Canción De Amor Caducada Lyrics in English Melendi

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Canción De Amor Caducada by Melendi from Spanish to English.
I don't want siren songs
I don't want lumps in my throat
I don't want to dance with sorrow
Because I'm afraid of stepping on it
I don't want to know what I'm talking about
I don't want to beat around the bush
I don't want to know as the devil does
What slips away from me because I'm old
I know no commandments
Beyond my nose
That's why I wear patches
In my soul and scars
And my heart already old
Abused and with stretch marks
From mixing sorrows so much
With so few joys
I've got a damaged vein in my heart
That is really bad and it leaks when I see you, my love
I've got a damaged vein
And this love song that is expired
I don't want to throw in the towel
Nor die on a stage
I want to come when you go
And see my name in your diary
Be like the bald guy who shaves
His head always down to zero
Because he prefers to sit alone
Rather than be pushed by certainty
I know no commandments
Beyond my nose
That's why I wear patches
In my soul and scars
And my heart already old
Abused and with stretch marks
From mixing sorrows so much
With so few joys
I've got a damaged vein in my heart
That is really bad and it leaks when I see you, my love
I've got a damaged vein
And this love song that is expired
I've got a damaged vein in my heart
That is really bad and it leaks when I see you, my love
I've got a damaged vein
And this love song that is expired
I don't know what you're always doing
Stuck in my blood
I've already tasted the bottom and I don't like how it tastes
The lights don't turn on
On my dark side and
My biggest sin
Leaving none behind
I've got a damaged vein in my heart
That is really bad and it leaks when I see you, my love
I've got a damaged vein
And this love song that is expired
I've got a damaged vein in my heart
That is really bad and it leaks when I see you, my love
I've got a damaged vein
And this love song that is expired

SONG MEANING

“Canción De Amor Caducada” is Melendi’s tongue-in-cheek confession that his old, battle-scarred heart is running on fumes. He sings about a “vena averiada” (a faulty vein) that flares up whenever he sees the person he loves, but he also admits the romance’s best-before date has long passed. Tired of siren songs, half-truths, and dancing with sorrow, the Asturian artist lists everything he no longer wants: empty drama, forced optimism, commandments beyond his own nose. The result is a vivid picture of someone who has patched his soul so many times that only scars remain, yet who still refuses to throw in the towel.

Behind the playful metaphors and catchy rhythm lies a bittersweet message: love can grow stale, hearts can malfunction, and joy can be scarce, but stubborn hope keeps us singing anyway. Melendi’s narrator pokes fun at his cynicism, compares himself to a shaved-head optimist who beats fate to its punch, and ultimately turns a worn-out love song into a self-aware anthem about resilience. Listening to it feels like watching someone laugh at their own heartbreak, proof that humor and honesty often walk hand in hand when love goes past its expiration date.
