Deseos De Usar Y Tirar Lyrics in English Bunbury

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Deseos De Usar Y Tirar by Bunbury from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
Your eyes are swords inside my flesh
They fill me with sound in the shadow and in the light
In a permanent state of emergency
Of science and youth
We dance with no need for melody
You guide me toward my best version
I can't stand losing sight of you when you get naked
I never give up the rhyme of your breathing
Chorus 1
And I, who wanted to be so many men
What will I do after having you next to me
In these times that everything is so fleeting
And passing
Desires to use and throw away
Verse 2
And only you can contain the runaway horses until dawn
Like Nick Cave told me, you're not your past
And today you give me the promise of a major chord
Chorus 2
And I, who wanted to be so many men
What will I do after having you next to me
In these times that everything is so fleeting
And passing
Desires to use and throw away
Chorus 2
In these times that everything is so fleeting
And passing
Desires to use and throw away

SONG MEANING

In Deseos de Usar y Tirar, Australian rocker Bunbury paints a cinematic portrait of a passion so intense it feels like a constant state of emergency. The lover’s eyes are “espadas,” piercing right to the bone, filling the singer with sound and color whether in shadow or light. Their dance needs no melody; her presence alone guides him toward his “best version.” Against a backdrop of fleeting modern romances—those quick “use-and-throw-away” desires—the singer clings to a connection that feels almost supernatural.

Bunbury contrasts today’s disposable culture with a love capable of containing wild horses until dawn. He admits he once chased many identities, but now wonders what could possibly follow an experience this transformative. The nod to Nick Cave—“you are not your past”—hints at rebirth through love, sealed with “the promise of a major chord.” Ultimately, the song celebrates a relationship powerful enough to stand still while the rest of the world races by, turning a critique of modern ephemerality into an anthem of enduring intimacy.
