Verse 1

I found you in the cave

Totally broken

Totally dark

Totally crazy

I licked your wounds

And I lit your sun

I showed you life and

You only thought about yourself

Chorus 1

And what are you going to do at dawn?

When nostalgia isn't covered by a woman

And what are you going to do? Who are you going to convince?

When I bloom and finally stop hurting

And return, return, return

It won't be possible

Verse 2

Of course I cried

Yes I adored you

You turned our story

Into a damn parody

And how was I to know

That you were going to break

Everything that was in your path

But this failure is yours

If with all your money

You bought the entire world

You'll return to that cave

You're your own prisoner

Chorus 2

And what are you going to do at dawn?

When nostalgia isn't covered with pleasure

And what are you going to do? Who are you going to convince?

When I bloom and finally stop hurting

And return, return, return

It won't be possible

cueva — cave

Cueva literally translates to "cave". While it's a simple word, Cazzu uses it as a powerful metaphor for a dark, isolated place of emotional brokenness.

She sings, "Te encontré en la cueva" (I found you in the cave), to describe finding someone at their lowest point. The song's story revolves around this idea, predicting the person will return to this metaphorical cave, as they are their own "propio prisionero" (own prisoner).

In "LA CUEVA," Cazzu tells a story about rescuing someone from a dark place, only to be let down. She found this person in a metaphorical "cueva" (cave), describing them as "totalmente roto / totalmente oscuro / totalmente loco" (totally broken / totally dark / totally crazy). She says she "lamí tus heridas / y encendí tu sol" (licked your wounds / and lit your sun), helping them heal and showing them a better life. But the gratitude never came. Instead, he "solamente pensaste en vos" (only thought of yourself).

Now, she's looking to the future and asking him some tough questions. What will he do when he's alone and can't use someone else to distract himself from his sadness? She predicts that while she will eventually "florezca" (blossom) and move on, he is doomed to return to his cave. Even if he could buy the whole world, he is "tu propio prisionero" (your own prisoner). The final message is absolute: for him, a return to her is impossible. "Y volver, volver, volver / no se va a poder" (And to come back, come back, come back / it won't be possible).
