Quisiera Ser Alcohol Lyrics in English Caifanes
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Quisiera Ser Alcohol by Caifanes from Spanish to English.
Si mis plegarias no fueran
If my prayers were not
A la Virgen sino a ti
To the Virgin but to you
Qué pensarías? Qué dirías?
What would you think? What would you say?
Si de la noche soy un pedazo
If of the night I am a piece
De suelo que flota, entre tus sueños
Of ground that floats, among your dreams
Como una perla, te saco de lo oscuro
Like a pearl, I pull you from the dark
Te llamo por tu nombre
I call you by your name
Y digo que no puede ser
And I say that it can't be
Quisiera ser alcohol
I wish I were alcohol
Para evaporarme en tu interior
To evaporate inside you
Quisiera ser alcohol
I wish I were alcohol
Para evaporarme de una vez
To evaporate at once
Y sentir lo que es pasión
And to feel what passion is
Y sentir que soy querido
And to feel that I am loved
Si algún día me miras
If someday you look at me
Abrazado de tu sombra
Embraced by your shadow
No me separes, déjame sólo
Don't separate me, leave me alone
Sin movimiento, como una lágrima
Without movement, like a tear
Que corre por tu cuerpo
That runs down your body
Lamiéndote la piel
Licking your skin
Quisiera ser alcohol
I wish I were alcohol
Para evaporarme en tu interior
To evaporate inside you
Quisiera ser alcohol
I wish I were alcohol
Para evaporarme de una vez
To evaporate at once
Y sentir lo que es pasión
And to feel what passion is
Y sentir que soy querido
And to feel that I am loved

Did you like this lyrics translation?
plegarias — prayers
Plegarias translates to "prayers." While the word "prayer" itself isn't rare, its use in this context is particularly striking and sets a unique tone for the song.
The lyrics open with "Si mis plegarias no fueran a la Virgen sino a ti" (If my prayers weren't to the Virgin but to you). This line immediately establishes a profound, almost sacred devotion to another person, elevating human love to a spiritual level. It's an evocative choice that makes the listener ponder the depth of the singer's feelings.
