Martes 13 Lyrics in English by Panter Bélico
Perdición translates to "perdition" or "ruin." It's a strong and dramatic word that goes beyond simple loss, implying a state of utter destruction or damnation.
In "Martes 13," the singer uses perdición to describe the destructive path he's on due to a lost love. He sings, "Y ahora vivo entre labiales, el humo y la perdición" (And now I live among lipsticks, smoke, and perdition), painting a vivid picture of a life spiraling out of control. Later, he directly tells his former lover, "Tus ojos, sabes, son mi perdición" (Your eyes, you know, are my perdition), highlighting how deeply her memory affects him.
Panter Bélico's "Martes 13" is a really honest and relatable song about trying to get over someone you loved deeply. Our singer admits, "De tanto buscarte me he perdido" [I've lost myself from looking for you so much], showing how consumed he was by the relationship. He wasn't a drinker before, but now he's "entre labiales, el humo y la perdición" [among lipsticks, smoke, and perdition], which really paints a picture of someone trying to drown their sorrows and maybe make some bad choices to forget.
He calls his ex "el 13 de mis martes" [the 13 of my Tuesdays], which is a clever way of saying she's his bad luck, his unlucky day. Even though it was "sencillo amarte y difícil decir adiós" [easy to love you and hard to say goodbye], he's clearly struggling. He remembers the good times, asking her to "Recuerda poquito lo bonito que vivimos" [Remember a little bit the beautiful things we lived], especially those moments "desde lunes a domingo" [from Monday to Sunday] on the couch. He even says, "No me impresiona ninguna cadera / Mi güera, te digo, eres mi vida entera" [No other hips impress me / My blonde, I tell you, you are my whole life], showing just how much he still adores her. It's a bittersweet look at love lost, with him trying to move on but still holding onto those precious memories.
