La Primera Vez

The song "La Primera Vez" by Los Tres delves into themes of power, betrayal, and the consequences of one's actions. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who has risen to power through the streets, possibly through dubious means, as suggested by the line 'El poder que ahora te pudre' (The power that now rots you). This individual has asked for many favors and has gone to great lengths to please others, perhaps compromising their integrity in the process.

As the song progresses, the narrative shifts to a tone of retribution. The protagonist becomes sickened by betrayals and reacts by lashing out, only to realize that those actions might come back to haunt them. The streets that once were the source of power become obscured and lost in the shadows of remorse, indicating a fall from grace. The repeated lines 'Nunca he deseado mal a nadie / Esta es mi primera vez' (I have never wished harm upon anyone / This is my first time) suggest a break from the protagonist's usual character, driven by the overwhelming desire for vengeance.

The final verses of the song express a wish for the downfall of the person in power, to see them humiliated and to understand the gravity of their demise. It's a stark portrayal of the cycle of betrayal and the dark satisfaction found in witnessing the downfall of someone who has wronged others. The song serves as a cautionary tale about the corrupting influence of power and the inevitable consequences that follow a life of manipulation and betrayal.
