Flor De Un Día

Fey's song 'Flor De Un Día' captures the essence of a fleeting romance, one that burns brightly but briefly. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two lovers trying to extend their night together, chasing a timid moon that escapes the light. This imagery sets the stage for a love that is intense yet transient, much like a flower that blooms for just one day. The metaphor of the 'Flor de un día' (flower of a day) is central to the song, symbolizing the ephemeral nature of their relationship.

The chorus emphasizes the duality of their connection, describing it as a 'combinación de dulce y ácido' (combination of sweet and sour). This juxtaposition highlights the bittersweet reality of their love—passionate and fiery, yet destined to fade. The 'huellas de carmín' (traces of lipstick) on their bodies serve as a physical reminder of their brief encounter, while the lingering scent ('los flecos de tu olor') evokes the memory of their time together. These sensory details enrich the narrative, making the listener feel the intensity and the inevitable end of this love affair.

As the song progresses, the inevitability of their separation becomes more apparent. The line 'odiando ver salir el Sol' (hating to see the sun rise) encapsulates the dread of morning, when reality sets in and the night of passion comes to an end. The sea's salty taste ('sabor a sal') and its message that their love is nothing more than a temporary blaze ('un incendio, temporal') further underscore the transient nature of their relationship. In the end, not even ashes remain, leaving only the memory of a love that was as intense as it was brief.
