IN MEMORIAM Lyrics in English by Nach, Kany García
Kamikazes refers to Japanese suicide pilots from World War II. It's a striking and unusual word to find in a Spanish song, making it instantly memorable.
In this song, Nach uses it metaphorically to describe people who rush through life without purpose, acting like "kamikazes de la prisa" (kamikazes of haste). It's a powerful image that encourages listeners to live more intentionally rather than blindly sacrificing themselves to the rush of life.
IN MEMORIAM is Nach's tribute to everyone we've lost, featuring Kany García. He opens by imagining getting off the train that's carrying him away, if it meant one more moment with someone who's gone.
Rather than sitting only in sorrow, the song turns loss into something gentler. Angels descend to comfort the grieving, memory works like a painter keeping a lost face alive, and every star in the night sky stands in for someone who's no longer here.
It ends on hope instead of despair: pain becomes a breeze carrying the wreckage away, love never really ends in the coffin, and the people we've lost keep living through the stories we tell about them. A quiet farewell, in memoriam, for all of them.
