Dulce Veneno [English translation]

There are hidden truths

That are hiding in the seams

Through lies, the shores of society rise and all that it denies

Which is true, which is a lie

Having your eyes when you look for affection

They have something in the back but your eyes don't believe them

You teach a child to look for a handsome man from a soap opera

and end up with a man who loves himself more than he respects you

You are poison that flows through the body

And I am a desert without your hands

You are a rifle cartridge that my hands can rest on

I need you to live

Your ephemeral song for me

Sweet poison

There are hidden truths that hide in the hair

Like how blonde hair can change your DNA

Everything is easy, everybody wants you

But your night will be a truth or a lie

Having glasses all the time are creating blindness

Everywhere you look there are videos of twerking butts

The things that motivate, lift you up, and guide you

You are poison that flows through the body

And I am a desert without your hands

You are a rifle cartridge that my hands can rest on

I need you to live

Your ephemeral song for me

Sweet poison

You are poison that flows through the body

And I am a desert without your hands

You are a rifle cartridge that my hands can rest on

I need you to live

Your ephemeral song for me

Sweet poison
