Adios Lyrics in English Jaguares
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Adios by Jaguares from Spanish to English.
Adiós me dije una vez
Goodbye, I told myself once
Al sentir que me olvidaba y me iba de aquí
When I felt I was forgetting myself and leaving here
Y ahí me vi nacer
And there I saw myself being born
Entre pétalos, mosaicos y tu matriz
Among petals, mosaics, and your womb
Y esa sustancia que nutre
And that substance that nourishes
Los cambios universales
The universal changes
No estaba aquí y sentí morir
It wasn't here and I felt myself die
Adiós le dije al mar
Goodbye, I told the sea
Respirando entre burbujas de dolor
Breathing among bubbles of pain
Y esa sustancia que nutre
And that substance that nourishes
Los cambios universales
The universal changes
No estaba aquí y sentí morir
It wasn't here and I felt myself die
Y me fui, lejos de aquí
And I left, far from here
Donde todo lo demás es un pretexto
Where everything else is an excuse
Y me fui, como un delfín
And I left, like a dolphin
Comprendiendo que la luz es mi elemento
Understanding that light is my element
A Dios le pedí una vez
I asked God once
Que mis sombra y tu reflejo se puedan tocar
That my shadow and your reflection could touch
Dios fue letal
God was lethal
Su instinto y sus destinos se hicieron ver
His instinct and his destinies were revealed
Y esa sustancia que nutre
And that substance that nourishes
Los cambios de otra vida
The changes of another life
Vino por ti y te hizo subir
It came for you and made you rise
Y me fui, lejos de aquí
And I left, far from here
Donde todo lo demás es un pretexto
Where everything else is an excuse
Y me fui, como un delfín
And I left, like a dolphin
Comprendiendo que la luz es mi elemento
Understanding that light is my element
Y me fui, lejos de aquí
And I left, far from here
Donde todo lo demás es un pretexto
Where everything else is an excuse
Y me fui, como un delfín
And I left, like a dolphin
Comprendiendo que la luz es mi elemento
Understanding that light is my element

Did you like this lyrics translation?
matriz — womb
Matriz literally translates to "womb" or "matrix." It's a profound and somewhat unexpected word to find in a rock song, making it quite memorable.
In the lyrics, the phrase "Entre pétalos, mosaicos y tu matriz" paints a vivid, almost surreal image of rebirth or origin. It suggests a deep connection to creation and a primal source, elevating the song's themes beyond a simple farewell to something more existential and poetic.
