Trece Planetas

El Ultimo De La Fila's song 'Trece Planetas' delves into the depths of sorrow and misfortune, painting a vivid picture of a love lost and the ensuing emotional turmoil. The lyrics open with 'Pena negra, mal de amor,' which translates to 'Black sorrow, love sickness,' immediately setting a tone of deep melancholy. The singer describes a magical curse, suggesting that the love they experienced was both enchanting and destructive. The phrase 'Fuiste tú mi perdición' ('You were my downfall') encapsulates the idea that this love, while once beautiful, has led to their ruin.

The song continues to explore themes of bad luck and fate, with the line 'trece planetas marcan mi mala suerte' ('thirteen planets mark my bad luck'). In astrology, the alignment of planets can signify various life events, and here, the number thirteen, often associated with bad luck, underscores the singer's sense of doom. The imagery of a lost star and a will that has been nullified further emphasizes the depth of their despair. The singer feels abandoned, even by their own shadow, highlighting a profound sense of isolation.

Despite the overwhelming sorrow, there is a yearning for connection and a desire to rekindle the lost love. The lines 'Dormir abrazado a ti, revolverte el pelo rojo' ('Sleep embraced with you, tangle your red hair') evoke a longing for intimacy and the comfort of physical closeness. However, this desire is juxtaposed with the reality that the beloved is now gone, 'en tu cuerpo que ahora enreda el viento' ('in your body that now tangles with the wind'). This final image poignantly captures the essence of the song: a love that was once tangible and warm is now a ghostly memory, carried away by the wind.
