No Quiero Celos Lyrics in English by Eliades Ochoa
Celos translates to "jealousy". It's a central theme in many relationships and a powerful emotion that drives much of the song's narrative.
In "No Quiero Celos," Eliades Ochoa directly addresses the destructive nature of jealousy, stating, "el celo es un egoísmo que a veces lleva al abismo" (jealousy is a selfishness that sometimes leads to the abyss). This word is key to understanding the song's message about avoiding possessiveness in love.
Eliades Ochoa's "No Quiero Celos" is a direct and humorous take on the troubles of jealousy in a relationship. He starts by pointing out that "la mujer cuando es celosa y es muy poco inteligente" [a woman when she is jealous is very unintelligent] because she always listens to gossip. He believes everyone should only trust what they see with their own eyes to avoid unnecessary drama and breakups.
He really drives home the idea that "el celo es un egoísmo que a veces lleva al abismo al hombre oa la mujer" [jealousy is a selfishness that sometimes leads men or women to the abyss]. Eliades is clear: he doesn't want that kind of negativity with his partner. He even playfully warns, "si yo me meto contigo también se lee" [if I get involved with you, it's also read], implying that his life is an open book. He just wants to share his life with his friends, asking, "¿por qué son esos celos conmigo?" [why is there this jealousy with me?] It's a fun, lighthearted plea for trust and freedom in love.
