CARONTE (English Translation) Lyrics

[Intro: Recycled J]
For the gold and the love
For the gold and the love

[Verse 1: Recycled J]
I’ve got two coins of fucking cold metal
Over my eyes, floating in the river
To pay the ferryman when this game comes to an end
W-What good is money to me if I don’t burn it before I die?
The brightness in my eyes can’t be bought with bills
If you love me, go, I’m here to spend checks, checks
Pasta, cash, money, dollars, euros, pesos, yen
In the name of the father, the son, amen
Natos y Waor, Recycled J (Yeah)

[Verse 2: Natos]
To the one who chose to be Judas for 30 dirty coins
No matter how much gold it is, it’s still a chain
I bought joints in pesetas and a penthouse in La Peseta
If I gain a kilo every year, who would say I’m on a diet?
Headlining on my tombstone
Chemistry and alchemy, mathematics
Lost gaze and pale face, between laughter and tears
I know that until I die, I won’t turn the page

[Chorus: Recycled J]
For the gold, run without looking back
For the gold, when you have it, you want more
For the gold, if they have to bury me
For The gold, yeah, if I die, let it be without the gold
And let them share it among everyone
When I die, only the gold remains, and it will shine
When I’m gone

[Verse 3: Recycled J]
I have my eyes closed (Yeah)
My heart is buried
Shorty, for you I’ve cut off both ears and my tail (Yeah)
I’m like a fallen angel, dressed in Prada at Serrano
I swear it wasn’t me (No), I don’t know what the fuck happened
I only see red, red, red blood on my hands
We’ll kill ourselves for bills (Prra)
Only metal, wet paper
I earn, spend, earn
Until the worms eat me
Yours have already sucked me dry
For me, it’s always a piece of cake

[Verse 4: Waor & Recycled J]
What good are mackerels, fur coats
Designer clothes and champagne in hotels
Shooting around in a Cayenne, pesos, Dollars and yen?
They love you for what you have and not for who you are (No, no)
If you give me the choice between money or love
The purple bills or your passion-red lips
The diamonds set in a Dior chain or your warmth
I want to keep both (Uh, uh, uh)

[Chorus: Recycled J]
For the gold, run without looking back
For the gold, when you have it, you want more
For the gold, if they have to bury me
For the gold, yeah, if I die, let it be without the gold
And let them share it among everyone
When I die, only the gold remains, and it will shine
When I’m gone

CARONTE Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Recycled J]
The intro introduces the dual motivation behind human actions—gold and love—setting the philosophical tone of the song. Recycled J immediately presents the tension between materialism and emotional fulfillment, foreshadowing the internal struggles explored throughout the track.

[Verso 1: Recycled J]
Recycled J uses the myth of Charon to represent the finality of death and the futility of hoarding wealth. He visualizes himself with coins on his eyes, ready to pay for his passage into the afterlife. This verse critiques the pursuit of money for its own sake, emphasizing that wealth is meaningless if not enjoyed or shared. His tone is rebellious and reflective, underscoring a life philosophy rooted in intensity and impermanence.

[Verso 2: Natos]
Natos delivers a verse packed with gritty realism and poetic irony. He calls out those who betray values for wealth, likening money—even gold—to chains that imprison rather than liberate. His bars touch on personal history, economic hardship, and the fleeting nature of fame and fortune. The line about not turning the page until death reveals a deep sense of existential inertia.

[Estribillo: Recycled J]
The chorus captures the addictive and destructive nature of the pursuit of wealth. Recycled J highlights the insatiable hunger for more, warning that money often brings emptiness rather than fulfillment. He imagines death stripped of wealth’s illusion—where only gold remains, gleaming but lifeless. It’s a meditation on legacy and what truly matters when everything else is gone.

[Verso 3: Recycled J]
Recycled J continues with a confessional and self-aware tone, mixing emotional vulnerability with dark humor. His references to physical sacrifice and violence reflect the extreme lengths people go to for love and money. The repeated imagery of blood and corrupted paper (money) amplifies the theme of self-destruction masked as ambition. His bravado is laced with bitterness, signaling a deeper dissatisfaction.

[Verso 4: Waor & Recycled J]
In this collaborative verse, Waor delivers a sobering reflection on materialism’s hollowness. He questions the worth of designer lifestyles and luxurious displays, exposing how people are valued more for their possessions than their essence. The verse ends with an ironic twist—choosing both love and money—suggesting that despite their awareness, the pull of both remains irresistible. Recycled J joins in with a moody hum, closing the verse with a blend of temptation and resignation.

[Estribillo: Recycled J]
The final chorus reiterates the song’s central message: the endless chase for gold is a race toward emptiness. Recycled J envisions a legacy where gold outlives him, but calls for it to be shared—perhaps as a final gesture of redemption. His voice carries both weariness and wisdom, leaving listeners with a haunting image of what remains after all is spent.
