Casanova Lyrics

who are you, love, and where have you been?
do you know my face?
i'm sorry, love, but i can't let you in
love don't own this place

and i can't fall asleep in your arms
no i can't fall asleep in your arms
so tell me a story
and i'll put myself to sleep

spider got me when i was your age
a casanova
funny, people start sounding the same
when you're older

and i can't fall asleep in your arms
no i can't fall asleep in your arms
so tell me a story
and i'll put myself to sleep

take a seat, love, and
bring me to Paris
read me The Purple Land
i'll be Abel and
chase you to Lima
holding my hat in hand

call you Paquita and
sing you to sleep, love,
in the purple land

i'll be Abel if
you are Rima
oh, i'll be your land

and i'll
prepare
a place
for you
...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is one of my favorite songs by San Fermin. They make beautiful music. This probably isn't the actual meaning of this song. It's just what it makes me think of. This song makes me think of two people in love. The singer has untimely died. In the first verse, his lover comes looking for him but they can't find him. He knows that they're there but he "can't let them in" because even their love can't bring them together again. The refrain is my favorite part of the song. He "can't fall asleep in their arms" but he is still comforted by knowing that they are thinking of him. The rest of the song continues this theme, until the end, where He promises a place for his love in heaven.v
