Description
Here, prayer intertwines with temptation: it sounds like ‘Santa María, save me,’ but between the lines you can sense something completely different - the desire to drown again and again in a dangerous storm. The female image here is not just a muse, but a natural disaster into which you throw yourself without an umbrella and without insurance, knowing that you will drown, but not resisting.
The music rumbles like a thunderstorm: flashes of light, heavy air, tension in every chord. In this story, salvation and destruction go hand in hand - either a prayer for protection or an admission of weakness in the face of one's own passion. And the stronger the storm, the more attraction and alluring danger there is in it.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Santa María
Líbranos de todo mal
Y ampáranos, Señora
De este terrible animal
Santa María (hey, hey)
Líbranos de todo mal (Ra-Rauw)
Y ampáranos, Señora (dice)
El cielo se cae (Santa Ma-)
Relámpagos
Diosa de mi caos (Santa Ma-)
Me di cuenta que no se puede huir
Me hundo en tu marea (Santa Ma-)
La corriente me lleva (Santa Ma-)
Con fuerza pelea (Santa Ma-)
Cómo ella lo menea (Santa Ma-)
You take me high, high, high, oh (Santa Ma-)
Me elevó (Santa Ma-)
Pa dejarme caer (Santa Ma-)
Tú eres asesina (Santa Ma-)
Y cuidarme de ti debo
Santa María
Líbranos de todo mal
Y ampáranos, Señora
De este terrible animal
Santa María
Líbranos de todo mal
Y ampáranos, Señora
No salgan pa afuera
Pongan las tormenteras
No salgan pa afuera
Pongan las tormenteras
No salgan pa afuera
Pongan las tormenteras
No salgan pa afuera
No salgan pa afuera (Ra-Rauw)
Dicen que el temporal viene por ahí
Y, negra, yo sólo tengo miedo de ti
No me puedo contener, se altera la marea dentro de ti
Buscaba un salvador y la pinté como Dalí
Dándole al cuero y no es del pandero
Al natural y no te hablo de Tego
En la cama cayó un aguacero
Y yo sin paraguas por sus agujeros
Y qué agresividad
Se ve la maldad
Estática electricidad
Al tocarte tu cuerpo me da
Santa María, líbrame de...
Esta noche ella sale (esta noche ella sale)
Le gusta el baile (le gusta el baile)
Seductor su traje (seductor su traje)
Tiene a todos locos (yeh-yeh-yeh-yeh)
Cuidao con su chantaje (cuidao, cuidao)
Que de sus juegos salen (viraos, viraos)
Yo haré que tú me llames (mami)
Yo soy la montaña, mamita, aquieto
Santa María
Líbranos de todo mal
Y ampáranos, Señora
De este terrible animal
Santa María
Líbranos de todo mal
Y ampáranos, Señora
De este terrible animal
English translation
Saint Mary
Deliver us from all evil
And protect us, Lady
Of this terrible animal
Santa Maria (hey, hey)
Deliver us from all evil (Ra-Rauw)
And protect us, Lady (he says)
The sky is falling (Santa Ma-)
Lightning
Goddess of my chaos (Santa Ma-)
I realized that you can't run away
I sink in your tide (Santa Ma-)
The current carries me (Santa Ma-)
Fight with strength (Santa Ma-)
How she shakes it (Santa Ma-)
You take me high, high, high, oh (Santa Ma-)
He lifted me up (Santa Ma-)
To let me fall (Santa Ma-)
You are a murderer (Santa Ma-)
And I must take care of you
Saint Mary
Deliver us from all evil
And protect us, Lady
Of this terrible animal
Saint Mary
Deliver us from all evil
And protect us, Lady
Don't go outside
Put the storm shutters
Don't go outside
Put the storm shutters
Don't go outside
Put the storm shutters
Don't go outside
Don't go outside (Ra-Rauw)
They say the storm is coming that way
And, black girl, I'm only afraid of you
I can't contain myself, the tide inside you changes
I was looking for a savior and I painted her like Dalí
Hitting the leather and it's not from the tambourine
Naturally and I'm not talking to you about Tego
A downpour fell on the bed
And I without an umbrella through its holes
And what aggressiveness
You see the evil
Static electricity
When I touch you, your body gives me
Holy Mary, deliver me from...
Tonight she goes out (tonight she goes out)
He likes dancing (he likes dancing)
Seductive your suit (seductive your suit)
He has everyone crazy (yeh-yeh-yeh-yeh)
Be careful with your blackmail (be careful, be careful)
What comes out of their games (turn, turn)
I will make you call me (mommy)
I am the mountain, mommy, be still
Saint Mary
Deliver us from all evil
And protect us, Lady
Of this terrible animal
Saint Mary
Deliver us from all evil
And protect us, Lady
Of this terrible animal
