Alimaña Pasajera

Albertucho's song "Alimaña Pasajera" delves into the complexities of life's injustices and the transient nature of personal struggles. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the bitterness and slow-moving consequences of injustice, symbolized by the 'goterón' or big drop. This imagery sets the tone for a reflection on the past, where memories of who the 'good' people are resurface, causing discomfort and disturbance.

The recurring theme of 'sangre buena a medias' (half-good blood) suggests a sense of incomplete virtue or moral ambiguity. This is further emphasized by the 'traje de lobo' (wolf suit) that grows and becomes shrouded in fog over the years, symbolizing the increasing complexity and perhaps the moral compromises one makes as they age. The 'alimaña pasajera' (fleeting pest) represents the temporary yet impactful struggles that drain one's energy and affect their conscience, likened to the heat that dehydrates.

The song also touches on the cyclical nature of life, with its twists and turns that leave the narrator feeling bewildered and passive, resorting to wasting time and singing just for the sake of it. The repeated lines about the lies whispered into the narrator's ears and the resulting 'risa tonta' (silly laughter) highlight the internal conflict and the struggle to maintain one's identity amidst external influences. Ultimately, the song captures the essence of navigating through life's injustices and transient challenges, reflecting on the impact they have on one's conscience and sense of self.
