Como Pez Sin Agua Lyrics in English by LOS INQUIETOS DEL NORTE
Ahogando translates to "drowning". It's a strong, evocative verb that immediately brings to mind a sense of being overwhelmed and struggling.
In the context of the song, the lyrics state, "Estoy ahogando mis ganas de amar" (I am drowning my desire to love). This powerful metaphor conveys the depth of the singer's despair and how he is suppressing his emotions due to loneliness and heartbreak, making it a very memorable and impactful word.
Have you ever felt like you just can't live without someone? That's exactly what Los Inquietos del Norte are singing about in "Como Pez Sin Agua" [Like a Fish Without Water]. The singer is totally consumed by the memory of a lost love, even though he knows they're not coming back. He says, "solo tu recuerdo me mantiene vivo aunque sé que no vendrás" [only your memory keeps me alive even though I know you won't come]. It's a pretty intense feeling of loneliness, where he feels like he's drowning in his desire to love again.
He's ready to give up everything for this person, declaring, "lo que yo quiero es tener tus besos" [what I want is to have your kisses] and "solo te quiero a ti y los demás no importa" [I only want you and nothing else matters]. The title, "Como Pez Sin Agua," perfectly describes his desperation – like a fish out of water, he's completely lost and helpless without them. It's a powerful song about being totally devoted to someone, even when they're gone.
