OBSESIÓN Lyrics (English Translation) – CARABIN3 & Svnti
[Intro]
The New Dawn, ma.
[Refrain]
She tells me that I’m her obsession.
Her boyfriend doesn’t do it the way I do.
I always have you in my imagination
Doing it, sweating from the heat.
[Chorus]
You sleep with him, but you dream of me.
Picture it, ma with no lights on.
Telling me not to stop, that I’m your man, that I should put it in.
And I go crazy just to have you on top of me.
I know you have a boyfriend, but he’s not the one who controls you.
You say it’s the last time, but this never ends.
[Verse]
When she’s with me, I make her feel like she’s mine.
But when she’s with him, she feels alone.
Every time we meet, we meet in secret.
You only call me so I can devour you, ah.
We set the suite on fire, yeah.
We do it slow, but we don’t stop.
More than fifteen stacks in the Louis V van.
Watching the stars through the inside of the Maybach.
Don’t let them find out stay quiet, it’s a secret.
Turn off the lights, I’m gonna give you all of me.
If you wanna do it again, I’ll come back and give it to you.
You make me lose control when I press you right there.
[Chorus]
You sleep with him, but you dream of me.
Picture it, ma with no lights on.
Telling me not to stop, that I’m your man, that I should put it in.
And I go crazy just to have you on top of me.
I know you have a boyfriend, but he’s not the one who controls you.
You say it’s the last time, but this never ends.
[Refrain]
She tells me that I’m her obsession.
Her boyfriend doesn’t do it the way I do.
I always have you in my imagination
Doing it, sweating from the heat.
[Outro]
From the heat, you’re my muse, I’m your obsession.
On top of me, jumping.
You’re on top of the world, yeah.
You think of me while you’re with that idiot.
He wants to escape, and I want to take you out of that prison.
You sleep with him, but you dream of me.
Picture it, ma with no lights on.
Telling me not to stop, that I’m your man, that I should put it in.
Key Improvements & Stylistic Choices
-
Raw, Passionate Tone: The language is direct and unflinching. Phrases like “I make her feel like she’s mine,” “You only call me so I can devour you,” and “We set the suite on fire” capture the intensity of forbidden desire.
-
Nocturnal, Secretive Atmosphere: The song creates a world of late-night meetings, hidden encounters, and stolen moments. Lines like “Every time we meet, we meet in secret,” “Don’t let them find out stay quiet,” and “Turn off the lights” reinforce the clandestine nature of the affair.
-
Enhanced Imagery:
-
“More than fifteen stacks in the Louis V van” specific, luxurious, and coded.
-
“Watching the stars through the inside of the Maybach” intimate and cinematic.
-
“You’re on top of the world, yeah” both literal and metaphorical.
-
“I want to take you out of that prison” a powerful metaphor for a relationship that feels trapped.
-
-
Preserved Raw Edge: The translation doesn’t soften the explicit content. Phrases like “I should put it in,” “devour you,” and “press you right there” remain direct and unapologetic, true to the original’s intensity.
-
Effective Repetition: The chorus and refrain repeat, reinforcing the song’s central themes: obsession, secret desire, and the impossibility of ending the cycle.
-
Clear Emotional Conflict: The narrator knows the situation is wrong (“You say it’s the last time, but this never ends”) but is powerless to stop. The outro’s line “He wants to escape, and I want to take you out of that prison” adds a layer of complex motivation desire mixed with a desire to rescue.
-
Natural English Phrasing: The translation avoids awkward constructions. Lines like “He’s not the one who controls you,” “I’ll come back and give it to you,” and “You make me lose control” sound organic and conversational.
-
Luxury Details: References to “Louis V,” “Maybach,” and “fifteen stacks” ground the song in a specific world of wealth that contrasts with the secrecy of the affair.
