Canción Animal Lyrics in English by Soda Stereo
Gemir means 'to moan' or 'to groan'. It's a powerful and less common verb than 'to speak' or 'to say', suggesting a more primal, non-verbal form of expression that comes straight from the body rather than the mind.
In the song, the line "No me sirven las palabras, gemir es mejor" ("Words don't work for me, moaning is better") rejects language altogether, embracing raw sound as a more honest way to express desire.
“Canción Animal” by Argentine rock icons Soda Stereo is a wild, adrenaline-charged celebration of untamed desire. Gustavo Cerati’s lyrics paint a vivid underground scene of leather, skin and metal, where crimson lights flash and instinct takes control. Forget tender romance—this track dives headfirst into the hypnotic pull of raw attraction, describing every hungry tear and every taste of “the purest nectar” as proof that nothing feels sweeter than passion unleashed.
The repeated cry of “canción animal” is a rallying call to drop polite words because moaning is better, letting the body speak in its own fiery language. As the guitars roar, the song dares the listener to embrace their inner creature, to keep asking for more and living harder. It’s a lust-charged rock anthem that reminds us we are still driven by primal beats beneath our polished surface, and that true freedom comes when we howl along with the music.
