Quiero morir en tu veneno
Alejandro Sanz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La oscuridad nuestra canción
Y ya soy feliz
Eres la inspiración
Tú creas y eres creación
Eres odio y querer
Ven te daré todos mis sueños
Y así no se vivir
Si aunque no quiera pienso en ti
Y el fuego en que me quemo
Quiero morir en tu veneno
Beberlo de tu piel y mi piel
Me pierdo en la realidad
Tu luz me guía si al soñar
Te busco mi amor
Tú tan perfecta sólo tú
Producto de mi imaginación
Por ti pierdo la razón
Ven a romperme de deseo
Quiero morir en tu veneno
Sin ti no sé vivir
Que sufro más sin tu sufrir
Quémame en tu fuego
Quiero morir en tu veneno
Veneno de tu piel
Sí tápame los ojos y dame de beber
Antes que salga el sol
Sí bebete la vida, pero hazlo de una vez
Ven te daré todos mis sueños
Que vivo de ilusiones
Y así no se vivir
Si aunque no quiera pienso en ti
Y el fuego en que me quemo
Quiero morir en tu veneno
Beberlo de tu piel y mi piel
In "Quiero morir en tu veneno", Alejandro Sanz sings about a passionate and intoxicating love. The song is very sensual and full of desire. In the first verse, he describes being with his lover in his room, where darkness is their song, and he is already happy to be with her. He continues by saying that she is his inspiration, and she is both hate and love. This is a powerful description of how love can encompass the whole spectrum of emotions.
In the chorus, he offers his dreams to her, as he lives in illusions and cannot live without her. He thinks about her even when he doesn't want to, and the fire that burns inside him is what he wants to die in. He wants to drink her venom, which he describes as both hers and his, as they are intertwined. The second verse continues with the idea that he gets lost in reality, but her light guides him when he dreams. She is the most perfect thing, only she is a product of his imagination, but for her, he loses his mind.
In the second chorus, he begs her to come and break him with desire. He wants to die in her poison, and without her, he cannot live. He suffers more when she is not suffering, and he wants to be burned in her fire. The song ends with him offering his dreams to her again, and he wants to drink her poison from her skin and his skin.
Overall, "Quiero morir en tu veneno" is about the all-consuming love that can take over a person's life. The passion and desire that are present in the lyrics convey the power of love, and how it can affect someone's emotions completely. The song is a beautiful tribute to this sensual and intense love.
