Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ábreme la ventana, que quiero verlas
Hijita de mi vida, tú estas enferma
Y el sereno de la noche, matarte pueda
Debajo de mi cama, aúlla un perro
Y al toque de la una, madre yo muero
Hijita de mi vida, no digas eso
Si viene Jorge a verme, después de muerta
No lo dejes que pase, de aquella puerta
Porque Jorge no me quiere, quiere a Dolores
Y a mi solo me basta, que tú me llores
Yo de mortaja quiero, mi traje blanco
El que me preparaste, para mi boda
Pase a mis amiguitas, al cuarto mío
Y ahí verán mi rostro, pálido y frió
The lyrics to S.P.Y's song "Torque" open on a haunting note with the lines "Que linda esta la noche, cuantas estrellas" ("What a pretty night, so many stars"). The singer then requests to open a window to better see these stars. However, the mood quickly shifts with the line "Hijita de mi vida, tú estas enferma" ("My darling daughter, you are sick"), introducing a sense of unease and fear. The verse continues to describe the threat of the night's serenity, with the chilling words "Y el sereno de la noche, matarte pueda" ("And the night's serenity might kill you").
The second verse introduces new elements, with a howling dog under the singer's bed and the ominous implication that they will die at 1 a.m. However, the singer reassures their daughter, telling her not to worry and that she is getting better. The final lines suggest a mournful acceptance of death and a desire to be buried in her wedding dress, with the instruction to her daughter to weep for her being the only comfort. Overall, the lyrics of "Torque" paint a vivid picture of fear, resignation, and mourning.
