Alaska Lyrics in English Camilo , Grupo Firme

Home / Lyrics Translation / Camilo / Alaska

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Alaska by Camilo from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

Today they asked me what my favorite beer was

And I answered, and I answered

'Being kissed by her little mouth'

Then they told me 'There's no beer, how do you like tequila?'

I said 'Reposado', I said 'Reposado'

But reposado in her little bed

Chorus 1

I always talk about you

I always talk about you even when it's not about talking about you

I see you everywhere

And even double when I'm drunk

Everybody says that alcohol

Hurts the memory

Chorus 1

It seems that clearly

I haven't drunk enough to erase our story

Chorus 1

Everybody says that alcohol

It's going to make me live less

Chorus 1

But less stressed

And even less worried, because I don't have your kisses

Chorus 1

Blessed alcohol

Sweet torment

Tell me why oblivion walks so slowly

Blessed alcohol

Sweet torment

What are you doing outside?

You better come inside

Let it be seen, Tribe

Hahaha

Verse 2

They say that I should move somewhere else

To see if I stop thinking about you

Verse 2

I'm going to Alaska, I'm going to Alaska

But to the bars to forget you

Chorus 2

I always talk about you

I always talk about you even when it's not about talking about you

I see you everywhere

And even double when I'm drunk

Everybody says that alcohol

Hurts the memory

Chorus 2

It seems that clearly

I haven't drunk enough to erase our story

Chorus 2

Everybody says that alcohol

It's going to make me live less

Chorus 2

But less stressed

And even less worried, because I don't have your kisses

Chorus 2

Blessed alcohol

Sweet torment

Tell me why oblivion walks so slowly

Blessed alcohol

Sweet torment

What are you doing outside?

Better downtown, and how is it?

Outro

I forgot because of how drunk I am

Up, down, to the center and inside

So then

Outro

The king of the tribe, gentlemen, family

Me, babe

And pure Grupo Firme!

Wa!

SONG MEANING

Camilo and Grupo Firme turn heart-ache into a tipsy adventure in “Alaska”. Over lively regional Mexican rhythms, the singer keeps bumping into memories of an ex everywhere he goes – even a simple question about beer or tequila becomes an excuse to talk about her. He jokes that the only tequila he wants is to be "reposado" in her bed, and if friends think moving far away will help him forget, he quips he will head all the way to Alaska… but only to the nearest bar.

The chorus raises a glass to alcohol as both "blessed" and a "sweet torment": it hurts his health, yet it numbs the stress of missing her kisses. No matter how much he drinks, the past refuses to disappear, so he keeps toasting – "Arriba, abajo, al centro y pa’ dentro" – hoping each round will finally speed up forgetfulness. The song is a playful, upbeat confession that sometimes we hide sorrow behind laughs, loud music, and another pour.
