Verano Lyrics in English Caramelos de Cianuro

Home / Lyrics translation / Caramelos de Cianuro / Verano

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Verano by Caramelos de Cianuro from Spanish to English.

Iluminada madrugada luces

Illuminated dawn lights

Del horizonte

From the horizon

Donde aprendimos del amor

Where we learned about love

Juntos en un mirador

Together at a viewpoint

Recuerda bien el sitio donde tú creciste

Remember well the place where you grew up

Porque ahora esa ciudad ya no existe

Because now that city no longer exists

Ahora tu vista me arrastra, me agarra

Now your gaze drags me, grabs me

Me amarra y me castra

Ties me up and castrates me

Y este maldito verano

And this damned summer

Que me tiene dolidas las manos

That has my hands aching

En mi cama sudando por ti

In my bed sweating for you

Yo no pienso vivir

I don't plan to live

Pues son los mismos engaños

For they're the same deceptions

Que ahora sé detectar con los años

That now I know to detect over the years

Y la dura lección que aprendí

And the hard lesson I learned

Es que no espero más por ti

Is that I don't wait for you anymore

Nos despertamos en la playa

We woke up on the beach

Entre Viviana y nirvana

Between Viviana and nirvana

La noche en que te di el reloj uno nueve nueve dos

The night I gave you the watch one nine nine two

Recuerdo que la arena no era tan oscura

I remember that the sand wasn't so dark

Ni que tu voluntad no era tan dura

Nor that your will wasn't so strong

Ahora tus ojos perforan

Now your eyes pierce

Confunden me hunden, me ignoran

Confuse, sink me, ignore me

Y este maldito verano

And this damned summer

Que me tiene dolidas las manos

That has my hands aching

En mi cama sudando por ti

In my bed sweating for you

Yo no pienso vivir

I don't plan to live

Pues son los mismos engaños

For they're the same deceptions

Que ahora se detectar con los años

That now I know to detect over the years

Y la dura lección que aprendí

And the hard lesson I learned

Es que no espero más por ti

Is that I don't wait for you anymore

No sé porque te veo en sueños

I don't know why I see you in dreams

En blanco y negro como los perros

In black and white like dogs

Ni por qué despierto temblando

Nor why I wake up trembling

Si es el medio del verano

If it's the middle of summer

Que me tiene dolidas las manos

That has my hands aching

En mi cama sudando por ti

In my bed sweating for you

Yo no pienso vivir

I don't plan to live

Pues son los mismos engaños

For they're the same deceptions

Que ahora se detectar con los años

That now I know to detect over the years

Y la dura lección que aprendí

And the hard lesson I learned

Es que no espero más por ti

Is that I don't wait for you anymore

Did you like this lyrics translation?

castra — castrates

Castra literally means "castrates" or "emasculates." It's a very strong and somewhat shocking verb to encounter in a song, making it instantly memorable and intriguing.

In the lyrics, the phrase "me arrastra, me agarra, me amarra y me castra" (it drags me, it grabs me, it ties me up and it castrates me) is used metaphorically. The singer is expressing how the intense and overwhelming emotions of this "maldito verano" (cursed summer) and the person's gaze are completely stripping him of his will, power, and sense of self, leaving him feeling utterly helpless and diminished.
