Amor Plutónico

Los Delinqüentes' song 'Amor Plutónico' is a whimsical and humorous tale of an impossible love between two beings from different worlds. The narrative begins during a carnival in Cádiz, where the protagonist, Ignacio, meets Luisa Estela, who is dressed as a Martian. The playful setting of the carnival, with its costumes and disguises, sets the stage for a love story that transcends earthly boundaries.

The lyrics are filled with vivid imagery and clever metaphors that highlight the absurdity and challenges of their interplanetary romance. Ignacio humorously laments the difficulties of their relationship, such as trying to find the zipper on Luisa's alien costume and the impracticality of a dowry that includes a seven-eared dog. These exaggerated scenarios underscore the theme of love's irrationality and the lengths one might go to for a beloved, even if it means traveling to Pluto in a makeshift rocket.

The chorus poignantly captures the central conflict: 'Niña nuestro amor no puede ser, que tu eres de Plutón, y yo soy de Jerez.' This line emphasizes the insurmountable distance and differences between them, both literally and metaphorically. Despite the lighthearted tone, there's an underlying sense of melancholy as Ignacio realizes that their love, as enchanting as it is, cannot overcome the vast gulf between their worlds. The repeated refrain of 'frío, frío' (cold, cold) at the end of the song further accentuates the emotional distance and the inevitable end of their fantastical romance.
