Desafío Lyrics in English Arca

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Desafío by Arca from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
Touch me for the first time
Kill me again and again
Love me and tie me and slit my throat
Find me and penetrate me and devour me
Chorus 1
I feel you inside
See that I burst inside
Ready or not
There's an abyss inside me
Ready or not
There's an abyss inside me
Ready or not
There's an abyss inside me
Ready or not
There's an abyss inside me
There's an abyss inside me
Verse 2
I will spill all my love
Only here I'll be
Verse 2
And give me your warmth
I will spill all my love
Only here I'll be
Verse 2
And give me your warmth
Love me and tie me and slit my throat
Find me and penetrate me and devour me

I feel you inside
See that I burst inside
Ready or not
There's an abyss inside me
Ready or not
There's an abyss inside me
Ready or not
There's an abyss inside me
Ready or not
There's an abyss inside me
Inside me

SONG MEANING

“Desafío” (Spanish for Challenge) plunges us into a vortex of intense desire where pleasure and danger dance together. Arca stacks urgent commands – “tócame,” “ámame,” “dególlame” – to paint a picture of someone willing to risk everything for total connection. The graphic language is less about violence and more about melting away all boundaries, asking a partner to enter the deepest corners of the self.

Every time the chorus repeats “hay un abismo dentro de mí,” we sense that bottomless inner space: a mix of loneliness, passion, and raw energy that can either swallow or liberate. By promising “yo derramaré todo mi amor,” the singer vows to pour out love until nothing is left hidden. The result is a hypnotic anthem to vulnerability, inviting listeners to confront their own inner abysses and discover how thrilling, terrifying, and transformative true intimacy can be.
