08-Traje Desastre
Los Tres Lyrics

The lyrics of Los Tres's song "Traje Desastre" speak of someone who has descended to earth with a purpose. The opening lines "Bajé a la tierra/Me decidí" (I descended to earth/I decided) suggest that this person has chosen to leave something behind and take on a new challenge on earth. The lyrics go on to describe how this person has come prepared with clothes of their own choosing, and they're here to fulfill some promise. The line "Me comí el agua/Y el vino en la mesa" (I ate the water/And the wine on the table) could be interpreted as a metaphor for consuming life's experiences as they come.

The chorus of the song repeats "Traje desastre/Traje alegría/Traje alambre/Bajé en subida" (I brought disaster/I brought joy/I brought wire/I went down climbing). This could be seen as a description of the highs and lows of life, where good times are mixed in with the bad, and everything moves in cycles. Towards the end of the song, the lyrics speak of hiding in the bushes and stealing the sun, implying perhaps a desire to escape from the world's troubles. The line "Y todo el resto/Es solo relleno" (And everything else/Is just filler) could be interpreted as an observation on how much of our lives can feel like meaningless distractions rather than meaningful experiences. The final lines of the song "Y aunque me lleve el tiempo/No tengo edad" (And even if time takes me/I have no age) suggest a sense of timelessness, as if the person singing is outside of the normal human experience.
