Verse 1

My piano doesn't have black keys anymore

They've been dyed and now I can't see them

They camouflage like the white of zebras

That at night you don't see

Or: That you can't see at night

Who told you that I like mirrors?

If they reflect what everyone can see

Better claw my eyes if it's inside

And don't be scared if this time

Prechorus 1

You discover your enemy looking at your belly button

It's you, nobody else, don't look for it outside

Addicts to the danger, that has to break the plans

Chorus 1

And I, who bites everything

Lit: And I, that everything I bite

And you, castle of wax

You'll see that the fire in your body doesn't always burn you

And you're so alive inside

And I, so broken on the outside

I am color white and black, and you're my watercolor

In Spanish, you say 'blanco y negro' (white and black) rather than 'negro y blanco' (black and white)

And you my watercolor

Watercolor, also aquarelle, is a painting method in which the paints are made of pigments suspended in a water-based solution

Verse 2

Where do I look when I don't have strength left?

Where is so much life and so much faith born?

There are questions that now have no answer

And then you understand why

I'm afraid of not finding the melody

That has this song stuck in my head all day

And it's my way of loving you, what irony

Look what contradiction

Or: Look at what a contradiction

Prechorus 2

You discover your enemy looking at your belly button

It's you, nobody else, don't look for it outside

Addicts to the danger, that has to break the plans

Chorus 2

And I, who bites everything

And you, castle of wax

You'll see that the fire in your body doesn't always burn you

And you're so alive inside

And I, so broken on the outside

I am color white and black, and you're my watercolor

In Spanish, you say 'blanco y negro' (white and black) rather than 'negro y blanco' (black and white)

And you my watercolor

Watercolor, also aquarelle, is a painting method in which the paints are made of pigments suspended in a water-based solution

Castillo de cera — Wax castle

Castillo de cera literally translates to "wax castle". It's a striking and poetic image that immediately brings to mind fragility, beauty, and something easily melted or destroyed.

In the song, it's used as a powerful metaphor for a person or a relationship: "Y tú, castillo de cera. Verás que el fuego en el cuerpo no siempre te quema." This suggests a delicate yet passionate nature, implying that despite its apparent vulnerability, it can withstand the heat of emotion without always being consumed. It's a unique and central image to the song's theme.

This song is a fantastic story about two people who are complete opposites. The singer feels like his world has lost its definition, singing that his piano keys have all turned the same color: "Mi piano ya no tiene teclas negras" (My piano has no black keys anymore). He feels broken on the outside and sees himself in simple terms, like "color blanco y negro" (black and white). He's not interested in surface-level stuff; he wants someone to look past what mirrors show and see what's inside.

Then he describes the person he's singing to, and it's a total contrast. She is a "castillo de cera" (wax castle)—beautiful but fragile. While he is broken on the outside, she is "tan viva por dentro" (so alive on the inside). She is his "acuarela" (watercolor), bringing color and life to his black-and-white existence. The song suggests that this intense connection, this fire, doesn't have to be destructive. It can be the very thing that makes them both feel alive.
