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.

Cristian Castro Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Que bueno que es tenerte nuevamente
Cuánto tiempo ha pasado sin tu amor
Tenerte me alimenta
Tenerte me consuela
Tenerte me acelera el corazón

Sé que tengo muy poco de tu tiempo
Apenas unas horas de tu amor

Ayer tú fuiste mía
Pero hoy tienes tu vida
Y somos sólo amantes de ocasión

Sólo amantes
No me alcanza para ser feliz
Necesito compartir mi vida
Yo te quiero junto a mí

Soló amantes
Es muy poco para tanto amor
Quiero compartir tus alegrías
Pero también tu dolor

Llegó el momento de la despedida
Mi corazón se parte de dolor
Sé que ya no eres mía
Y que hoy tienes tu vida
Y somos soló amantes de ocasion

Contando los segundos voy

Para cuando te vuelva ver
Y así amarte una y otra vez

Overall Meaning

In Cristian's song "Amantes De Ocasion," he expresses his happiness and joy at being reunited with a former love after a long time apart. He sings about how being with this person feeds his soul, provides consolation, and quickens his heartbeat. However, he acknowledges that he only has a short amount of time with her before she goes back to her regular life, so they can only be temporary lovers.

Cristian's lyrics also speak to his desire for a deeper emotional connection with his lover. He admits that being just "amantes" or temporary lovers, is not enough for him to be truly happy. He wants to share his life with her, to be a part of her joys and sorrows, and to build a lasting relationship with her. Despite the pain of knowing they will have to part once again, he still counts down the seconds until they can meet again and continue loving each other.

Overall, "Amantes De Ocasion" is a touching song about the bittersweet nature of temporary love and the deep longing for a more permanent connection with a former love.
