Karina
Los Ángeles Negros Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Carina es tu nombre
tus negras pupilas
hirieron mi pecho
como dos espinas
que llevo clavadas
haaay carina.
tu rara belleza
de mujer y niña
pureza y pecado
de tu alma divina
dan vida y dan muerte
hay carina.
prisionero en la trampa mortal
de tu frágil figura querer
no me dejes volar
con mi amor quédate
ser tu esclavo es mi único afán
y aunque se que por ti sufrire
no te alejes de mi




hay carina.
prisionero en la trampa...

Overall Meaning

The song Karina by Los Ángeles Negros is a romantic ballad that tells the story of a man who is deeply captivated by a woman named Karina. From the very beginning, the verses describe the woman as having stunning black pupils that have pierced his heart like two sharp thorns that remain embedded there. The man acknowledges that while Karina possesses a rare beauty that embodies both a woman and a child, her purity and sinfulness are a reflection of her divine soul. She brings both life and death, joy and sorrow to the man, leaving him unable to resist her charms.


Despite knowing that Karina is a deadly trap, the man is hopelessly in love with her and longs to be her slave. He pleads with her not to let him go, as being her prisoner is his only desire. He is aware that he will suffer for his love for her, but he implores her not to abandon him. The song ends on a melancholic note, with the man trapped in the mortal trap of Karina's fragile figure, unable to escape his love for her.


This song beautifully captures the intense emotions that can arise from passion and infatuation. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who is completely consumed by the woman he desires, despite the knowledge that his love for her may come at a great cost.
