Entre Caníbales Lyrics in English Soda Stereo

“Entre Caníbales” tosses us into a twilight dinner party where desire is the main course and both lovers arrive starving. From the very first line, "Una eternidad esperé este instante", the narrator admits he has waited an eternity for this precise moment. Now that it is finally here, he refuses to let it slip away into "recuerdos quietos" (quiet memories) or be shattered by "balas rasantes" (stray bullets). Instead, he invites his partner to eat him—literally in the lyrics, metaphorically in meaning—turning passion into a fierce act of emotional cannibalism.

Beneath the song’s sensual surface lies a darker reflection on love’s consuming nature. By urging, "tomate el tiempo en desmenuzarme" (take your time shredding me), the singer reveals a willingness to be broken down piece by piece in the name of intimacy. Pain becomes a slow-acting poison the couple will not feel “hasta el fin” (until the very end), hinting that pleasure can mask destruction when feelings move slowly and breathlessly. In the end, “Entre Caníbales” celebrates the intoxicating thrill of giving oneself wholly to another—while warning that such surrender may leave nothing behind but the bones.
