Caronte Lyrics in English Alba Reche

Home / Lyrics Translation / Alba Reche / Caronte

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Caronte by Alba Reche from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

You made me ask myself

If my love was true

For life and color

For the stroke, the flavor

I sold my soul

There was no choice

I felt them laughing

In the dark I saw them appear

Through the glass they lurked in the gloom

Chorus 1

With spotlights, with the light of evil

There was no choice

What was I dancing for?

Who was I singing for?

For your dirty laundry

For your clear lies

Verse 2

I danced many more nights

I sang to you until I drowned

You covered your ears as if you couldn't see

So I could see you and not feel that it was cheap

To buy my love

The value

Chorus 2

With spotlights, with the light of evil

There was no choice

What was I dancing for?

Who was I singing for?

For your dirty laundry

For your clear lies

What was I dancing for?

Who was I singing for?

For your dirty laundry

For your clear lies

SONG MEANING

Caronte invites us on a shadowy boat ride where Alba Reche confronts the price of creativity. Borrowing the name of Charon, the ferryman of the underworld, the song paints a picture of an artist who has “sold her soul” for the spotlight. Amid blinding stage lights (“con focos, con luz del mal”), she realizes her art is being swallowed by people who only want “dirty laundry” and “clear lies.” With every dance step and note, she wonders: Who am I performing for, and why?

Yet beneath the darkness glimmers defiance. By exposing the emptiness of those who profit from her passion, Alba reclaims control of her voice and questions the value society places on genuine emotion. Caronte becomes both confession and rebellion—a reminder that true art is priceless, and the soul behind it should never be for sale.
