[edit]

As the lyrics are rather stream of consciousness, Bosé wrote a sentence or two as a dedication for certain people at the end of each song.

No podré salir de este rincón más que a través de la espada y mirándote a los ojos. (To you who have just arrived in this world... I will not be able to leave except through the sword and staring at you in the eyes.)
