Caramelos de Cianuro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se pario su linda conchita tricolor, nunca podre perdonarte.
Y no me digas que fue sin querer, no aceptare tus mentiras,
Tus escusas no me engañaran, yo se que siempre me has odiado.
Soy bueno y no pasa nad, soy malo y no pasa nada,
No hay diferenciacion lo extraño es que no pasa nada.
Sangre azul se pasea alegre por el piso,
Antes no captan nada del dolor que en su suave carne es expandio,
Tenerlos trae mala suerte, animales que sepan nadar
Siempre me han dicho que son mala suerte.
The lyrics to Caramelos de Cianuro's song El Caracol tell the story of a betrayed individual who is seeking justice for the harm caused to a defenseless snail. The first line, "Que paso que me pisaste el caracol, sabes que era innocente" translates to "What happened that you stepped on the snail? You know it was innocent." The singer is angered by the lack of remorse shown by the perpetrator and their unwillingness to take responsibility for their actions.
The second and third lines, "Se pario su linda conchita tricolor, nunca podre perdonarte. Y no me digas que fue sin querer, no aceptare tus mentiras," mean "Its beautiful tricolored shell was born, and I will never forgive you. And don't tell me it was unintentional, I won't accept your lies." The singer emphasizes the snail's innocence and beauty, contrasting it with the perpetrator's lack of empathy and honesty.
The song further explores the idea of animosity and injustice in society, as seen in the lines "Soy bueno y no pasa nad, soy malo y no pasa nada, No hay diferenciacion lo extraño es que no pasa nada." This highlights the idea that societal standards tend to be unfair and that individuals can potentially get away with mistreating others without any consequences. The song's lyrics carry a strong message about valuing the lives of all creatures and the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions.
