Sueños Del Cometa

Fernando Delgadillo's 'Sueños Del Cometa' is a poetic exploration of life's journey, using the metaphor of flying a kite to represent the human experience. The song begins in January, symbolizing a new beginning, and progresses through the months, each bringing its own challenges and opportunities. The imagery of ventiscas (blizzards) and heladas (frosts) in the early verses suggests the initial struggles and coldness one might face at the start of a new venture. However, as the seasons change, so does the outlook, with March and spring bringing a sense of renewal and hope.

The chorus emphasizes the idea of humans as 'papalotes' (kites), navigating the unpredictable winds of life. The act of flying a kite, with its ups and downs, mirrors the human experience of facing challenges and finding joy in moments of freedom and elevation. The line 'nuestra propia mano guía un viaje aéreo a medio día' (our own hand guides an aerial journey at midday) highlights the importance of personal agency and the joy of steering one's own path, even amidst uncertainties.

As the song progresses, the narrator reflects on the fleeting nature of these moments of flight. The month of May, with its sideways glances, represents a time of introspection and the realization that while the duration of these moments is unknown, the experience of flying is what truly matters. The song concludes with an invitation to embrace the winds of life, to 'levantar los cometas de papel' (raise the paper kites), encouraging listeners to take control of their journey and find joy in the act of living, despite the inherent unpredictability.
