Caramelos de Cianuro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu solo eres una enfermedad,
El cielo, el infierno, muy malo, muy tierno
Y si dicen caballo mejor yo me callo
Pues yo también lo se pasar muy mal.
El síndrome de abstinencia se me dispara en tu ausencia
Es que yo no comprendo lo que estoy sintiendo
Me he convertido en algo parecido,
A un extraño sueño que yo soñaba de pequeño,
Imagino que estarás consciente que jugamos ligas diferentes,
Yo no puedo seguirte los pasos llévame en tus brazos
Coro:
A veces eres la enfermera
Y otras más la enfermedad,
Si los vecinos se quejan de tus aullidos salvajes,
Es porque eres mi mujer ideal.
Hoy como siempre diré que no más,
Como siempre mañana vuelvo para atrás.
No sé si es una conducta normal,
Quizás me tengas que internar,
Quizás si me das lo que tu me sabes dar.
Coro:
A veces eres la enfermera
Y otras mas la enfermedad
Si los vecinos se quejan de tus aullidos salvajes
Es porque eres mi mujer ideal.
The lyrics of Caramelos de Cianuro's song 'Enfermo' expresses the singer's dilemma of being in a toxic and dysfunctional relationship. In the opening lines, the singer finally gathers the courage to accept that they are in love with someone who is nothing but a disease, a bad influence, and a source of pain. The next lines suggest that the person in question is someone who evokes strong emotions, ranging from heaven to hell, and so unpredictable that the singer is unable to guess how to behave around them.
The line, "Y si dicen caballo mejor yo me callo" is a colloquialism that means if people have been gossiping that the singer is acting foolishly by being with this person just like a horse's behavior, they might as well keep silent since the singer admits they have experienced their fair share of bad moments with this person. Furthermore, the singer states that they suffer from withdrawal symptoms when away from their significant other, suggesting that the relationship is addictive and dangerous.
The chorus, "A veces eres la enfermera y otras más la enfermedad" translates to "sometimes you're my nurse and at other times the illness." This phrase is the crux of the song, depicting the paradox that ensues when one becomes dependent on a partner who is nothing but an addictive toxin. The singer oscillates between idolizing this person and realizing that they are not good for them. Finally, the song concludes with the singer's surrender to their addiction and their desire to remain stuck in the cycle of love and toxicity.
