Hierbas De Asia

El Ultimo De La Fila's song 'Hierbas De Asia' is a poignant exploration of nostalgia, lost time, and the bittersweet memories of a past love. The lyrics are rich with imagery and metaphors that evoke a sense of longing and reflection. The phrase 'Saber cosas que nadie sabe' (Knowing things that no one knows) suggests a deep, intimate connection between the narrator and their lost love, a bond that feels unique and irreplaceable. The mention of 'hierbas de Asia' (herbs of Asia) with their 'mil aromas' (thousand aromas) symbolizes the exotic and multifaceted nature of their relationship, filled with diverse and unforgettable experiences.

The song's narrative is steeped in melancholy, as the narrator reflects on the time wasted away from their beloved. Lines like 'He perdido el tiempo hundido en la prosa vil' (I have wasted time sunk in vile prose) and 'he perdido el tiempo que pasé lejos de ti' (I have wasted the time I spent away from you) convey a deep sense of regret and sorrow. The imagery of reading old letters and songs by candlelight while it rains outside further enhances the mood of wistful remembrance and the pain of lost moments.

The recurring theme of returning to past memories is evident in lines like 'vuelve el oscuro animal que hay dentro de mí' (the dark animal inside me returns) and 'vuelve la canción que nos hizo enamorar' (the song that made us fall in love returns). These lines suggest that despite the passage of time, the emotions and memories associated with the past love remain vivid and powerful. The song captures the essence of longing for what once was and the enduring impact of a significant relationship on one's life, even as time moves forward and circumstances change.
