Cenit Lyrics in English La Castañeda

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cenit by La Castañeda from Spanish to English.
I believed when they said
that the moon fell asleep
when the sun came out
I believed when they said
that the devil hid, sniffing in the corners
of the room
I also believed because they said
the near-sighted teachers
that the sun couldn't be looked at head-on
and I believed it because they said
that life didn't exist
in death
No, I don't want to be a shadow on the floor
I want to see myself reflected, transparent
in the spaces and the skies
at the edge of your breasts
hung like a painting
on the walls of your belly
lost in your landscapes
I believed when they said
that other worlds didn't live
and everything was what you see
I thought that your smile
was inexhaustible like water
until it almost went away
I always wanted more
always the next thing
and what I had, I forgot
I believed that what I loved
was in itself your flesh
but I discovered your being
I don't want to be a shadow on the floor
I want to see myself reflected, transparent
in the spaces and the skies
at the edge of your breasts
hung like a painting on the walls of your belly
wandering on your knees
No, I don't want to be a shadow on the floor
I want to see myself reflected, transparent
in the spaces and the skies
at the edge of your breasts
hung like a painting on the walls of your belly
wandering on your knees
growing along your lips
to reach the passionate zenith
and explode the universe in blood and energy
I'm the passionate zenith
exploding between your legs
growing along your lips
reaching the highest point of communion, of communion
exploding between your legs

SONG MEANING

Cenit is a fiery journey from naive childhood beliefs to an explosive, almost cosmic awakening of the senses. At first the singer lists all the tales he swallowed without question: the moon sleeps when the sun rises, the devil lurks in dark corners, you must never stare at the sun, and there is no life beyond death. Little by little he realizes these limits were taught limits, not truths. The moment he questions them, his world cracks open and he begins to crave something far bigger than the shadows on the floor.

That craving turns into raw, sensual discovery. He no longer wants a love that is only skin deep; he wants to see himself "reflected transparent" inside the vast universe that exists within his lover. As he wanders across her body - "at the edge of your breasts," "hung like a painting on the walls of your womb" - the song paints passion as a spiritual ascent. The cenit (zenith) is the highest point where pleasure, energy and blood collide in a burst of unity, smashing every old superstition. In short, Cenit celebrates breaking free from limiting beliefs and finding transcendence through an all-consuming connection with another person.
