El Centro De Mis Ojos Lyrics in English by Amaral
Delirio translates to "delirium" or "frenzy." It's a strong, evocative word that immediately suggests an intense, almost dreamlike state, making it more captivating than common words.
In the song, the opening line "Una mañana de delirio salvaje, desperté" (One morning of wild delirium, I woke up) sets a dramatic and mysterious tone. It hints at a profound, perhaps transformative, experience that the narrator has undergone, drawing the listener into the song's narrative of self-discovery and intense emotion.
Amaral's "El Centro De Mis Ojos" is a powerful journey of self-discovery and resilience. The song kicks off with a vivid image of waking up with "la fiebre del ave migratoria" [the fever of a migratory bird], hinting at a restless spirit ready for change. The singer leaves a comfortable life behind, having seen things they haven't told anyone about, like "el amor más grande, el que te da una madre" [the greatest love, the one a mother gives you] and "el dolor más fuerte, la cara de la muerte" [the strongest pain, the face of death]. It's clear they've experienced a lot!
The chorus, "El centro de mis ojos es el centro de un terremoto" [The center of my eyes is the center of an earthquake], really grabs you. It suggests an intense inner world, full of powerful emotions and experiences. Despite the world feeling "loco" [crazy], they promise to take things "poco a poco" [little by little], and that you'll see it all in their eyes. There's a sense of rebirth too, as they jump from a high rock into the sea, getting "bautizar" [baptized] again. They even share the good memories in their songs, giving them as a gift. It's a song about embracing life's chaos and finding strength within yourself, even if you were born in a "tierra quemada" [burned land] with a "triste mirada" [sad gaze].
