The first album of La Quinta Estación became popular in Mexico because one of the songs (¿Dónde Irán?, "Where will they go?") was chosen as the theme song for Clase 406, one of the most popular telenovelas of Televisa in 2002. After touring the country to promote their album, they decided to stay permanently. In the same year, they performed Voy a pasármelo bien ("I'm going to have a good time") in the tribute-album to Hombres G and Si yo fuera mujer ("If I were a woman") for the soundtrack of Dame tu cuerpo, a Mexican film starred by Rafael Sánchez Navarro and Luis María Zetina.
In February 2004, the band released their second album Flores de Alquiler ("Leased Flowers") produced entirely in Mexico. The first single was El Sol No Regresa ("The Sun Doesn't Come Back") a rock song that begins with mariachi trumpets. This song talks about someone who attempts to drink away their heartbreak. The title line of the chorus translates to, "after several tequilas, the clouds go away but the sun doesn't come back". This song, as said by the band, is a tribute they made to Mexican people for being the start point of their careers.
Their second single Algo Más ("Something More", written by Natalia) talks about a feeling the author says is not love but it is "something more" that fulfills her and it is stronger than "distance, pain, and nostalgia". The video for this song was recorded at a bar in the Historic District of Mexico City.
The video was directed by Alejandro Hernández, who also directed the video for El Sol No Regresa and its photography is in black and white. The scene and wardrobe are set in the 1950s and the band is seen performing at a nightclub with a couple enjoying the song and afterward inspired by its lyrics leave their seats to caress each other.
The third single of the band was "Daría" ("I Would Give") which also met with great success, the video was filmed in Mexico City and reached No. 1 on the VH1 Latin America Top 20 and other charts in Latin America.
"Niña" ("Girl") was the latest single off the album. The video was quite controversial and also made it to the VH1's chart. This single was quite successful on Mexican radio. According to the band, this song was written for a handicapped girl.
The first two singles caused the album to become a triple-platinum album in Mexico and double gold in the United States. And gold also in Puerto Rico and Spain. These two singles and Daría entered the Top 20 Billboard's Hot Latin Tracklist. This album was the first by the band released in Spain.
In 2005, they received more than 1.5 million votes to become Grupo Latino del año ("Latin band of the year") on the music video network Ritmoson of Televisa. On November 1 of the same year, the band released a CD/DVD compilation of their hits called Acústico.
In 2006, they released "Tu Peor Error" (Your Worst Mistake) the first single to their 3rd album "El Mundo Se Equivoca" (The World [as in people] Makes Mistakes). "Tu peor error" is also remarkable for being the band's first album publish in dual disc format, containing on the video side, the behind the cameras of the album's recording.
On March 16, 2007, the band performed for the first time at Mexico's most important venue, the National Auditorium (Auditorio Nacional), in Mexico City.
After seven years La Quinta Estación's guitarist, Pablo Domínguez, decided it was time for him to leave the group and joined to Varsovia. La Quinta Estación's next studio album was released on March 3, 2009. The lead single is announced called ("Que Te Quería") and was released on January 5, 2009. The date of Sin Frenos was released in the USA on March 17, 2009.
On February 20, 2010, Cadena Dial (a Spanish radio station) falsely announced the "exclusive" news of the final separation of La Quinta Estación, i.e. breaking the duo Angel and Natalia.
On November 12, 2010, the day after the Latin Grammys, Natalia Jimenez said La Quinta Estacion will still exist and that the two are simply looking into individual projects, but "one day we will release another album (as La Quinta Estacion)"
mi ciudad
La 5ª Estación Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Madrid ya se quedo atrás
Parece que el tiempo pasa lento
Y mi otra vida queda lejos
Y si este es mi destino
Morir en este lugar
Solo necesito 1 cosa
Y si
Esta es mi ciudad
Cuna de mis sueños
Y si
Esta es mi ciudad
Distrito de mi soledad
Espero con ansiedad
La alegría por recuperar
Que esta calle me brindo
La fuerza para empezar
Que esta mal y que esta bien
Quien esta y quien se fue
Disfruto un minuto de tranquilidad
Y con el tu libertad
Dentro de este infierno
Lo que siento es mas de
Lo que aprendo de ti
No quiero llorar por lo que
Pierdo, dolor es un
Recuerdo a olvidar
In the song "Mi Ciudad" by La 5ª Estación, the singer describes their sense of detachment from Madrid, their previous home, as they have settled into a new city. The lyrics reflect a sense of nostalgia for their "other life," which is now far away. The singer wonders whether this new place will be their final destination and where they will eventually die. However, there is one thing that they need, which is the assurance that their loved one will remain with them, which gives them a sense of security.
The song's chorus echoes the singer's mixed feelings toward their new city. On the one hand, it is the birthplace of their dreams, and on the other, it represents their loneliness. The singer clings to a hope of regaining the happiness they experienced in their previous life, and they are eager to reconnect with the "strength to begin" that they once found on the streets of the new city.
The lyrics of "Mi Ciudad" express the feelings of adaptation and the search for belonging that come with relocation. They also demonstrate the idea that true connection comes from the people with whom we choose to share our lives, rather than from our surroundings.
