Algo
Deborah De Corral Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pero, algo, algo de ti me asusta
Yo no sé qué es
Yo no sé qué es
Algo, algo de ti me puede
Pero hay algo, algo en ti que duele
Yo no sé qué haré
Yo no sé qué haré
Yo no sé qué haré
Pensar en huir o dejarme atrapar
Dudo, y cuando dudo pierdo
Ya ni a mí me entiendo
Abrirme a sentir o encerrarme a temblar
Sé que igual, de cualquier modo
No puedo tenerlo todo
Algo, algo de ti me gusta
Pero, algo, algo de ti me asusta
Yo no sé qué haré
Yo no sé qué haré
Yo no sé qué haré
Pensar en huir o dejarme atrapar
Dudo, y cuando dudo pierdo
Ya ni a mí me entiendo
Abrirme a sentir o encerrarme a temblar
Sé que igual, de cualquier modo
No puedo tenerlo todo
Yo no sé qué haré
Yo no sé qué haré
Yo no sé qué haré
Algo, algo de ti
me puede
Pero hay algo, algo en ti que duele
Deborah De Corral's song "Algo" is an introspective and emotional piece that explores the dichotomy of conflicting feelings towards a person. The opening lines, "Algo, algo de ti me gusta / Pero, algo, algo de ti me asusta" set the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The singer is torn between the attraction she feels towards this person and the fear that this attraction brings. She is unsure about what this person represents to her, and the ambiguity of the situation leaves her feeling uncertain and confused.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, with the singer expressing her indecision and confusion, "Pensar en huir o dejarme atrapar / Dudo, y cuando dudo pierdo / Ya ni a mí me entiendo / Abrirme a sentir o encerrarme a temblar / Sé que igual, de cualquier modo / No puedo tenerlo todo". The internal struggle is palpable, and the choice between risking being hurt or retreating into a shell is presented as equally difficult.
The emotional depth of the lyrics is offset by the melody, which is upbeat, with a catchy rhythm and melody that makes it easy to sing along to. This combination of introspection and catchy melody is what makes "Algo" a standout song and has endeared it to fans of Latin American pop.
