Gilgamesh Lyrics in English Pascu Y Rodri

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Gilgamesh by Pascu Y Rodri from Spanish to English.
Hi, Sumerian macho men
Welcome to Gutting History with Pascu and Rodri
Today we bring you the story of Gilgamesh
Back then the gods were kinda shady
They send a flood to the Sumerians
Almost everybody dies drowning
And among men a very rough king emerges
Gil-ga-mesh
From his forehead down to his feet
He's two meters of Sumerian
Handsome and really powerful
He can build
Fortresses in a month
And he mistreats his people at will
Gilgamesh
The gods have gotten tired of him
Gilgamesh
They create a savage being
Gilgamesh
Enkidu, a dude with horns
He hates Gilgamesh
Gil-ga
Gilgamesh
In dreams he sees many things
Gilgamesh
He hugs the sky like a woman
Gilgamesh
He doesn't know what that means
Gilgamesh
Gil-ga
Enkidu lives in the forest with his girlfriend
Vegan hippie, he eats carrots
Day after day Gilga provokes him
'Buddy, I'm going to smash your face'
Gil-ga-mesh
They beat each other mercilessly
And in the end they become bros and kiss hard
Look at them
They kill monsters everywhere
Wherever they go they make people love them
Gilgamesh
Ishtar fell in love with him
Gilgamesh
Not with you, blockhead
Gilgamesh
The goddess gets angry and sends a bull to Gilgamesh
Gil-ga
Gilgamesh
He defeats it without risk
Gilgamesh
Ishtar then curses the king
Gilgamesh
You sl*t, nobody talks that way to my buddy Gilgamesh
Gil-ga
She's f*cked up
Enkidu will die
Oh, what a shame
Gilgamesh
He will have to overcome
Two trials
Gil-ga-mesh
With his strength and his power
He must stay awake seven days and he falls asleep
He goes to look for
Some flowers under the sea
But he's dumb and lets them get stolen
Gilgamesh
Enkidu isn't feeling well
Gilgamesh
He can't do anything for him
Gilgamesh
Very soon the poor guy ends up alone
Gilgamesh
Gil-ga
Gilgamesh
He goes to the underworld to fetch him
Gilgamesh
His friend doesn't know who he is
Gilgamesh
Enkidu has turned a bit zombie
Gilgamesh
Gil-ga
Gilgamesh
He has signed up for one gig a month
Gilgamex
Eating tacos, f*cking dude
Gilgamesh
In June we release a book and it drops
Gilgamesh

SONG MEANING

Gilgamesh by Pascu y Rodri is a lightning-fast, tongue-in-cheek retelling of the world’s oldest epic. The lyrics whisk us to ancient Sumer where the super-buff, two-meter-tall King Gilgamesh builds cities in a month, bullies his people and generally acts like a rock-star tyrant. Fed up, the gods create Enkidu, a horned wildman who goes from sworn enemy to bromantic BFF after an epic fist-fight. Together they slay monsters, reject the love of the fiery goddess Ishtar and even defeat a divine bull. Yet their swagger has a price: the gods strike Enkidu down, plunging Gilgamesh into a frantic, almost slapstick quest for immortality that ends in failure and the sobering realization that no one can outrun death.

Packed with modern slang, veggie jokes and even a taco cameo, the song turns a 4,000-year-old story into a comedic music video that still preserves its timeless themes. Behind the cartoonish battles and meme-worthy lines lie messages about friendship, humility and the universal human fear of mortality—proof that, whether in clay tablets or catchy choruses, some stories never get old.
