Gilgamesh Lyrics in English Pascu Y Rodri

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Gilgamesh by Pascu Y Rodri from Spanish to English.
Hello, Sumerian dudes
Welcome to "History Guts" with Pascu and Rodri
Today we bring you the story of Gilgamesh
Before, the gods were kinda shady
They send a flood to the Sumerians
Almost everyone drowns
And among men emerges a very brutish king
Gil-ga-mesh
From head to toe
He's two meters of Sumerian
Handsome and very powerful
He can build
Fortresses in a month
And mistreats his people at will
Gilgamesh
The gods are tired of him
Gilgamesh
They create a wild being
Gilgamesh
Enkidu, a guy with horns
Hates Gilgamesh
Gil-ga
Gilgamesh
In dreams he sees many things
Gilgamesh
He embraces the sky like a woman
Gilgamesh
He doesn't know what this means
Gilgamesh
Gil-ga
Enkidu lives in the forest with his girlfriend
A vegan hippie, eating carrots
Day after day Gilga provokes him
"Friend, I'm gonna break your face"
Gil-ga-mesh
They fought relentlessly
And in the end, they become buddies and kiss passionately
Look at them
They kill monsters everywhere
Where they go, they become loved
Gilgamesh
Ishtar fell in love with him
Gilgamesh
Not with you, buddy
Gilgamesh
The goddess gets upset and sends a bull to Gilgamesh
Gil-ga
Gilgamesh
He manages to defeat the bull without risk
Gilgamesh
Ishtar then curses the king
Gilgamesh
You *****, no one talks to my friend Gilgamesh like that
Gil-ga
He messed up
Enkidu will die
Oh, what a shame
Gilgamesh
He will have to overcome
Two trials
Gil-ga-mesh
With his strength and power
He must stay awake for seven days and falls asleep
He goes to find
Some flowers under the sea
But he's foolish and gets robbed
Gilgamesh
Enkidu is not doing well
Gilgamesh
He can't do anything for him
Gilgamesh
Soon the poor one is left alone
Gilgamesh
Gil-ga
Gilgamesh
He goes to the underworld for him
Gilgamesh
His friend doesn't know who he is
Gilgamesh
Enkidu has become a bit of a zombie
Gilgamesh
Gil-ga
Gilgamesh
He hired a gig a month
Gilgamex
Eating tacos, damn dude
Gilgamesh
In June, we release a book and it's out
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.
