Como un animal
Kerigma Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

El primer encuentro,
en aquel lugar.
Solo por instinto,
como un animal.

Toqué su cuerpo.
Sentí el aliento.
Desgarré su adentro,

con pasión total.

Como un animal, como un animal.

Unas gentes hablan,
me enredan el alma,
con historias raras,
sobre como amar.

Pero no me olvido,
que los instintos,
son muy distintos,
para el amor.

Déjate tocar,
y sentir tu cuerpo en el mió.
Déjate llevar,
acaríciame tengo frió.
Oh... tengo frió.

Ámame no mas.
Junto a ti,
me siento vivo.
Como un animal,
el amor sera furtivo.

Como un animal, como un animal,
déjate tocar.

Como un animal, como un animal,
déjate llevar.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kerigma's song "Como un animal" describe a wild and passionate encounter between two people. The first lines set the scene for this moment, emphasizing the instinctual nature of their attraction. The singer touches the other person's body and feels their breath, indicating a physical and intimate connection. The lines "Desgarré su adentro, con pasión total" suggest a raw and intense experience, as if the singer is tearing apart the other person's insides with their passion.

However, the second part of the song complicates this romantic ideal. The singer acknowledges that some people try to prescribe rules and guidelines for how to love, but they reject these ideas in favor of following their instincts. The chorus repeats the phrase "Como un animal" to reinforce the idea that this kind of love is primal and untamed. Even as the singer encourages their partner to let themselves be touched and carried away, the final lines hint at the fleeting nature of this kind of love, describing it as "furtive" like an animal on the prowl.

The lyrics of "Como un animal" deal with themes of passion, desire, and the ways in which society can impose restrictions on how we experience love and sexuality. The song is an exploration of the tension between following our own instincts and desires versus conforming to societal norms, with a strong emphasis on the former. Interestingly, the song could be read as both a celebration of animalistic desire and a critique of the ways in which humans can be reduced to nothing more than primal impulses.
