The tempo surges into a slow, aching 3/4 — a waltz of death. The singer switches to Spanish: “No pregunto por las heridas, / sé que duelen más al amanecer. / En brazos de un asesino, / aprendí a no querer volver.” (“I don’t ask about the wounds / I know they hurt more at dawn. / In the arms of an assassin, / I learned not to want to return.”) Here, the addiction to danger is eroticized. The assassin’s arms are a prison and a cradle.

The song opens with a low, droning chuniri (Georgian bowed instrument) or a Spanish classical guitar played en sordina . The female or male vocalist (the gender is ambiguous) sings in Georgian: “სარაის კარები ღიაა, / შემოდი, აჩრდილო, შემოდი” (“The doors of the sarai are open / Enter, ghost, enter.”) The tone is welcoming yet funereal. The assassin has been invited. The victim knows. sarais mk-vleloba - En Brazos de un Asesino
