Lo que no cura mata
Klaus & Kinski Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hay un trecho enorme entre
los dos,
una diferencia de
color.
Hay cosas que mejor no
pensar,
pues no vaya a ser que sí
que sea verdad,
pues tú,
pues yo,
ya lo sé,
es mi culpa,
por mi culpa.

¿Quieres ver
cómo miento,
cómo miento?.

Hazlo otra vez,
cuenta hasta tres,
esto que ves
es mi carne.

Ya lo sé,
yo ya lo sé,
para comer
hay que morder.

Cuánto lo siento,
no lo sé hacer

Cuánto lo siento,
no lo sé hacer.





Cuánto lo siento, (me pondré del revés, empezaré por los pies)
qué puedo hacer. (me pondré del revés, empezaré por la piel)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Klaus & Kinski's "Lo que no cura mata" convey a sense of distance between two individuals, highlighting their difference in color - perhaps referring to race or ethnicity. The singer suggests that there are certain things better left unsaid or unthought, as they may be too painful to bear if revealed. The refrain of "¿Quieres ver cómo miento?" (Do you want to see how I lie?) seems to express a sense of resignation or defeat, as though the singer knows they are not capable of being honest with themselves or others. The line "esto que ves es mi carne" (what you see is my flesh) adds a physicality to the song, emphasizing the vulnerability and humanity of the singer.


The repetition of "ya lo sé" (I already know) at the end of the first and second stanzas suggest a sense of self-awareness or self-reflection on the part of the singer. They acknowledge that the fault lies with them, but it is not clear what exactly they are taking blame for. The final lines of the song, "Cuánto lo siento, qué puedo hacer" (how sorry I am, what can I do) seem to express a sense of helplessness or desperation - the singer is aware of their fault but is unsure of how to make amends.


Overall, "Lo que no cura mata" is a melancholic song that explores themes of distance, honesty, and vulnerability. While the lyrics are somewhat abstract, they convey a strong emotional resonance that speaks to the complexity of human relationships.
