"Rompecabezas" by Aterciopelados

"Rompecabezas" by the Colombian group Aterciopelados. Rompecabezas is spanish for puzzle. In the lyric the woman is pregnant by a man who turned out to be abusive and evil. And she is glad he is out of her life and so that the child will not have any of his influence. I always found this song very haunting.

I made an attempt to translate the lyrics to English. Like any text it flows better in its native form and is open to several interpretations. Lyrics that rhyme smoothly in their own language often come across as clumsy when you try to approximate them in another language. This is my first attempt at lyric translation, I welcome other interpretations.

Your embraces
They shattered me like saber blows
Your eyes were like razors
I was devastated and overwhelmed with tears
The flame of your mouth was red and crazy
it burned me and blew me away

I will begin a new life
A puzzle that I have to put together
Far away from your influence
This cruel sweetness that invaded me

Your promises grew like weeds
like the sadness inside of me
Your meanness took me by surprise
you are very skilled at hurting
Your caresses seemed so delicious
but bad news, they were pure evil

I will begin a new life
A puzzle that I have to put together
Far away from your influence
from that madness that twisted my faith

I no longer want to run after you
I no longer want to scream your name

Far away from your influence
From the near-death that was your love
I will begin….
