Flores En Abril Lyrics in English by Alvaro De Luna
Kamikaze is a Japanese word that has been adopted into Spanish, referring to a person who undertakes a suicidal mission. It's a striking and somewhat unexpected word to find in a Spanish pop song.
In the lyrics, the phrase "Como un kamikaze me tiro al andén" (Like a kamikaze I throw myself onto the platform) vividly conveys a sense of reckless abandon and a willingness to take extreme risks, perhaps in love or in life. This dramatic imagery makes the word particularly memorable and intriguing.
Alvaro De Luna's "Flores En Abril" is a powerful breakup anthem where the singer is definitely over it! He starts by remembering intense, passionate moments, talking about "el secreto que ensambla tu cuerpo" [the secret that assembles your body] and "Momentos alternos que queman con fuego" [alternate moments that burn with fire]. But these memories are quickly overshadowed by the pain of "Mentiras fugaces que suenan voraces" [fleeting lies that sound voracious] and "Silencios tenaces que ya no me invaden" [tenacious silences that no longer invade me].
He's made a firm decision, declaring, "He jurado no escribirte en febrero" [I have sworn not to write to you in February] and a blunt, "No vuelvas" [Don't come back]. He's moved on, running "descalzo por Madrid" [barefoot through Madrid] and acknowledging that his ex "Lamentas que ya me olvidé de ti" [You regret that I already forgot you]. The repeated line, "Que ya no hay flores en abril" [That there are no longer flowers in April], beautifully symbolizes the end of their love and new beginnings, as he sings, "He sanado tantas veces mis heridas" [I have healed my wounds so many times] and "No me importas más, sané esa herida" [You don't matter to me anymore, I healed that wound]. It's a song about healing and finding freedom after a painful goodbye.
