Avientame Lyrics

I love this song. I think it can be taken from either the dog's or owner's perspective if you want to interpret it that way. It can simply be a love/abandonment song as well - and a kinky one at that. Although I have seen Amorres Perros (ok, there's dog fighting), and heard Dog:God, the beauty of music and lyrics is that they can be interpretted in a many number of ways regardless of the intended meaning. It's an obvious interchangable metaphor at least. Here are the lyrics in English (I apologize for the poor translation, but I did as best I could):

Embrace me and bite me Take my wounds with you Shove me and leave me While I contemplate your departure In hopes that you come back, and perhaps return for me.

And as you go what will you tell me, tell me What little you know to say Say goodbye, you will no longer be here At least give me this kindness I will miss you, I won’t lie It hurts me that you’re not here and you go

Tie me up and bite me, Take my wounds with you. Whisper to me and bark at me Scream until you no longer hear anything Just see how I stay here waiting though you’re not here In hopes that you come back and perhaps return for me In hopes that you come back and perhaps return for me

My Interpretation
