Y fue

Miguel Bosé's song 'Y fue' delves into themes of personal transformation, introspection, and the search for freedom. The lyrics paint a picture of a person going through a difficult time, feeling like a 'pájaro de luna' (moon bird), a metaphor for someone who feels out of place or lost. The mention of 'gente sin un alibi' (people without an alibi) suggests a sense of displacement and the need to constantly change one's surroundings. This could be interpreted as a reflection on the transient nature of life and the search for a place where one truly belongs.

The song's protagonist speaks of self-punishment and waiting for things to fall into place, indicating a period of self-reflection and acceptance. The desire for freedom is palpable, as the lyrics mention wanting the 'táctica' (tactic), 'máscara' (mask), and 'verdad' (truth) of the soul. This suggests a longing to strip away pretenses and find genuine self-expression. The repeated phrase 'y fue... profundo' (and it was... deep) emphasizes the profound impact of this journey on the individual's psyche.

The chorus, with its repetition of 'vacío en mi mente' (emptiness in my mind), highlights a state of mental emptiness or clarity that comes from this deep introspection. The song's imagery of a wounded bird flying at sunset in an 'éxtasis de amor' (ecstasy of love) further underscores the theme of transformation through love and pain. Bosé's poetic lyrics and emotive delivery make 'Y fue' a powerful exploration of the human condition, capturing the essence of personal growth and the quest for inner freedom.
