Culpa
A Lyrics

The song “Culpa” by A is a passionate and emotional piece about desire and forbidden fantasies. The lyrics begin with pleading for mercy, “Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison” which translates to “Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy”. It sets the tone for the song and signals that the singer feels guilty about what is to unfold.

The next lines, “Je ne dors plus, je te desire” (I can't sleep anymore, I desire you) reveal the extent of the intensity of their longing. The following lines “Prends moi, je suis a toi, mea culpa” (Take me, I'm yours, I'm guilty) demonstrate that the singer is willing to surrender themselves completely to their desire, despite knowing it to be wrong. The chorus repeats the “Kyrie eleison” and “Christe eleison” which shows that they are seeking forgiveness and redemption.

The second verse continues with the theme of surrendering to desire, “Je veux aller au bout de me fantasmes, je sais que see'est interdit, je suis folle. Je m'abandonne” (I want to go to the end of my fantasies, I know it is forbidden, I am crazy. I am letting myself go). It implies that the singer is aware of the consequences of their desires and still chooses to give in to them.

The bridge, “Je suis la et ailleurs, je veux tout, quand tu veux, comme tu veux” (I am here and somewhere else, I want everything, when you want, as you like) illustrates that the singer is completely devoted and willing to give everything they have to their lover, including their sanity.

Overall, the lyrics of “Culpa” delve into the complexities of desire and the lengths humans will go to satisfy them, even if it means sacrificing morality and sanity.
