Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se esta apagando
La nube negra, de mi desgracia
Poquito a poco la va tapando
Y aunque yo quiera que no se vaya
Es mi destino jamás mirarla
Quien me lo manda poner los ojos
La única estrella que tiene mi cielo
Se esta perdiendo
La nube negra de mi desgracia
Poquito a poco la va cubriendo
Y aunque yo quiera que no me deje
Ella se aleja mientras yo grito
Quien me lo manda poner los ojos
En una estrella, del infinito
In Julio Preciado y Su Banda Perla del Pacifico's song "La Estrella" the singer mourns the loss of the only star in his sky. He describes how a black cloud of misfortune is slowly covering it up, despite his wishes to keep the star shining. He feels powerless as he is bound to never see the star again. He questions the reason why he ever set his eyes on a star that was so high above, that he could never reach.
The song is a metaphor for the loss of hope, and how life's circumstances can often leave us feeling helpless and unable to change things. The star represents a symbol of hope and light, something that guides us in the darkness of life. The singer's desperation to hold onto the star, but ultimately losing it, is a reflection of the unpredictable nature of life, and how sometimes things happen that are beyond our control.
Overall, "La Estrella" is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to the fragility of hope, and how it can easily slip through our fingers when we need it most. It serves as a reminder to appreciate the good things in life while we have them, as they can be taken away at any moment.
