Lyrics and translation Bocafloja feat. Meryem Saci - Pulso

Pulso

Calor intenso como el que te inspira
Cortando cuerpos esta distopía
Botín perverso y no me sabe mal
Aunque el complejo colonial lo designo inmoral

Voy a 300 escapando a diario
Aunque su cuento siempre diga que el deseo es calvario
No soy de nadie, es el prefijo base
Si te cuadra voy de lleno tipo kamikaze

Son mis afectos la razón perdida
En una diáspora que es duelo a la emoción divina
Nos falta el aire y nos sobró el recuerdo
Nos contaron como bestias sufragando sexo

Amores truncos, bendición insulsa
Que te toma por la mano cuando el vientre pulsa
Temor y espacio en el confinamiento
Manifiestan lo complejo y la añoranza al viento

Es tan pequeña esta grandilocuencia
Que te exhibe mal parado sin mostrar cadencia
Empuja el pecho en este viaje onírico
Es un descaro lírico, mismo gesto cínico

Es la costumbre, un mandato impuesto
Cosifica mis placeres reduciendo el resto
Esta canícula que incendia todo
Van en fila carnavales explicando el modo

(The heat is rising sky-high)
(Got thoughts sweating out my brain)
(My eyes are open wide)
(Now It′ll never be the same)

(Took off your veil of lies)
(And took down all your disguises)
(I know now who I am)
(I'll never trade my light)

(Uh, I′ll never trade my light)
(Uh, I'll never trade my light)
(Uh, I'll never trade my light)
(Uh, I′ll never trade my light)

Tanta violencia que nos hizo inmunes
Y responde ante pregones de los más comunes
Somos eunucos disparando salvas
Aferrados a un instante sin mesura o calma

Les descargamos al castigo propio
Embelesados por la miel aunque nos cueste el odio
La disonancia que armoniza el fuego
Que postula a tus demonios, que domina el ego

Actos caníbales, son simpatéticos
Cuerpo y mercancía, fallo frenético
Esta es la histeria en lo más íntimo
Lupa vergonzante, no perdona en lo más ínfimo, ¡nah!

Tan arrogantes, incapaces de salvarnos
Disparos hacia el cielo apostando dislocarlo
Mil ataduras que definen la postura
Orgiásticas premisas aniquilan la cordura

La asignatura que se imprime en cada muslo
Gobernatura de este cuerpo y cada pulso
Su misma logia promotora de la asepsia
La excusa clave pa′ vendernos su inocencia

Su llanto inocuo cristaliza la querella
La casa grande, el amasiato, la botella
Van salivando los fantasmas patriarcales
Vamos matando a nuestros héroes habituales

(The heat is rising sky-high)
(Got thoughts sweating out my brain)
(My eyes are open wide)
(Now It'll never be the same)

(Took off your veil of lies)
(And took down all your disguises)
(I know now who I am)
(I′ll never trade my light)

(Uh, I'll never trade my light)
(Uh, I′ll never trade my light)
(Uh, I'll never trade my light)
(Uh, I′ll never trade my light)

(I remember when I first realized)
(Their lenses never fit my real eyes)
(Everything I knew had to be redefined)
(The ancestral design, got my whole perception realigned)

(It started with the hair, dropped the chemicals)
(For my curls to be spared, now everyone wanna touch and stare)
(The curves they compare Nip tuck - Pump the rear)

(But the truth they won't bare, ah)
(I'm not your exotic, no)
(Stop fetishizing, that shit′s really toxic)
(Marinating in my flavor, decolonizing my behavior)

(Not for you to savor, no, no)
(But to honor and respect, yeah)
(Don′t touch just reflect)
('Know thy self′ is the flex, yeah)

Pulse

Intense heat like the one that inspires you
This dystopia cutting through bodies
Perverse bounty and I don't feel bad
Even though the colonial complex designated it immoral

I'm going 300 escaping daily
Although their story always says desire is an ordeal
I belong to no one, it's the base prefix
If you're down, I go all in like a kamikaze

My affections are the lost reason
In a diaspora that mourns divine emotion
We lack air and have memories in excess
They told us about beasts exercising their right to sex

Truncated loves, insipid blessing
That takes you by the hand when your belly pulses
Fear and space in confinement
Manifest the complexity and longing in the wind

This grandiloquence is so small
That it exhibits you poorly without showing cadence
It pushes your chest on this dreamlike journey
It's a lyrical effrontery, the same cynical gesture

It's the custom, an imposed mandate
It objectifies my pleasures by reducing the rest
This heat wave that sets everything on fire
Carnivals go in line explaining the way

(The heat is rising sky-high)
(Got thoughts sweating out my brain)
(My eyes are open wide)
(Now It′ll never be the same)

(Took off your veil of lies)
(And took down all your disguises)
(I know now who I am)
(I'll never trade my light)

(Uh, I′ll never trade my light)
(Uh, I'll never trade my light)
(Uh, I'll never trade my light)
(Uh, I′ll never trade my light)

So much violence that made us immune
And it responds to the cries of the most common
We are eunuchs firing salvos
Clinging to a moment without measure or calm

We unload them on our own punishment
Captivated by honey even if it costs us hatred
The dissonance that harmonizes the fire
That postulates your demons, that dominates the ego

Cannibalistic acts, they are sympathetic
Body and merchandise, a frantic failure
This is hysteria at its most intimate
A shameful magnifying glass, it does not forgive in the most infinitesimal, nah!

So arrogant, incapable of saving ourselves
Shots towards the sky betting on dislocating it
A thousand ties that define the posture
Orgiastic premises annihilate sanity

The subject that is imprinted on each thigh
Governorship of this body and each pulse
Its very own lodge promoting asepsis
The key excuse to sell us their innocence

Their innocuous crying crystallizes the lawsuit
The big house, the concubinage, the bottle
Patriarchal ghosts are salivating
We are killing our usual heroes

(The heat is rising sky-high)
(Got thoughts sweating out my brain)
(My eyes are open wide)
(Now It'll never be the same)

(Took off your veil of lies)
(And took down all your disguises)
(I know now who I am)
(I′ll never trade my light)

(Uh, I'll never trade my light)
(Uh, I′ll never trade my light)
(Uh, I'll never trade my light)
(Uh, I′ll never trade my light)

(I remember when I first realized)
(Their lenses never fit my real eyes)
(Everything I knew had to be redefined)
(The ancestral design, got my whole perception realigned)

(It started with the hair, dropped the chemicals)
(For my curls to be spared, now everyone wanna touch and stare)
(The curves they compare Nip tuck - Pump the rear)

(But the truth they won't bare, ah)
(I'm not your exotic, no)
(Stop fetishizing, that shit′s really toxic)
(Marinating in my flavor, decolonizing my behavior)

(Not for you to savor, no, no)
(But to honor and respect, yeah)
(Don′t touch just reflect)
('Know thy self′ is the flex, yeah)
