As de Corazones

The song "As de Corazones" by Laura Londoño tells the story of a free-spirited wanderer who encounters a captivating, yet deceptive love. The lyrics paint a picture of a woman who once lived carefree, her biggest concerns being the whims of the weather. Her life takes a turn when she meets a wandering prince, a figure who enchants her with the allure of love, only to betray her trust. The phrase 'Sacaste un as de corazones y le jugaste sucio al amor' suggests that he played a winning card in the game of love but did so dishonestly, indicating a love that was intense but ultimately harmful.

The song continues to explore the theme of a love that burns bright and fast, like a shooting star, leaving behind only memories and a sense of loss. The wanderer, once dreamy and hopeful, becomes disillusioned, no longer dreaming of the 'forbidden and deadly fruit' that this love represented. The metaphor of the forbidden fruit alludes to something that is tempting but can have destructive consequences, much like the fleeting romance she experienced.

In the final verses, the wanderer, now changed by life's circumstances, encounters her past love again. Despite the pain he caused, she feels a strong desire to rekindle the flame. However, she recognizes her own transformation, as she is now a fugitive in the city, yearning for love but scorched by the memories of the past. The song captures the complexity of human emotions, the struggle between longing and self-preservation, and the bittersweet nature of a love that was never meant to last.
