He is sometimes simply known as Cristian or "el Gallito Feliz" (Spanish: "The Happy Little Rooster"). He is also the lead singer of Mexican heavy metal band La Esfinge (under the pseudonym "Lügh Draculea"), formed in 2014 along with ex-Maná and ex-Jaguares guitarist César "Vampiro" López.

Castro added the "h" to his first name for the release of his successful album, "Mi Vida Sin Tu Amor" in 1999. "Christian Castro," however, is still not widely used as "Cristian Castro," and Castro actually went back to using "Cristian" on his albums until 2004.

Castro married Paraguayan, Gabriela Bo, in Asunción in 2003.

Si Me Dejas Ahora
Cristian Castro Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Si me dejas ahora
No seré capaz de sobrevivir,
Me encadenaste a tu falda
Y enseñaste a mi alma a depender de ti

Ataste tú piel a mi piel
Y tu boca a mi boca,
Clavaste tu mente en la mía

Como una espada en la roca

Y ahora me dejas
Como si fuera yo cualquier cosa
Si me dejas ahora
No seré capaz de volver a sentir,

Me alejaste de todo
Y ahora dejas que me hunda en el lodo
Me cuesta tanto creer que no tengas corazón,
Que yo he sido en tu cadena de amor
Tan sólo un eslabón

Y en tu escalera un peldaño
Que no te importa pisar y hacerle daño

Estoy preso entre las redes de un poema
Eres tú quien me puede ayudar o me condena,
Eres lo mejor de mi pasado
Eres tú quien ahora me tiene enamorado
Eres tú, sólo tú

Si me dejas ahora
Mi espíritu se irá tras de ti,
Cabalgará día y noche
Sintiéndose soñador y quijote

Ataste tu piel a mi piel
Y tu boca a mi boca,
Clavaste tu mente en la mía
Como una espada en la roca

Y ahora me dejas como si fuera yo cualquier cosa
Estoy preso entre las redes de un poema
Eres tú quien me puede ayudar o me condena,
Eres lo mejor de mi pasado
Eres tú quien ahora me tiene enamorado

Eres tú, sólo tú
Estoy preso entre las redes de un poema

Eres tú quien me puede ayudar o me condena
Eres tú, sólo tú

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cristian Castro's song Si Me Dejas Ahora express the intense feelings of love and dependency towards someone who is about to leave. The singer uses powerful metaphors to describe his attachment to the person who has "chained him to her skirt" and taught his soul to depend on her. She has become part of him, "tied her skin to his skin, her mouth to his mouth, and her mind to his mind like a sword in the rock". He feels lost and shattered at the thought of her leaving, unable to survive without her. The imagery of being trapped in the web of a poem, and the power she holds over him to save or condemn him, is striking.

The song is a testament to the strong emotions that love can evoke, particularly the feeling of being powerless without the other person. The lyrics also demonstrate the dangers of dependency in a relationship and highlight the importance of self-sufficiency. It is a powerful and poignant love song that speaks to anyone who has ever experienced deep feelings of attachment and loss.
