Efímero (feat. Esteban Rojas)

In 'Efímero,' Penyair, featuring Esteban Rojas, delves into the transient nature of fame, success, and material wealth. The song's title, which translates to 'Ephemeral,' sets the tone for a reflection on how fleeting these aspects of life can be. The lyrics juxtapose the allure of flights, money, and love with the realization that these are temporary and cannot replace the enduring value of family and genuine relationships. The repeated refrain, 'nada es para siempre' (nothing is forever), underscores this central theme.

Penyair's verses paint a vivid picture of the highs and lows of a life filled with luxury and public recognition. He describes a lifestyle of constant travel, designer clothes, and hotel stays, yet questions the true worth of fame without the grounding presence of family. The artist acknowledges the superficiality and hypocrisy that often accompany success, expressing a sense of disillusionment with the materialistic world. The line '¿Para qué fama quiero? Todo eso no igual a lo verdadero' (Why do I want fame? All that is not equal to the real) highlights his internal conflict and the realization that true happiness lies in authenticity and familial bonds.

Esteban Rojas' contribution further emphasizes the song's message. He reflects on how the pursuit of money can lead to a loss of values and connections, as people forget their roots and change their priorities. The imagery of 'cortar las alas' (cutting the wings) symbolizes the pain of losing one's freedom and dreams in the relentless chase for success. The song concludes with a poignant reminder that life offers only one chance, and it is essential to cherish the moments and relationships that truly matter.

'Efímero' is a powerful commentary on the ephemeral nature of worldly success and the enduring importance of family and authenticity. It resonates with anyone who has ever questioned the true value of material wealth and public acclaim, urging listeners to prioritize what is genuinely meaningful in life.
