Mi Suerte

The song 'Mi Suerte' by Morat, a Colombian band known for their folk-pop style, delves into the emotional turmoil of missing someone deeply. The lyrics express the protagonist's struggle with the absence of a loved one, where memories are no longer sufficient to fill the void. The repeated line 'Ya no me alcanzan tus recuerdos' translates to 'Your memories are no longer enough for me,' highlighting the insufficiency of the past to satisfy the present longing.

The chorus of 'Mi Suerte' reveals a bittersweet acceptance of fate. The singer acknowledges that they have used up all their luck in finding this significant other, indicating that the encounter was so valuable that it was worth all the fortune they could ever have. Despite the pain of separation, there is no regret or blame towards luck; instead, there's a sense of gratitude for having experienced such a profound connection. This sentiment is encapsulated in the lines 'Yo ya gasté toda mi suerte, Mi suerte la usé en encontrarte a ti,' meaning 'I already spent all my luck, my luck I used in finding you.'

Morat's poetic use of imagery, such as comparing the loved one's waist to the guitar and stating that photographs don't do justice, emphasizes the irreplaceable nature of personal interaction and physical presence. The song resonates with anyone who has ever felt the ache of missing someone and the desire to have them close, not just in memory but in reality. 'Mi Suerte' is a love letter to those moments and people that are so precious, they are worth every bit of fortune we have.
