Infierno VIP Lyrics in English by Caramelos de Cianuro
Retuerce comes from the verb retorcer, meaning to writhe, twist, or contort. It's a vivid and somewhat dramatic word that paints a strong image.
In
Caramelos de Cianuro brings us a darkly humorous and dramatic tale of a love gone wrong in "Infierno VIP." The singer feels like a "tenorio en el purgatorio" [Don Juan in purgatory] and an "alma en pena sin velorio" [tormented soul without a wake] ever since meeting this person. It's clear they've been utterly consumed, feeling "muerto desde que te vi" [dead since I saw you], trapped in the "infierno VIP" [VIP hell] of this relationship.
Our narrator describes themselves as "otra víctima inocente que se retuerce entre tus dientes" [another innocent victim writhing between your teeth], leaving a "mancha carmesí" [crimson stain] on the floor of this exclusive hell. The frustration is palpable as they ask, "Si para bailar hacen falta dos ¿Por qué te fuiste sin decir adiós?" [If it takes two to dance, why did you leave without saying goodbye?]. There's a sense of betrayal and a grudging "simpatía por la Diabla" [sympathy for the She-Devil], who is described with "falsos ojos, falso pelo, falso azul de un falso cielo" [false eyes, false hair, false blue of a false sky]. The song ends with a repeated, bitter curse, "Maldito el día en que te vi" [Cursed be the day I saw you], cementing the idea that this encounter was a one-way ticket to a very exclusive, very painful, VIP hell.
