A couple of years ago, I don't know anymore
What happiness is
I was happier
When I had zero in my account
I've been through it all
Even suicidal thoughts
I've achieved all my goals
And I can't get what I want
It's not the same to give current
As to be the electricity
Or to give warmth when they know I have the fire
These bastards do it all
Always for publicity
And they all go blind for the game
And fame is not happiness
Money is what gives us comfort
Sometimes I wonder what happened to my privacy
Now I don't leave my house without security
They throw mud at me, I don't do it, there's no need
I've never needed controversy
"Your product is pure," that's what Noah always said
I have the rank without graduating from university
Now I ride in the same cars as the doctors
They have to give me my credit
When I'm alive because I don't want him dead
I want real love, never generic
A lot of fake love, they don't even look at me in the face
The loyalty of some expires
They hug me from the front, but they throw me from behind
They throw me from behind, but they always turn around
Another tour, another three months away
I hardly sleep anymore
My dark circles are permanent
No one works like me
Ask whoever you want
I went through the whole process
We climbed the stairs
My fans are my best lawyers
In all the comments saying "underestimated"
I'm focused on you in my music
That's why you don't see me on social media
I'm retired, yeah
And fame is not happiness
Money is what gives us comfort
Sometimes I wonder what happened to my privacy
Now I don't leave my house without security
They throw mud at me, I don't do it, there's no need
I've never needed controversy
"Your product is pure," that's what Noah always said
I have the rank without graduating from university
Now I ride in the same cars as the doctors

ojerasdark circles under eyes

Ojeras refers to the dark circles or bags under one's eyes, often a sign of fatigue or lack of sleep. It's a specific and evocative word that paints a clear picture.

In the song, Eladio Carrion sings, "Ya no duermo casi nada / Son permanente' mis ojera'" (I hardly sleep anymore / My dark circles are permanent). This line powerfully conveys the toll that his demanding lifestyle and the pressures of fame have taken on him, making it a relatable and impactful word for listeners.

In "La Fama," Eladio Carrión explores the dark side of fame and success. He opens up about a surprising truth: he was happier when his bank account was at zero. Despite achieving all his goals, he feels that true happiness is still out of reach, even admitting to having had suicidal thoughts. The central message is crystal clear:

  • Fame is not happiness.
  • Money only brings comfort, not joy.

Carrión contrasts his authentic approach to music with others who chase publicity. He feels the pressure of his new life, from the loss of privacy that requires him to have security, to the exhaustion of constant touring. He craves real love and loyalty but finds himself surrounded by "fake love" from people who smile to his face but betray him behind his back. Through it all, he remains focused on his music for his fans, who he calls his best lawyers, and takes pride in his hard-earned success.
