Bisiesto translates to "leap" as in "leap year." It's a unique and specific word that isn't commonly found in song lyrics, making it memorable and intriguing.
In the song, the phrase "año bisiesto" (leap year) is used metaphorically to signify a love that died on a rare, perhaps fated, or even cursed day. It adds a layer of poetic depth to the heartbreak, suggesting the love's demise was as unusual and significant as a leap year itself.
Have you ever had an ex try to win you back after it's way too late? Monsieur Periné's "Año Bisiesto" [Leap Year] is all about that feeling! Our singer is looking back at a past love, remembering their first kiss and how their partner's hands used to make them feel. But now, that person is trying to get back into their life, showing up with flowers and serenades, and even asking friends if the singer has moved on.
But it's no use! The singer is clear: "mi amor por ti murió en año bisiesto" [my love for you died in a leap year]. It's a really clever way to say that the love is truly gone, like a day that only comes once every four years. They're ready to "entierro tu recuerdo" [bury your memory]. It's a beautiful, slightly melancholic song about moving on when someone finally realizes what they lost.
