Cariño Lyrics in English by The Marías
Devorarte comes from the verb devorar (to devour) and literally means 'to devour you'. It's a passionate and poetic word you won't find in your average love song.
In "Cariño", the line "Quiero tanto devorarte" (I want to devour you so much) uses this intense verb to express an overwhelming, all-consuming affection and desire. It’s a powerful, evocative way to describe an attraction that feels like it could eat you whole.
This song is a dreamy love letter to someone the singer finds completely captivating. It's all about that feeling of looking at a person and thinking they are perfect. The singer literally calls them "Eres una obra de arte" [You are a work of art], which is such a beautiful and intense way to express admiration. This person doesn't just look good; they bring a sense of calm, something that "da paz" [gives peace] just by being there.
The lyrics switch between Spanish and English, which makes the song feel incredibly intimate. The Spanish lines are full of sweet names like "Cariño" [Darling] and poetic descriptions, like when the singer says their love "Pintas en color" [You paint in color]. It suggests this person makes their whole world brighter. Then, the English lines come in with a direct plea: "I can be your babe if you won't let go." It's a simple, vulnerable offer that shows how much the singer wants this connection to last.
