Lyrics & Translation

To truly appreciate the intensity of Spanish metal and dramatic storytelling, immerse yourself in Stravaganzza’s "Desilusión." This powerful Symphonic Gothic Metal anthem, literally meaning 'Disillusion,' is a masterclass in conveying raw emotion and soaring vocal power in Spanish. Listen closely to the vivid, melancholic vocabulary used to describe betrayal and emotional annihilation, and learn to match the drama of the language with the song’s complex orchestration and potent chorus.

[English]

The storm is approaching

And I plunge into a sea

Of mud, once again

Little by little, barely seeing it

Its stench penetrates my skin

The one to whom I gave my love

Rewards me with pain

Betrayal, revenge and ambition

Relax, your frustration

Does not take hold of my being

Beauty without eyes disgusts me

And it draws you, like red to raw flesh

I straighten up and expel that bile of faith

That remains in my gall

Who managed to tear out passion

Today my heart annihilates me

It hides behind a simple jester

A sun of disappointment crushes me

And returns me to perishing

Please, be quiet

Don't remind me of what I hated so much

Look at me, don't you see

Your fiery sting already scorches my feet

...

The echo of pain is so

Its interior is so empty

It drags me and clouds my reason

Perhaps you deserve my forgiveness

And the hurt may heal someday

No

Please, be quiet

Don't remind me of what I hated so much

Look at me, don't you see

Your fiery sting already scorches

Be quiet, leave me

I straighten myself in the fears I have passed

Please, look at me

Lying here beside you

Begging you

...

Begging you

Begging you

Begging you

...

Heal sometime

Heal sometime

...

[Spanish]

La tormenta se acerca

Y me adentro en un mar

De fango, otra vez

Poco a poco y apenas sin verla

Su hedor penetra en mi piel

Aquel que yo entregué mi amor

Me recompensa con dolor

Traición, venganza y ambición

Tranquilo, que tu frustración

No se apodera de mi ser

La belleza sin ojos me apesta

Y te atrae, cual rojo a la res

Me retuerzo y expulso esa bilis de fe

Que queda en mi hiel

Quién consiguió arrancar pasión

Hoy me aniquila el corazón

Se embauca de un simple bufón

Me aplasta un sol de decepción

Y me devuelve a perecer

Por favor, cállate

No me recuerdes lo que tanto odié

Mírame, no lo ves

Que tu aguijón de fuego abrasa ya mis pies

Es tal el eco del dolor

Es tan vacío su interior

Me arrastra y nubla la razón

Quizá merezcas mi perdón

Y el daño cure alguna vez

No

Por favor, cállate

No me recuerdes lo que tanto odié

Mírame, no lo ves

Que tu aguijón de fuego abrasa ya

Cállate, déjame

Que me retuerzo en miedos que pasé

Por favor, mírame

Tumbado aquí a tu lado

Suplicándote

Suplicándote

Suplicándote

Suplicándote

Cure alguna vez

Cure alguna vez
