Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Deméter by Pascu Y Rodri from Spanish to English.

Intro

Hi, vegans and grass-eaters

Welcome to Dissecting History

With Pascu and Rodri

Intro

Today we bring you the goddess of farming

Demeter

Verse 1

Her dad ate her

Her little brother saved her

She fights ferocious Titans

She beat them all

Verse 1

They split the whole Earth

But not with her

Chorus 1

Goddess of harvest and bread

She doesn't plan to tell you her mysteries

They went to a wedding

She falls in love with her nephew Iasion

Zeus doesn't like it

And he hurls a deadly lightning bolt at him

He sleeps with her

And then he impregnates her

She gave birth to a beautiful girl

Poor Demeter

Verse 2

But Zeus gave her away

Hades came and kidnapped her

She went looking for her everywhere

But she didn't find her

Verse 2

I saw your brother, he was carrying her off

Zeus allowed it

Chorus 2

Angry, she leaves her home

And the Earth starts to dry out

She enters the service

Of a famous king that accepted her

She looks after his kids

She grows very fond of both of them

She bakes one

In the fireplace

To turn him into a god

Poor Demeter

Bridge

You, what's going on here?

Demeter, come back to me

Somebody make her come out

I don't know what to do without you

Let my little one go

Let her return and that's it

Hades sets her free

With a small condition

She will return to my realm every winter

And her mother finally calmed down

Chorus 3

She lent her chariot

To one of the kids she had cared for

She filled it with grain

And she teaches him to be a farmer

And with great effort

She teaches her mysteries

And all over Greece she set up

Festivals to Demeter

SONG MEANING

Get ready for a mythological roller-coaster! In “Deméter,” Pascu y Rodri turn the ancient Greek tale of the goddess of agriculture into a fast-paced musical comedy. The lyrics sprint through Demeter’s wild family drama: her father Cronos swallows her, her brother Zeus rescues her, she crushes the Titans, and she becomes the revered keeper of harvest, bread and closely guarded mysteries. Things get messy at a wedding when Demeter falls for her nephew Iasion. Zeus reacts with a lethal lightning bolt, then beds Demeter himself and spirits away their newborn daughter. The chaos escalates when Hades kidnaps that same daughter (Persephone), sending Demeter on a frantic, globe-trotting search that leaves the earth barren in her sorrow.

The song then spotlights Demeter’s furious strike: crops fail, mortals suffer, and even gods panic. Disguised, she babysits the sons of a mortal king, nearly makes one immortal by roasting him in a fireplace, and only quits when the family freaks out. Zeus finally negotiates: Persephone must spend each winter in the underworld with Hades, returning every spring to her mother. Demeter’s joy revives the fields and inspires grand Greek festivals in her honor, while she gifts agriculture to humankind. With rapid-fire humor and catchy riffs, Pascu y Rodri transform ancient tragedy into a cheeky anthem that explains nothing less than the changing seasons and the birth of farming celebrations across Greece.
