Piel de Diciembre

Piero's song 'Piel de Diciembre' is a poignant reflection on a fleeting love that left a lasting impact. The lyrics convey the story of a man who feels weary and seeks connection, only to find a love that was as ephemeral as the month of December. The phrase 'piel de diciembre' (December skin) metaphorically represents a love that was brief and cold, much like the winter month. This love came into his life unexpectedly and left just as quickly, leaving him with a sense of longing and nostalgia.

The song's verses paint vivid imagery of the man's emotional state and his surroundings. He describes himself as someone tired from within, searching for an encounter, and extending his hand in hopes of finding another. This imagery suggests a deep sense of loneliness and a desire for companionship. The mention of 'arena de playa' (beach sand) and 'lluvia de gente' (rain of people) evokes memories of a summer romance, contrasting the warmth and vibrancy of summer with the coldness of December, symbolizing the transient nature of the relationship.

Piero's melancholic tone and the repetitive refrain 'Yo tuve un amor' (I had a love) emphasize the sorrow and resignation he feels. The love he experienced was intense and meaningful, yet it was fleeting, leaving him with only memories. The final lines, 'Nunca mas te vi...mi pasajera de la orilla' (I never saw you again...my passenger from the shore), encapsulate the essence of the song—a brief encounter that left a profound mark on his heart. Through 'Piel de Diciembre,' Piero captures the bittersweet beauty of a love that was never meant to last.
