The band's influences are varied and go from James Taylor to Rubén Blades, as well as The Beatles, Silvio Rodríguez and Caetano Veloso.
In 1996, Son Miserables signed a record deal with Kiwi Records, for the recording of their first album, a self-titled record, at Origen Studios, in Panama City. «Son Miserables» was realeased into the Panamanian market on November 1st, 1996, and ranked among the best-selling albums in local stores, and one of the most requested in local radio stations.
Son Miserables have shared the stage with Rubén Blades, both in Panamá and Puerto Rico, as part of Blades' tour «La Rosa de los Vientos». Later, they recorded a duet with Blades entitled «No te miento» (Son Miserables) that was included in «Red, Hot & Latin», an album whose sales were destined for the fight against AIDS.
In 1998, Son Miserables started working on their second album, this time with the collaboration of John Karpowich, who has worked with Santana, Ricky Martin, Seal and Yes. The second album included 13 tracks that continued Son Miserables' simple, narrative style, but with a more elaborate production. The album was released in 1999, and included popular singles such as «Marchita la flor», «La solución» and «Solo las estrellas bastarán».
In November 2003, the band announced their dissolution and gave a last official performance at the 2003 PanamaRock Awards in Panama City.
Si Pudiera
Son Miserables Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En que mi corazón puede amarte
Estaría aquí hasta que el sol dejara de brillar
Si pudiera conversar con Dios le pidiera
Que me traiga aquí tu sonrisa
Con la brisa mañanera
Para amarte
Que arrullaron nuestro amor,
Y volver a recorrer aquellos callejones del dolor
Si pudiera conversar con Dios, le pidiera
Que me traiga aquí tu sonrisa
Con la brisa mañanera para amarte.
Si pudiera tenerte aquí conmigo, si pudiera.
Tu sonrisa en la brisa mañanera, si pudiera.
The lyrics of the song Si Pudiera by Son Miserables express the intensity of the singer’s love for a person. The song starts with the singer saying that if he could count all the ways he loves this person, he would be there until the end of time. He then wishes he could talk to God to request to have this person's smile back with the morning breeze so that he can love them once again. The singer also wishes to sing all the songs that lullaby their love and to walk through the painful alleys of their love story once more. The song ends with the singer hoping to have this person with him and their smile in the morning breeze.
The song Si Pudiera is not just expressing love for someone, but it also shows the power of love that one person can have over another. The singer is so deeply in love with this other person that they wish they could have them close to them forever. The lyrics are intense and emotional, and the melody of the song is equally powerful. The song shows that when someone truly loves another person, there is nothing that can stop them, no distance too far, and no obstacle too big.
