Fugaz translates to "fleeting" or "ephemeral". It's a poetic and evocative word often used to describe something that passes quickly, like a shooting star.
In the song, the artist sings, "Tú fuiste una estrella fugaz, yo nunca te pude alcanzar" (You were a shooting star, I could never reach you). This metaphor beautifully captures the idea of a love or a person that appeared briefly and then vanished, leaving a lasting impression but remaining just out of reach. It's a memorable word that adds a touch of melancholy and longing to the lyrics.
Have you ever felt like someone was out of your league, like they were from another universe? That's exactly how Santa RM feels in "Cosas Extrañas" [Strange Things]. He talks about wanting to "llevarte a la lona en cada verso" [take you to the mat in every verse], like he was fighting for this person, but ultimately feeling like they were a "estrella fugaz" [shooting star] he could never reach. He even says, "yo pensaba que encajaba que era una pieza en tu y después en la canción y frustración" [I thought I fit, that I was a piece in you and then in the song and frustration], showing that initial hope turn into disappointment.
He describes a lot of conflicting emotions, like wanting to "salvar princesas" [save princesses] but ending up as their "presa" [prey]. It's all these "cosas extrañas que en mi mente se atraviesan" [strange things that cross my mind] that he can't shake. Even though he calls this person his "fortaleza" [fortress], he knows "el juego no se acaba sé que esto apenas empieza" [the game isn't over, I know this is just beginning]. It's a really honest look at a complicated connection, where he gave his all, "todo lo que hice fue de cora" [everything I did was from the heart], but it just wasn't meant to be in the way he wanted.
