Heartripper (Attaque 77 - Arrancacorazones, English Lyrics)
A song from punk-rock band Attaque 77 (“Attack 77“, with an extra “t“ in Spanish) from their 2003 album “Antihumano“ (“Anti human“). This is one of their greatest hits in my opinion, and a very nice song. It is sung by Mariano Martínez, who usually did backing vocals for Ciro Pertusi (lead singer, who later left the band). I leave the meaning of the song up for your interpretation :).
The translation was quite straightforward, I think. Some notes:
- The title is of course a contraction of “heart ripper“, in both languages.
- “Dominar mi sentir“ is more literally “to dominate my feeling“. Note “feeling“, singular, as in the action of feeling, and not a set of feelings. “Sentir“ is the infinitive verb “to feel“. However I thought this would be very odd to read, so I went with “control my feelings“.
- “I want to intoxicate in you“ could also be “I want to poison myself in you“.
- I added the quotation marks from “you told me“ onwards. This is my interpretation, I didn’t find them elsewhere.
Spanish:
Evitar, resistir
Tu hechizo de suave adicción
Como si fuera fácil
Dominar mi sentir
Y saber que te vas
Y saber que la abstinencia me puede
Todo se vuelve oscuro
Y sólo puedo decir
Más, dame un poco más
Quiero intoxicarme en vos
Arrancacorazones
Hoy, antes del final
Quiero intoxicarme en vos
Arrancacorazones
Dame tu droga
Y pensar que una vez
Me dijiste “terminemos todo“
“Mi vida es un desastre“
“Y no te quiero en él“
Pero al fin te seguí
Por un laberinto de espejos rotos
Y aparecí en un barrio
Del que no puedo salir
Más, dame un poco más
Quiero intoxicarme en vos
Arrancacorazones
Hoy, antes del final
Quiero intoxicarme en vos
Arrancacorazones
Dame tu droga
Más, dame un poco más
Quiero intoxicarme en vos
Arrancacorazones
Hoy, antes del final
Quiero intoxicarme en vos
Arrancacorazones
[x2]
Más
Quiero intoxicarme en vos
Hoy
Quiero intoxicarme en vos
Arrancacorazones
[x2]
Dame tu droga
English:
Avoiding, resisting
Your spell of soft addiction
As if it were easy
To control my feelings
And knowing that you’re leaving
And knowing that abstinence overpowers me
Everything turns dark
And I can only say
More, give me a bit more
I want to intoxicate in you
Heartripper
Today, before the end
I want to intoxicate in you
Heartripper
Give me your drug
And to think that once
You told me “let’s end it all“
“My life is a mess“
“And I don’t want you in it“
But in the end I followed you
Through a maze of broken mirrors
And I ended up in a neighborhood
That I can’t exit
More, give me a bit more
I want to intoxicate in you
Heartripper
Today, before the end
I want to intoxicate in you
Heartripper
Give me your drug
More, give me a bit more
I want to intoxicate in you
Heartripper
Today, before the end
I want to intoxicate in you
Heartripper
[x2]
More
I want to intoxicate in you
Today
I want to intoxicate in you
Heartripper
[x2]
Give me your drug
