Dulce Carol
Los Pericos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Regalame un caballo alado
Y dale vuelo con una canciûn de amor, de amor
Quemame como ardieron bonnie & clyde
Ese amor, ese gran amor, bonnie & clyde
Dulce, dulce, dulce carol
Entre tus manos, siembro una canciûn de amor, de amor
Quem·me como ardieron bonnie & clyde
Ese amor, ese gran amor, bonnie & clyde
Si me lo pides, yo me irè hasta el cielo, hasta el cielo
Y un par de estrellas buscarè, para vos yo las traerè
Para vos las llamarè bonnie & clyde
Mira mira cu·nta gente est· pendiente que algo pase
Mientras cabalgo sobre una canciûn de amor, de amor
Quemame, quemame como ardieron bonnie & clyde
Si me lo pides yo me irè hasta el cielo, hasta el cielo
Y un par de estrellas buscarè para vos yo las traerè
Para vos las llamarè bonnie & clyde
Dulce, dulce, dulce carol, hay tanta niebla en buenos aires
Bajo la lluvia escucho una canciûn de amor
Quemame como ardieron bonnie & clyde
Quemame, quemame bonnie & clyde
The lyrics of Los Pericos’s “Dulce Carol” are a plea for love that references Bonnie and Clyde’s infamous love story. The first stanza starts with a request to “sweet, sweet Carol” to give the singer “a winged horse” and to set it airborne with a love song. This is a reference to the mythical Pegasus and emphasizes the singer's desire to escape into the realm of love. The second verse continues with the plea for Carol to “draw a flower on fire” and to “sow a song of love” with her hands. The burning flower is a metaphor for an intense and passionate love that can consume one's soul.
In the chorus, the singer implores Carol to “burn” them like Bonnie and Clyde’s love did. The reference to Bonnie and Clyde’s love story is significant as it suggests that the singer desires a love that is as intense, dangerous, and passionate as that of the infamous couple. In the final verse, the singer offers to travel to the sky to bring back a couple of stars for Carol and to name them “Bonnie and Clyde”. This is yet another reference to the couple’s love and death. The final line of the song repeats the plea to Carol to "burn" the singer like Bonnie and Clyde.
