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
