Debajo De Tu Piel
Caifanes/Caifanes/Caifanes Lyrics

In "Debajo de tu piel," Caifanes is exploring the physical and emotional connection between two people. The first verse, "Si pudiera ver / Una lagrima / Mientras te beso entre incendios, / Te abrazaría para subirnos con el humo," translates to "If I could see a tear while I kiss you amidst the fires, I would embrace you and we would rise with the smoke." This suggests that the singer wants to be there for their lover, even during difficult times. They recognize that passion can come with pain, but they are willing to endure it for the sake of their connection.

The chorus, "Abajo de tu piel hay esmeraldas conquistadas, / Encima de tu piel hay una alfombra entre tus pies / Abajo de tu piel yo resucito y me derrito, / Encima de mi piel te guardo el aire que no hace daño," means "Below your skin are conquered emeralds, / Above your skin is a carpet beneath your feet / Under your skin I resurrect and melt, / Above my skin I keep safe the air that doesn't harm." These lines suggest that beneath the surface of their lover lies a treasure trove of emotion and experience, and that the singer feels refreshed and alive being near them. They are also willing to protect their lover from harm, symbolized by the "air that doesn't harm."

The second verse, "Ven, acércate. / Si pudiéramos escupir cometas, / Le ganaríamos al tiempo, / A la magia, al destino, / A la distancia, al olvido," translates to "Come, get closer / If we could spit out comets / We would beat time, / Magic, destiny, distance and oblivion." This suggests that the singer wishes for an even deeper connection with their lover, beyond the physical and emotional. They want to transcend the limits of time and space and become truly inseparable.

Overall, "Debajo de tu piel" is a passionate exploration of the beauty and depth of human connection, both physical and emotional. It celebrates the intensity and richness of life, even in difficult moments, and speaks to the power of love to heal and uplift.
