milagros

The song 'Milagros' by Buenos Muchachos tells a poignant story of a woman named Milagros, who embarks on a journey towards the south. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of her life, filled with luxury and pleasure, symbolized by the 'flower of night and cabaret.' This imagery suggests a life of nightlife and perhaps a sense of escapism. The mention of 'more words without reason' and 'short phrases with passion' indicates a life filled with fleeting, intense moments but lacking deeper meaning or connection.

Milagros is portrayed as someone who has distanced herself from love and emotional attachment. The lines 'Today she won't come to talk about love' and 'She won't say us two' highlight her reluctance or inability to engage in a meaningful relationship. The repeated refrain 'Send flowers and a note, for Milagros has already left' suggests a sense of finality and loss. It implies that Milagros has moved on, either physically or emotionally, leaving behind those who cared for her.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that Milagros is living a life that is slowly consuming her. The dawn brings a disguise, and her passion's voice fades away, symbolizing the loss of her true self and the spark that once defined her. The repeated lines 'Send flowers and a note, for Milagros has already left' and 'She dies a little more and more' emphasize the gradual decline of her spirit. The song concludes with a haunting image of Milagros living 'a bit dead,' with 'sweet dreams until the end,' suggesting that she has resigned herself to a life devoid of genuine love and connection, driven by fear of feeling love.
