Como Camarón Lyrics in English Estopa

Home / Lyrics Translation / Estopa / Como Camarón

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Como Camarón by Estopa from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

Superior to me

It's the force that carries me

In the pulse that I keep

Verse 1

With the darkness that dyes

your black eyes dark

Verse 1

And what do you tell me about the time

that passes in your blink

Verse 1

and that brings me down this street

of bitterness and sorrow

Chorus 1

that I know that the smile

that is drawn on my face

Chorus 1

has to do with the breeze

Chorus 2

that fans

your gaze

Chorus 2

so slow and so fast

so normal and so strange

Chorus 2

I rip my shirt

like Camarón

Chorus 2

You tear up my insides

You climb me like a spider

Chorus 2

You drink the sweat that fogs up

the glass in my room

Chorus 2

and afterward in the morning

I wake up and I have no wings

Chorus 2

I've been sleeping for ten hours

and my pillow is soaked

Chorus 2

Everything had been a dream

very real and very deep

Chorus 2

Your eyes have no owner

Chorus 3

because they are not of this world

that I don't want to look at you

But it's that I close my eyes

and I even see you inside

I see you on one side and on the other

in every photo, in every mirror

and on the subway walls

and in people's eyes

even in the hottest soup

I'm going crazy

that I know that the smile

that is drawn on my face

has to do with the breeze

that fans

your gaze

so slow and so fast

so normal and so strange

I rip my shirt

like Camarón

You tear up my insides

You climb me like a spider

You drink the sweat that fogs up

the glass in my room

and afterward in the morning

I wake up and I have no wings

I've been sleeping for ten hours

and my pillow is soaked

Everything had been a dream

very real and very deep

Your eyes have no owner

because they are not of this world

and sometimes I get confused and ring your neighbor

the one on the second floor

who sells fine stuff

and sometimes I wait for you

in the bar on the corner

with my gaze fixed on your doorway

and sometimes I swallow the world in one bite

and sometimes I feel you and sometimes I lay you down

Sometimes I read a kiss on your lips

and since I don't dare

I cut myself and I open up

that I know that the smile

that is drawn on my face

has to do with the breeze

that fans your gaze

so slow and so fast

so normal and so strange

I rip my shirt

like Camarón

You tear up my insides

You climb me like a spider

You drink the sweat that fogs up

the glass in my room

and afterward in the morning

I wake up and I have no wings

I've been sleeping for ten hours

and my pillow is soaked

Everything had been a dream

very real and very deep

Your eyes have no owner

because they are not of this world

SONG MEANING

Como Camarón captures the dizzying rush of an infatuation that blurs the line between dream and reality. The singer is hooked on someone whose dark eyes seem almost supernatural, pulling him into a world where time flashes by with a single blink. He wakes up soaked in sweat, unsure if the night of passion ever happened, yet he keeps seeing her everywhere – in mirrors, on the subway walls, even in a bowl of hot soup. The title nods to flamenco icon Camarón de la Isla, famous for ripping open his shirt onstage; here, the narrator feels the same explosive urge to “break his shirt” in a fit of raw emotion.

Under the upbeat rumba-rock rhythm, Estopa paints a portrait of obsession that is equal parts thrilling and exhausting. The lyrics bounce between bravado and vulnerability: one moment the singer scales her like a spider, the next he is too shy to steal a kiss. It is a roller coaster of desire and frustration, love and illusion, set to an irresistibly catchy groove that makes you want to clap, sing, and maybe tear your own shirt in the heat of the moment.
