The Bittersweet Chase of Love in 'Que Mala Suerte'

Hernan Figueroa Reyes' song 'Que Mala Suerte' delves into the poignant and often painful experience of unrequited love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a lover who feels cursed by bad luck, as their affection is met with indifference or rejection. The recurring phrase 'Que mala suerte' (What bad luck) underscores the sense of frustration and despair that comes with loving someone who doesn't reciprocate those feelings. The metaphor of love turning into a 'espina de tuna' (cactus thorn) highlights the pain and discomfort that the protagonist endures, contrasting sharply with the desire for 'flores' (flowers), which symbolize the beauty and joy of mutual love.

The song's narrative continues with the protagonist expressing a deep yearning to be with their beloved, despite the constant setbacks. The line 'Murienomé por verte' (Dying to see you) captures the intensity of their longing. However, this desire is marred by the realization that their love is plagued by 'muy mala suerte' (very bad luck). This repetition emphasizes the hopelessness that the protagonist feels, as if they are doomed to suffer in love.

In the latter part of the song, the imagery of following a star ('Sigo tu huella, voy caminando tras de una estrella') symbolizes the pursuit of an unattainable dream. The 'loca esperanza' (crazy hope) of reaching the stars, which 'nunca se alcanzan' (can never be reached), further illustrates the futility of the protagonist's efforts. This metaphor not only reflects the personal struggle of the lover but also speaks to a universal human experience of chasing after something that remains perpetually out of reach. Through these evocative lyrics, Hernan Figueroa Reyes captures the essence of unfulfilled love and the heartache that accompanies it.
