Bajo el signo de Caín

Bajo el signo de Caín (English: Under the sign of Cain) is the twelfth album from Latin music singer-songwriter Miguel Bosé. Released on June 8, 1993, it was his fifth full-length album for the WEA Latina label.

Track Notes
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.

Te comería el corazón
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.)
 * A ti que acabas de llegar...

Lo que hay es lo que ves

 * A Javier, Edith & Manolo mis amigos del alma y de la carretera... y de muchas otras cosas más también. (To Javier, Edith & Manolo; my friends of the soul and highway... and many other things as well.)

Si tú no vuelves

 * A la Mami y a Pablito, con ellas buscando estrellas. (To Mami and Pablito; with them looking for stars.)

Nada particular

 * A Mahala, Javier, Pepe & Rafa porque con vosotros, nunca me siento en el exilio. (To Mahala, Javier & Pepe, because with them, I never feel alone.)

Mayo

 * En memoria de un Mayo, revolucionario de corazón. (In memory of May, revolutionary at heart.)

Bajo el signo de Caín

 * A mis hermanos Nacho el Delfín, y Nacho el de las Alas Mediterráneas. A mi Padre, el Maestro. (To my brothers Nacho the Dolphin, and Nacho the one of the Mediterranean wings. And to my father, the Maestro.)

Wako-Shaman

 * A Bimba, Olfo, Nicolás & Jara... Que aprendáis a cuidar de esta tierra que es vuestra única casa. (To Bimba, Olfo, Nicolás & Jara... Learn to take care of this land, as it is your only home.)

Imagínate que te quiero
