Dices Lyrics in English by Virlan Garcia
Cenizas translates to "ashes". It's a striking and evocative word that paints a vivid picture of destruction and what's left behind after something has been consumed by fire.
In the song, the artist sings about "caminando entre cenizas que dejó" (walking among the ashes that it left). This metaphor powerfully conveys the aftermath of a failed relationship, suggesting that all that remains are the remnants of what once was, emphasizing the sense of loss and finality.
Virlan Garcia's "Dices" is a really honest look at a breakup where one person is left completely confused and hurt. He sings, "Dices que esto se ha acabado por mi culpa / Pero todavía no se lo que hice mal" [You say this is over because of me / But I still don't know what I did wrong], which perfectly sets the scene for his bewilderment. He's clearly been left behind, asking, "Pregunté llorando, ¿ahora por qué te vas?" [I asked, crying, now why are you leaving?].
It's a relatable feeling of being stuck in the past, remembering the good times, even admitting, "Nunca he estado arrepentido de quererte" [I've never regretted loving you]. But now, he's just sad, noting, "Que ando triste, me dicen que me han notado / Desde que tú ya no estás aquí a mi lado" [That I'm sad, they tell me they've noticed / Since you're no longer here by my side]. He even turns to old habits, saying, "Volví a tomar otra vez / Y no me da sueño" [I started drinking again / And I can't sleep]. It's a raw portrayal of trying to cope with a love that just didn't work out, even though they tried: "Nos amamos, nos dañamos, nos odiamos / Lo intentamos pero nunca se nos dio" [We loved each other, we hurt each other, we hated each other / We tried but it never worked out for us].
