band Congreso) became hits from the beginning. In his eclecticism, his music still breathes from the roots of the local traditional chilean music. Today he's recording for an independent label after a big problem with his first label, EMI.

Mujer ingrata tu traición
Deja huellas en mi corazón
Aunque todo parezca normal
Sigues mintiéndole al corazón

Por eso ponle mucha atención
Dime adiós y no vuelvas más
Ya que todo parece normal

Sigue tu propio camino

Cuidado
Vas a ver
Que no se juega con vida ajena, mujer
Cuidado
Puede ser
Que por las noches sueñes conmigo

Llevo tres días sin dormir
Hago de todo para olvidar
Creo que no podré soportar
La condena de una traición

Misericordia dame la luz
Dame un camino en la caridad
Y aunque parezca todo normal
Dime adiós y no vuelvas más

Cuidado
Vas a ver
Que no se juega con alma ajena, mujer
Cuidado
Puede ser
Que por las noches sueñes conmigo

Hermana ingrata tu traición
Dejo marcas en mi corazón
Y aunque parezca todo normal
Sigues mintiéndole al corazón

Por eso ponle mucha atención
Dame un beso y no vuelvas más
Ya que todo parece normal
Sigue tu propio camino

Cuidado
Vas a ver
Que no se juega con alma ajena, mujer
Cuidado
Puede ser
Que por las noches sueñes conmigo

Mujer, uh-oh-oh
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) Salve, santo Antonio
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) Santo Antonio casamentero
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Llevo tres días sin dormir
Hago de todo para olvidar
Creo que no podre soportar
La condena de una traición

Misericordia dame la luz
Dame un camino en la caridad
Aunque parezca todo normal
Dime adiós y no vuelvas más

Cuidado
Vas a ver
Que no se juega con alma ajena, mujer
Cuidado
Puede ser
Que por las noches sueñes conmigo
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Joe Vasconcellos's song "Huellas" tell a story of a man who has been betrayed by a woman he loved. The woman's betrayal has left deep wounds in his heart, and despite the appearance of everything being normal, she continues to lie to his heart. The man warns her to be careful, as playing with someone's feelings could have serious consequences. He also expresses his difficulty in moving on, having gone three days without sleep, trying everything to forget the pain of the betrayal. He seeks mercy and guidance, and ultimately asks for a kiss before the woman leaves him forever.

There is a sense of sadness and resignation evident in the lyrics, as the man has clearly been hurt deeply by the woman's actions. The repetition of the phrase "Dame un beso y no vuelvas mas" ("Give me a kiss and don't come back anymore") reinforces his desire to move on, but also hints at a reluctance to let go of what they once had. Overall, the song conveys a powerful message about the consequences of betraying someone's trust and playing with their emotions.
