Asesíname stone
Charly Garcia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cuando viniste a mí,
Cerré la puerta pero abrí.
Asesíname, asesíname.

Por darte lo que dí,
Me transformé en un souvenir.
Asesíname, asesíname.
Dejé tu imagen en el cajón,
Guardé tu alma en el Mellotron.
No quiero mas que me dés con cuentagotas tu amor.

Es sólo rock and roll,
Pero ya es mucho para vos.
Asesíname, asesíname.

Yo me quiero morir,
No aguanto mas estar aquí.
Asesíname, asesíname, asesíname, asesíname.

All you need is love, love, love.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
All good children go to heaven.
One, two , three, four, five, six, seven.
All good children go to heaven.





Asesíname.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Charly Garcia's song Asesíname explore the tumultuous and volatile nature of a relationship. The singer describes closing the door but opening it again when the other person comes to them, suggesting a conflicted desire for intimacy and connection despite past difficulties. The repeated phrase "Asesíname" (meaning "kill me") highlights the intense emotions and sense of desperation that the singer is experiencing. By giving so much of themselves to the other person, the singer feels as though they have become a mere token or souvenir in the other person's life. They have even stored the other person's soul in a Mellotron, a type of electronic keyboard, suggesting a possessive and intense connection.


The final lines of the song alternate between the repeated phrase "Asesíname" and a reference to the Beatles' famous song "All You Need is Love." This juxtaposition highlights the dichotomy between the singer's desire to be loved and their inability to maintain the relationship. The counting up to seven and the reference to all good children going to heaven create a sense of finality and inevitability, suggesting that the singer feels trapped and unable to escape the cycle of pain and longing.


Overall, Asesíname is a powerful and emotional song that explores the complexities of human relationships and the raw emotions that they can elicit.

Neighborhood friends can be kidnapped at any time.


Popular singers can be kidnapped.


Famous people can be kidnapped.


The person we love deeply can be kidnapped.


People on television can be kidnapped on air.


People on the streets can be kidnapped in the street.


But the army is going to disappear.


I'm not at ease, my love.


It's Saturday night.


A friend is in jail. (It is likely to be tortured or disappear, they can link me to him, I can be next).


Oh my love.


The world is disappearing.


If troublesome people were killed, tortured and raped.


Oh, my love, I wish I had not caused trouble.


When everything is terrible


It is better not to have emotional attachments


Imagine the militaries in prison.
