Historias De Danzón Y De Arrabal Lyrics in English Aleks Syntek

Welcome to the smoky ballrooms and shadowy backstreets of Mexico’s golden nightlife! Historias De Danzón Y De Arrabal paints a cinematic picture of lovers who twirl to the elegant rhythm of danzón while flirting with the grit of the arrabal, the rougher side of town. Aleks Syntek invites us to peek into dimly lit taverns where high-heeled temptation and heady alcohol blur the line between romance and ruin. Each verse feels like a whispered rumor: passionate couples hide secrets as they glide across the floor, surrendering to “lujuria” (lust) and “alucinación” (hallucination) that threaten to pull them into darkness.

Beneath the sensual dance imagery lies a cautionary tale. The singer wrestles with guilt, sin, and the fear of an impending reckoning—“Cuando el diablo me quiera llevar” (“When the devil wants to take me”). The song suggests that every intoxicating night has a price: broken hearts, lingering scars, and the possibility of eternal damnation. Syntek’s lyrics remind us that pleasure and peril often share the same dance space, turning each step into both a celebration and a confession.
