Los Tres Deseos

Catupecu Machu's song 'Los Tres Deseos' delves into themes of patience, hope, and the passage of time. The lyrics reflect a sense of anticipation and the longing for change, encapsulated in the metaphor of 'three wishes.' The singer expresses a feeling of waiting, as indicated by the lines 'Hace mas de un mes que me entero' and 'hace un día que espero,' which translate to 'It's been more than a month since I found out' and 'I've been waiting for a day.' This suggests a prolonged period of expectation, highlighting the human experience of waiting for something significant to happen.

The song also touches on the concept of time and its fluidity. The line 'Cuando menos pienso se para el tiempo' ('When I least expect it, time stops') suggests moments of introspection where time seems to stand still. This is contrasted with the idea that 'lo pasado pesado no pesa' ('the heavy past doesn't weigh'), indicating a release from past burdens. The imagery of the past disappearing and being carried away by the wind ('desaparece, se lo lleva el viento') further emphasizes the theme of moving forward and letting go.

Moreover, the lyrics convey a sense of relentless pursuit and resilience. The singer acknowledges that they often seek more than they find ('Busco mucho mas de lo que a veces encuentro'), yet they continue their quest without despair ('pero sigo igual busco, no desespero'). This persistence in the face of uncertainty and the hope for the fulfillment of their 'three wishes' underscores the song's message of enduring hope and the belief in eventual change.
