Monstruo Lyrics in English by Cami
Monstruo translates to "monster". It's an intriguing word that immediately grabs attention, as it's not commonly used in romantic or introspective pop songs.
In Cami's song, she uses "monstruo" to describe a darker, more primal side of herself, contrasting with her perceived goodness. She sings, "También soy monstruo, aunque no quiero" (I'm also a monster, even though I don't want to), revealing an internal struggle and a raw honesty about her complex emotions and desires.
"Monstruo" is Cami's confession that tenderness and darker impulses can live in the same person. She opens by admitting "A veces me pasa que todo pasa" ("Sometimes it happens to me that everything passes"), a shrug at how fast her moods shift, then turns the feeling literal: "También soy monstruo, aunque no quiero" ("I'm also a monster, though I don't want to"). At night the shift becomes physical — "A veces de noche soy animal con garras" ("Sometimes at night I'm an animal with claws") — and hunger starts to sound like desire.
Instead of hiding that side of herself, she offers it to a lover as an invitation: "Cómeme a besos" ("Cover me with kisses"), asking him to "Sácame el mal conjuro de todo el cuerpo" ("Take the evil spell from my whole body"). She reassures him she means no harm — "Tranquilo, mi niño, no busco devorarte" ("Calm down, my boy, I'm not looking to devour you") — narrowing her appetite to something gentler: "Solo morderte el corazón, si tú me dejas" ("Just to bite your heart, if you let me"). The monster becomes her way of asking to be loved exactly as she is, claws included.
