Description
My heart pounds like an engine at full throttle - and mixed in with this rhythm are fatigue, memories, and too much pain. Here, alcohol becomes an ally, and the lines become something like a confession, where every word is half a cry, half a scar. Growing up too early, losing too much, and still keeping going, as if speed itself will save you.
The text conveys the bitterness of loss, but also a proud “I didn't break.” A mixture of youthful audacity and heavy maturity: angels in heaven, courts on earth, and between them - an attempt to stay alive, to shine at least for a moment. The music seems to draw you into a whirlwind, where every beat hits your temples and every image burns.
And yet, there is light in this chaos: memories of loved ones, fans, a mother whose blessing is carefully carried into the night. The result is not just a track about survival, but a chronicle of a journey where pain and glory go hand in hand, and both become fuel.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Agua entre mis manos, Cardhu de 12 años
Bajo penas por la seis en 300 caballos
Hoy voy a beber hasta el fallo
A enchufarme clekas con mi hermano que parecen rayos
Muero en el aire que ahora cubre su espacio
Escribo frases que parecen epitafios
Todo lo que toco o lo hago oro, o lo desgracio
Intercambio el corazón con ella cuando la abrazo
Mírame a los ojos, dime, ¿notas el cambio?
Mira mis ojeras zorra, se nota el cansancio
Me he rulado un Ray que saca bolas del estadio
Me he sentao' en el trono sin quererlo, ¿Yo? Claudio
Agua entre mis manos, Cardhu de 12 años
Subo kilos por la cinco en 300 caballos
Hoy voy a beber hasta el fallo
No he podio' olvidarla y mira que han pasao' los años
Tengo antecedentes, juicios pendientes
¿Te gustan los pendientes? Ma te pongo dos diamantes
Hasta te dejo un yo en el vientre
Lo nuestro no es pa' siempre, puta pero es brillante
Tengo discos de oro, de platino y ni los cuelgo
Tengo bien de putas que me llaman y las cuelgo
Salgo flotando con Nike, cuervo
Y un beso de mi madre por si esta noche no vuelvo
Agua entre mis manos, Cardhu de 12 años
Bajo penas por la seis en 300 caballos
Hoy voy a beber hasta el fallo
A enchufarme clekas con mi hermano, que parecen rayos
Yo no se hacer bases, ni sé si vale pa' base
Mi hermanito se mató y ahora en el cielo tengo un ángel
Igual que lo tuve en la cárcel
No sabes lo que te echo de menos, que en paz descanses
Familia como el Opus
Las orejas con los Lotus
Os pongo a currar como pidiendo el Habeas corpus
Lucho por lo mío como sea, como Sortu
Me he quedao vacío como abortos
Agua entre mis manos, Cardhu de 12 años
Bajo kilos por la cinco en 300 caballos
Hoy voy a beber hasta el fallo
A otras puede que sí, pero a ella no la engaño
Parece que me tocan pero nah
Soy la creación de Adán
Ya he bregao' con to' lo malo
No me asusta el Gran Slam
Si hago to' esto es x mis fans
Si me sales por Millán
Se de estrellas en la orilla, que ya nunca brillarán
Agua entre mis manos, Cardhu de 12 años
El Finga y el Tiger, esos son mis hermanos
Toma lo que tengo zorra, a ti te lo regalo
Así se queda, negra yo no regrabo
English translation
Water in my hands, 12 year old Cardhu
Under penalties for the six in 300 horses
Today I'm going to drink until I fail
To plug in clekas with my brother that look like lightning
I die in the air that now covers its space
I write phrases that look like epitaphs
Everything I touch or make I gold, or I disgrace it
I exchange my heart with her when I hug her
Look me in the eyes, tell me, do you notice the change?
Look at my dark circles, bitch, you can see the tiredness
I have played a Ray who takes balls out of the stadium
I have sat on the throne without wanting to, me? Claudius
Water in my hands, 12 year old Cardhu
I gain kilos for the five in 300 horses
Today I'm going to drink until I fail
I have not been able to forget her and look how the years have passed
I have a record, pending trials
Do you like the earrings? Ma I give you two diamonds
I even left a self in your belly
Ours is not forever, bitch, but it is brilliant
I have gold and platinum records and I don't even hang them up.
I have quite a few whores who call me and I hang up on them
I float away with Nike, crow
And a kiss from my mother in case I don't come back tonight
Water in my hands, 12 year old Cardhu
Under penalties for the six in 300 horses
Today I'm going to drink until I fail
To plug in clekas with my brother, who look like lightning
I don't know how to make bases, nor do I know if it's worth it for a base
My little brother killed himself and now I have an angel in heaven
Just like I had in jail
You don't know how much I miss you, may you rest in peace
Family like Opus
The ears with the Lotus
I put you to work as if asking for Habeas corpus
I fight for mine no matter what, like Sortu
I have been left empty like abortions
Water in my hands, 12 year old Cardhu
I lose kilos for the five in 300 horses
Today I'm going to drink until I fail
To others it may be, but I am not deceiving her.
It seems like they touch me but nah
I am the creation of Adam
I've already dealt with all the bad things
I'm not scared of the Grand Slam
If I do everything this is for my fans
If you leave me for Millán
I know of stars on the shore, that will never shine again
Water in my hands, 12 year old Cardhu
The Finga and the Tiger, those are my brothers
Take what I have bitch, I give it to you
That's how it stays, black, I don't re-record
