A Quemarropa Lyrics in English by Fito y Fitipaldis
A quemarropa literally translates to "at point-blank range" or "at close range," often used in the context of a shot or attack. It's a vivid and somewhat dramatic phrase that isn't found in every song.
In this song, Fito y Fitipaldis use it metaphorically to express resilience and unwavering protection. The lyrics state, "Si a quemarropa me disparan, me resbalarán las balas" (If they shoot me at point-blank range, the bullets will slide off me), implying that no matter how direct or intense the challenges, the singer feels invincible, especially with the support of a loved one. This powerful imagery makes it a memorable and engaging word choice.
Have you ever met someone who just changes everything? That's what Fito y Fitipaldis are singing about in "A Quemarropa." It's like this person arrived "Llegaste del mar, quizás desde el cielo" [You arrived from the sea, perhaps from the sky], and suddenly, the world makes sense. The singer sees truth in their hair, like a sign that answers everything. It's such a powerful feeling that they just follow, even "sin saber hacia donde" [without knowing where to].
This song is all about how love can make you feel invincible. The lyrics say, "Si a quemarropa me disparan, me resbalarán las balas" [If they shoot me at point-blank range, the bullets will slide off me] because "Siempre me salvas tú" [You always save me]. It's a beautiful way to describe how someone's love can protect you from anything. And it's not just about protection; it's about learning to love deeply, realizing "Lo grande del corazón, lo que se puede querer" [The greatness of the heart, what can be loved]. It's a really heartfelt song about the transformative power of a deep connection.
