Amores Veloces Lyrics in English by Nanpa Básico
Ayunas translates to "fasting" or "on an empty stomach." It's an interesting word because it's not commonly found in song lyrics, especially in the context of daily activities.
In this song, Nanpa Básico sings, "Ahora escribo y fumo en ayunas" (Now I write and smoke while fasting). This line paints a vivid picture of his morning routine, suggesting a raw, unfiltered state of mind as he creates, making the word memorable and unique to the song's narrative.
Nanpa Básico opens by telling you what he is before you can find out for yourself: "Sabes que estoy roto y que no me importa nada" (You know I'm broken and I don't care about anything). The title names the condition — "Sufro de amores veloces" (I suffer from fast loves) — and the line after it is the whole arrangement: "Te llego a tiempo más no me voy a quedar" (I get to you on time, but I'm not going to stay).
What he offers instead of staying is specific. Not money, not the career: "No te hablo de plata ni de mi carrera / Yo tengo estilo y tengo carretera" (I'm not talking about money or my career / I've got style and I've got road). If things go that way he'll hand over "mis amargos y mis grises" (my bitters and my greys), and he asks for the same plainness back — "Que seas tú y no lo disfraces" (Be yourself and don't dress it up), "No es lo que haces, es cómo lo haces" (It's not what you do, it's how you do it). The request he keeps returning to, "Hazme el amor como si me conocieras" (Make love to me like you knew me), asks for the closeness without the promise attached — and in the last verse the word itself comes apart, conocieras, conocieras, as the track fades out.
