Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Deméter by Pascu Y Rodri from Spanish to English.

Intro

Hello, vegans and herbivores

Welcome to "Unraveling History"

With Pascu and Rodri

Intro

Today we bring you the goddess of agriculture

Demeter

Verse 1

Her dad ate her

Her little brother saved her

She fights against fierce titans

Defeated them all

Verse 1

They divide all the Earth

But not with her

Chorus 1

Goddess of harvest and bread

She won't tell you her mysteries

They went to a wedding

She falls in love with her nephew Iasion

Zeus doesn't like it

And throws a destructive lightning bolt at him

He sleeps with her

And then impregnates her

She gave birth to a beautiful girl

Poor Demeter

Verse 2

But Zeus gave her away

Hades went and kidnapped her

He searched everywhere for her

But couldn't find her

Verse 2

I saw your brother taking her

Zeus allowed it

Chorus 2

Angry, she leaves her home

And the earth begins to dry up

She goes into service

Of a famous king who accepted her

She takes care of his children

She grows very fond of both

She bakes one

In the fireplace

To turn him into a god

Poor Demeter

Bridge

You, what's going on here?

Demeter, come back to me

Someone make her come out

I don't know what to do without you

Release my little one

Let her come back and it's over

Hades sets her free

With a slight condition

She will return to my kingdom every winter

And her mother finally calmed down

Chorus 3

She left her chariot

To one of the children she cared for

She filled it with grain

And taught him to be a farmer

And with great dedication

She teaches her mysteries

And throughout Greece she organized

Festivals to Demeter

SONG MEANING

Get ready for a mythological roller-coaster! In “Deméter,” Pascu y Rodri turn the ancient Greek tale of the goddess of agriculture into a fast-paced musical comedy. The lyrics sprint through Demeter’s wild family drama: her father Cronos swallows her, her brother Zeus rescues her, she crushes the Titans, and she becomes the revered keeper of harvest, bread and closely guarded mysteries. Things get messy at a wedding when Demeter falls for her nephew Iasion. Zeus reacts with a lethal lightning bolt, then beds Demeter himself and spirits away their newborn daughter. The chaos escalates when Hades kidnaps that same daughter (Persephone), sending Demeter on a frantic, globe-trotting search that leaves the earth barren in her sorrow.

The song then spotlights Demeter’s furious strike: crops fail, mortals suffer, and even gods panic. Disguised, she babysits the sons of a mortal king, nearly makes one immortal by roasting him in a fireplace, and only quits when the family freaks out. Zeus finally negotiates: Persephone must spend each winter in the underworld with Hades, returning every spring to her mother. Demeter’s joy revives the fields and inspires grand Greek festivals in her honor, while she gifts agriculture to humankind. With rapid-fire humor and catchy riffs, Pascu y Rodri transform ancient tragedy into a cheeky anthem that explains nothing less than the changing seasons and the birth of farming celebrations across Greece.
