CONTENTS SUMMARY
1. Ven A Mi (Come To Me)
tornillo
Qué belleza de mujer
Me gusta tu cuerpo y besar toda tu piel
Salgamos esta noche, nadie lo va a saber
Te pones coqueta en tus ojos lo puedo ver
What a beautiful woman
I like your body and to kiss all your skin
Let's go out tonight, nobody is going to know
You get flirty, in your eyes I can see it

Ven A Mi (“Come to Me”) plunges us into a late-night adventure where magnetism, secrecy and barrio swagger collide. Tornillo, rising from the Mexican rap scene, sings to a woman whose beauty leaves him spellbound. He praises her body, her playful gaze and the electric pull they share, all while promising a covert rendezvous that “nobody will know.” The lyrics drip with confidence: he’ll protect her, stay loyal “con dinero o sin dinero,” and even set the streets on fire for her if anyone dares to hurt her.

Beneath the flirtatious chorus lies a glimpse of gritty romance. Tornillo hints at the barrios where “good girls fall for criminals,” spotlighting a love that refuses to fit the rules. He urges her to turn off her phone, ignore the outside world and simply surrender to the moment. In short, the song is a bold mix of devotion and danger, celebrating a passion so intense it feels like a drug—and asking the listener to embrace that thrilling, forbidden spark.

2. Guerrero Verde. (Green Warrior)
Luzbel
Sigiloso caminas
Tras la sombra de la sangre
No hay conciencia divina
Que pare tu fuego
You walk stealthily
Behind the shadow of blood
There's no divine conscience
that stops your fire

Picture a soldier whose uniform shines green under a ruthless sun. Luzbel’s “Guerrero Verde” paints this figure as a living weapon, someone who stalks quietly, fuels his purpose with gunfire, and measures glory by the weight of a medal pinned to his chest. The lyrics describe a man who treats the crunch of bones like music, a “highlighted student of hell,” proud of turning battlefields into graveyards. Instead of celebrating heroism, the song exposes the dark transformation that war forces on people — how duty can twist into a perverse thrill for destruction.

In other words, the green warrior is an anti-hero. He is portrayed as a heartless machine, running like a beast to crush his prey until even living feels like torture. By repeating the line “Guerrero verde, hijo de la muerte,” Luzbel warns us about the seductive power of violence and the cost of glorifying conflict. The track mixes vivid imagery with heavy riffs to make listeners question what happens when humanity is replaced by steel nerves and blackened thoughts.

3. Pasaporte Al Infierno (Passport To Hell)
Luzbel
De ingratitud es mi aliento
De hipocresía mi mirada
Sólo la mentira me hace contento
De mi la verdad ya está cansada
My breath is ingratitude
My gaze is hypocrisy
Only the lie makes me happy
The truth is already tired of me

🔥 “Pasaporte Al Infierno” paints a fiery self-portrait of a narrator who proudly embodies every vice: hypocrisy, betrayal, greed, violence, and environmental destruction. Luzbel uses vivid, almost bragging confessions to show someone who has broken the Ten Commandments, lives by lies, and treats science and demagogy as twin tools of ruin. The repeated line “Tengo pasaporte al infierno, directo y sin regreso” (I have a one-way passport to hell) drives home the idea of irreversible moral downfall.

🎸 Yet the twist comes at the end when the singer points a finger at us: “Y tú también estás en el vuelo.” The song is less about one evil individual and more a warning that modern humanity – with its wars, pollution, and empty promises – may be boarding that same flight. Wrapped in heavy-metal intensity, the track urges listeners to question their own complicity, wake up to the damage being done, and change course before the ticket is stamped for good.

4. La Leyenda Del Hada Y El Mago (The Legend Of The Fairy And The Wizard)
Rata Blanca
Cuenta la historia de un mago
Que un día en su bosque encantado lloró
Porque a pesar de su magia
No había podido encontrar el amor
Tells the story of a wizard
Who one day cried in his enchanted forest
Because despite his magic
He hadn't been able to find love

Imagine stepping into a misty, enchanted forest where a lonely wizard gazes at the moon, his only confidant in a life without love. La Leyenda del Hada y el Mago sweeps us into this magical world, telling how the sorcerer’s heartache vanishes the instant he locks eyes with a radiant fairy whose sweetness he has never known. Their bond sparks an instant, spellbinding romance that turns the silent woods into a haven of affection.

Yet even fairytales face darkness. A sinister force, bitter at their happiness, strikes the fairy with a cruel curse, plunging her into a deep, emotionless sleep. Driven by newfound love, the wizard refuses to surrender. Night after night he hunts for a spell strong enough to shatter the enchantment and revive her gentle gaze. In the end, the song delivers a powerful message: true love fuels unwavering hope and resilience, and the wizard’s faith promises that one day the fairy will awaken so they can share eternity together.

5. Ika-nun-na
Black Hate
Bajo el cobijo del tiempo
Escondido en nuestras raíces
Ellos saben quién son
Hijos del viento y el sol
Under the shelter of time
Hidden in our roots
They know who they are
Children of the wind and the sun

Black Hate’s “Ika-nun-na” feels like stepping into a timeless ritual. The lyrics open “under the shelter of time,” calling up buried roots and naming us “children of wind and sun.” Repeated chants of Ika-nun-na work like a spell, inviting listeners to travel beyond ordinary reality and into a cosmic dreamscape where ancient identities awaken. Sky-written names, universal illusions, and echoing invocations paint a scene that is both primordial and futuristic, hinting at Mexico’s pre-Hispanic myths while swirling in modern dark-metal mystique.

The song’s story circles around creation, chaos, and rebirth. A fading star, a winged serpent, and a “black circle” signal the collapse of an old world. Yet this very collapse sparks revelation—the true light bursts through, pointing the way back to an “alternate reality” where everything can begin again. In other words, destruction is not an end but a reset button: by facing darkness and chaos, we remember who we really are and rediscover the path home. “Ika-nun-na” ultimately feels like a sonic phoenix, reminding us that within every ending hides the promise of a dazzling new dawn.

6. Tristeza De Lucifer (Lucifer's Sadness)
Transmetal
Muy tarde para reconciliar
Todas mis lágrimas no han lavado el dolor que carcome todo mi ser
Sepultado con mi rabia mi corazón se volvió hielo
Tu sentencia es muerte y me ahogo en tristeza en tristeza
Very late to reconcile
All my tears have not washed away the pain that eats away at my whole being
Buried with my anger, my heart turned to ice
Your sentence is death and I drown in sadness, in sadness

Tristeza de Lucifer thrusts listeners into a storm of heartbreak, rage, and unrelenting sorrow. The narrator has cried rivers of lágrimas de furia, yet the pain still gnaws at his very core. With his heart turned to ice, he rejects any notion of forgiveness, vows death upon his betrayer, and refuses to lift his eyes toward the “pale sky” of redemption.

By stepping into Lucifer’s own shadow, Mexican metal icons Transmetal transform personal anguish into an epic tale of apocalyptic vengeance. The song reminds us that grief, when buried instead of healed, can swell into destructive fury that crushes everything in its path. Crank up the volume, let the riffs roar, and discover how Spanish lyrics can channel the darkest corners of the soul while expanding your English vocabulary.

7. Rostro Maligno (Evil Face)
Transmetal
Esperas con ansia mi alma en tu morada infernal
Quieres verme en tus filas
Tu rostro arrogante altivo
Se burla de mi espíritu y gritas victoria
You eagerly await my soul in your infernal abode
You want to see me in your ranks
Your arrogant, haughty face
Mocks my spirit and shouts victory

Rostro Maligno is a fierce Mexican thrash-metal showdown between human will and raw evil. The narrator feels the devil himself circling, arrogantly waiting to recruit another soul into his “morada infernal,” while mocking every spark of hope. Each screamed ¡Satán! is both an accusation and a challenge: Do you ever tire of so much wickedness? The singer exposes how pride, lust, and violence are Satan’s favorite weapons, aiming to tear down everything true and pure so he can install his own twisted kingdom.

Far from giving in, the song’s voice fights back with relentless guitars and defiant questions, turning the track into a sonic exorcism. By the end, listeners are left with a surge of adrenaline and a clear message: evil may be loud and persistent, but awareness and resistance can be just as powerful. Let the riffs roar—and keep your spirit unbroken.

8. El Infierno De Dante (Dante's Hell)
Transmetal
Tirado y enfermo
En un maloliente camastro
Mujeres en vil soledad
Jamás verás un amanecer
Thrown and sick
On a stinking cot
Women in vile loneliness
You will never see a dawn

Strap on your headphones and step into a blazing soundscape where Transmetal paints a brutal portrait of a personal hell. El Infierno De Dante drags the listener through a sickbed stench, lonely women, and blood-soaked streets where poets fall and the sky itself bleeds. Drawing inspiration from Dante Alighieri’s classic journey through the underworld, the lyrics erupt with visions of demons, diamonds, and endless night, all driven by riffs that make the torment feel frighteningly real.

Yet this inferno is more than a horror show; it is a mirror held to a dying conscience. Every grotesque image stands for regret, addiction, and choices that can never be reversed. The pounding refrain Es tu infierno hammers home the message: this is your own creation, and no dawn will break until you confront it. Raw, relentless, and darkly reflective, the song dares us to face our inner shadows before they become an eternal cage.

9. Tumbas De Insomnio (Tombs Of Insomnia)
Transmetal
Con enfermo frenesí
Ardiendo está tu tumba
Donde la luz nunca iluminó
Tu insomnio en penumbra
With sick frenzy
Burning is your grave
Where the light never shone
Your insomnia in half-light

Imagine being trapped in a grave that never lets you sleep. That is the chilling picture Transmetal paints in Tumbas De Insomnio. Over blistering guitars, the Mexican metal legends plunge us into a nightmarish cemetery where flames flicker, shadows writhe, and every breath tastes like fear. The tomb is not in the ground but inside the mind, and its walls are built from sleepless nights, guilt, and unending dread.

Through vivid images of "sinister hands" tearing faces and "black ink clouds" spilling rage, the song turns insomnia into a personal underworld. Light never reaches this place, so horror reigns unchecked while distant voices remind the tormented soul of past mistakes. In the end, the only escape hinted at is to "close the curtains" on these relentless thoughts and let someone else guide you toward peace. Tumbas De Insomnio is a raw, poetic warning: ignore your inner demons too long and your own mind can become a fiery grave that never lets you rest.

10. Muerto En La Cruz (Dead On The Cross)
Transmetal
Empapado en sangre
Sus ojos miran hacia el sol
Acero hundido en la carne
Clavado y muerto en la cruz
Soaked in blood
His eyes look towards the sun
Steel sunk into the flesh
Nailed and dead on the cross

Brace yourself for a visceral ride. “Muerto En La Cruz” splashes graphic, almost cinematic images of a crucifixion across a backdrop of pounding Mexican thrash metal. Blood drips, steel pierces flesh, and hungry vultures circle overhead, creating a tableau that feels ripped from a horror film. Through this stark scene, Transmetal invites us to stare directly at suffering and cruelty rather than look away, using the brutality to crank up the song’s adrenaline and intensity.

Beneath the gore lies a deeper message: a fierce denunciation of human wickedness and a rebellious refusal to be cowed by death. The victim’s eyes still seek the sun, hinting at defiance even in final moments, while onlookers’ “perverse visions” expose society’s appetite for violence. By pushing these extremes, the band turns horror into catharsis, urging listeners to confront darkness head-on, question their own capacity for cruelty, and channel that energy into raw, liberating metal power.

11. México Bárbaro (Barbarian Mexico)
Transmetal
Época grotesca, mentiras, corrupción
Signos de pobreza, formas del dolor
La sangre inútil manchando
Visiones que contradicen al Dios
Grotesque era, lies, corruption
Signs of poverty, forms of pain
The useless blood staining
Visions that contradict the God

México Bárbaro is Transmetal’s fierce spotlight on the darker side of modern Mexico. With pulverizing riffs and guttural vocals, the band paints a nightmarish picture of lies, corruption and poverty that leave “blood and desolation” in their wake. The repeated cry of “México Bárbaro” acts like a brutal alarm siren, warning listeners that the nation’s social fabric is being torn apart while the powerful—mocked here as “pigs” full of hypocrisy—feast on their own greed.

Yet the song is more than pure anger; it is a rallying call. By cataloguing excesivo dolor and the misery forced on the most vulnerable, Transmetal urges us to confront injustice instead of looking away. The track’s raw energy invites you to bang your head, but its message invites you to open your eyes: until corruption is challenged and human life is valued, the barbarity will rage on.

12. Solitaria Muerte Por Melancolía (Lonely Death By Melancholy)
Transmetal
Percibo con angustia la hora en que se apodera de mi
Cuando mis ideas confusas me traen solamente tristeza
En esta tumba del llanto suicidarme es mi prioridad
Dolorosos sentimientos me orillan a morir en soledad
I perceive with anguish the moment when it takes over me
When my confused ideas bring me only sadness
In this tomb of crying, suicide is my priority
Painful feelings push me to die in solitude

Solitaria Muerte Por Melancolía plunges listeners into the raw core of extreme melancholy. Mexico’s metal titans Transmetal paint a night-time landscape where confusion, sadness and overwhelming pain tighten their grip on the narrator’s mind. Each verse is a cry from a soul that feels trapped in a “tomb of weeping,” unable to find daylight, with the only perceived escape being death itself. The pounding riffs and guttural vocals amplify this despair, turning private thoughts of self-destruction into a visceral musical storm that demands the listener’s attention.

Yet beyond the graphic imagery of tears, solitude and the repeated wish to be “muerto,” the song serves as a stark reminder of how depression distorts reality. By exposing the darkest corners of human emotion, Transmetal invite us to confront mental anguish rather than ignore it. Beneath the aggressive instrumentation lies a universal plea: understand the weight of hopelessness, recognize its urgency, and remember that even in the deepest night there is value in reaching out for help.

13. Muerto Es Mejor (Dead Is Better)
Transmetal
Observo el cielo no siempre azul
La ruina implacable se abraza de mi
Arrojando los brazos de mi madre desgracia
Miserable ante los ojos de sarcástica y apatía
I observe the sky not always blue
The relentless ruin embraces me
Throwing the arms of my mother disgrace
Miserable before the eyes of sarcastic and apathy

**“Muerto Es Mejor” plunges us into a bleak inner landscape where hope has crumbled and the very sky has lost its comforting blue. Through images of ruina implacable, dripping blood, and a “horrific moon,” Transmetal paints a portrait of someone trapped between life and death, suffocated by apathy all around them. The repeated plea — Muerto es mejor, sepúltame ya — is not simply morbid; it is a desperate cry for release from a world that feels like an “infame paraíso,” a paradise gone rotten.

At its core, the song is a raw meditation on existential despair. Each verse piles on sensations of confinement, bitterness, and futility until the only escape seems to be the grave. Yet, in classic metal fashion, this darkness isn’t meant to defeat the listener. Instead, it confronts us with the uncomfortable truth that acknowledging our deepest anguish can be strangely liberating. By wrestling with themes of isolation and sterile destiny, Transmetal invites fans to shout back at the void — turning pain into cathartic power, riff by thunderous riff.

14. Regresando Odio (Returning Hate)
Asesino
¡Odio!
Traicionado por el patrón
A la ch******!
Con poder de el infierno
Hate!
Betrayed by the boss
To h*ll!
With power from h*ll

"Regresando Odio" channels pure, unfiltered rage. The narrator has been betrayed by a higher-up and now vows to repay that treachery with equal—or greater—violence. Every shout of “¡Odio!” (hate) is a pulse of searing anger, while phrases like “trato con demonios” paint revenge as something almost supernatural. Instead of seeking forgiveness, the singer strikes a dark bargain: unleash infernal power and drench the betrayer in their own blood.

Beneath the brutal language, the song captures a universal emotion—what happens when trust is broken so deeply that only vengeance feels satisfying. It is a cathartic anthem for anyone who has ever fantasized about confronting their oppressor head-on. Expect heavy guitars, relentless drums, and lyrics that tap into primal instincts, reminding listeners that unchecked hatred can turn a person into a force as fierce as the demons they invoke.

15. Aún Estás En Mis Sueños (You're Still In My Dreams)
Rata Blanca
Hoy desperte con un monton
De marcas en mi piel
Alguien por la noche me las dejo
Quiero saber
Today I woke up with a ton
Of marks on my skin
Someone left them on me at night
I want to know

“Aún Estás en Mis Sueños” invites us into a midnight fantasy where love and rock-and-roll mysticism collide. The Argentine band Rata Blanca tells the story of someone who wakes up covered in mysterious marks and surrounded by an enticing perfume. Convinced that a dream-lover has crossed the border between sleep and reality, the narrator is caught in an irresistible spell. Every night he feels her warmth, her “sweet magic” that makes him lose all sense of reason, blurring the line between what is imagined and what is possible.

Determined to bring this elusive love into the daylight, the protagonist consults mirrors and mythical elves, hunting for the perfect enchantment that can fuse dreams with reality. The song mixes classic rock riffs with fairy-tale imagery, celebrating the power of desire and the belief that love can defy logic. It is both a romantic anthem and a playful homage to fantasy, reminding listeners that sometimes the heart refuses to wake up—and that is where the real magic begins.

16. Ardo Por Dentro (I Burn Inside)
WarCry
Están equivocados, viven su propio engaño
Todos aquellos que se empeñan en que caiga mi telón
Soy una vieja cicatriz
Los golpes de la vida, el paso de los años
They are mistaken, they live their own deception
All those who insist that my curtain should fall
I am an old scar
The blows of life, the passage of years

Ardo Por Dentro by the Spanish power-metal band WarCry is a rallying cry for anyone who has ever been told to step aside. The title translates to I Burn Inside, and the lyrics paint a picture of a protagonist who carries the scars of time but refuses to dim his inner fire. Critics say it is time for his “jubilación,” yet he insists his passion still blazes “with the strength of the flames of hell.”

Rather than surrendering to age, public opinion, or the relentless ticking of the clock, the singer chooses to roar back at the world. Each chorus is a declaration of undying resolve: he may move a little slower, but his determination is fiercer than ever. The song celebrates perseverance, self-belief, and the exhilarating feeling of proving doubters wrong—reminding us that as long as our spirit burns, even a single step forward keeps the journey alive.

17. Libre Como El Viento (Free Como El Viento)
WarCry
Sé muy bien lo que hay que decir
Mas no voy a mentir, lo siento
Lo que opines de mí me da igual
I know
I know very well what to say
But I'm not going to lie, I'm sorry
What you think of me doesn't matter to me

“Libre Como El Viento” is WarCry’s rallying cry for anyone who refuses to let outside voices drown out their own. Over a surge of energetic guitars, the Spanish power-metal band’s singer looks critics straight in the eye and says, in essence, “Your opinion won’t cage me.” The verses call out gossip, judgment, and attempts to control, while the chorus explodes with the promise to keep shouting the truth to the sky. It is equal parts rebellion and self-affirmation, inviting listeners to turn up the volume on their convictions.

By repeating the image of being “free like the wind,” the song paints freedom as something natural, unstoppable, and everywhere at once. WarCry insists that the heart is the best compass and that a silenced mouth becomes its own prison. Instead of burying thoughts, the band champions airing them out in the open, living boldly, and trusting that authenticity will steer life in the right direction. The result is an empowering anthem that urges you to break chains, crank the music, and let your true voice travel as far as the wind can carry it.

18. Transmetal
Transmetal
Aumenta el volumen ya
Quieres oír algo brutal
Poder que te haga explotar
Y tus oídos sangrar
Increase the volume now
You want to hear something brutal
Power that makes you explode
And your ears bleed

Ready for a sonic thrill ride? "Transmetal" is a high-octane anthem that begs you to twist the volume knob until it threatens to snap. With every verse the Mexican metal legends invite you to experience pure auditory overload—riffs so fast and heavy they promise to make your ears bleed and your heart race.

Lyrically the song is a metalhead’s manifesto: an unapologetic pledge to deliver unrelenting power, blistering speed, and no-mercy aggression until your senses are completely overwhelmed. It is not just music; it is an explosion of energy that shatters limits and celebrates the liberating chaos of extreme metal.

19. Cobarde (Cobards)
WarCry
¿Quién lo sabía? ¿Quién lo pensó?
Nada en sus gestos lo delató
Nadie la oía, nadie la vio
Girar la cara a su dolor
Who knew it? Who thought it?
Nothing in his gestures gave him away
No one heard her, no one saw her
Turn her face to her pain

Cobarde delivers a hard‐hitting narrative wrapped in WarCry’s signature power‐metal energy. The lyrics paint the picture of an outwardly cheerful woman who strolls through the park like an angel, but behind her warm smile she hides the bruises of domestic abuse. Friends and neighbors miss the subtle signs, while she clings to the hope that “he could change someday,” crying in secret to silence the painful truth.

When the chorus erupts, vocalist Víctor García can no longer stay silent. He spits out a fiery curse on anyone who lifts a hand against a woman and brands the abuser a coward—the strongest word the song repeats like a battle cry. “Cobarde” is more than a song; it is a call to awareness, empathy, and zero tolerance for violence, urging listeners to protect and believe victims before it is too late.

20. Una Flor En La Tempestad (A Flower In The Storm)
Ailyn Giménez
Los pétalos son hermosos
No los dejes escapar
Veo una abertura en el cielo
Entre las nubes, extendiéndose eternamente
The petals are beautiful
Don't let them escape
I see an opening in the sky
Among the clouds, stretching eternally

Una Flor En La Tempestad invites you to picture a single, delicate blossom standing firm while thunder rumbles overhead. Spanish singer Ailyn Giménez weaves images of falling petals, guiding light, and a clearing sky to tell a story of resilience: even when dreams seem to drift like clouds, faith and inner strength can root you to the ground. The narrator clings to a promise, trusts in God, and believes that after every storm the sun will rise, carrying the fragrance of renewed hope.

Rather than giving in to fear, the song celebrates choosing courage—holding on until the lluvia stops, watching flowers fly on the wind, and feeling tears turn into a dance of springtime. It is an anthem for anyone determined to keep walking through life’s dark forest toward a waiting soulmate, guided by petals that glow like tiny lanterns in the night. In short, Ailyn’s lyrics urge you to fight for your dreams, cherish moments of beauty, and remember there is always “a flower in the tempest.”

21. Amistad
WarCry
Déjame
Hoy es un día para olvidar
Créeme
Lo que podría ha ido mal
Let me
Today is a day to forget
Believe me
What could have gone wrong

WarCry’s “Amistad” (Friendship) is like an early-morning toast to the power of good company. The lyrics open on a terrible day where everything that could go wrong has gone wrong, yet a determined friend drags the singer out for a night on the town. As the drinks flow and the sun starts to rise, the world seems to shift: problems shrink, clarity grows, and one truth shines brighter than the dawn itself—nothing matters more than your friend at your side.

Behind the clinking glasses, the song slips in a deeper lesson. Troubles often look impossible up close, but a little distance—whether through laughter, time, or a shared bottle—helps us see simple solutions. “Amistad” celebrates that magic moment when burdens melt away and you suddenly remember what really counts. It is an energetic, feel-good reminder that friendship can turn even the darkest night into a brand-new day.
