Dime Que Sí
Los De Adentro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que el tiempo borró tu rastro
Del cielo la tierra y el pasto
No encuentro algo que me lleve a ti
Por eso tengo que decirte
Dime que sí que a mi lado fuiste feliz
Que descubriste que el amor no es así
Dime que sí que a mi lado fuiste feliz
A pesar de todo fue así
Paso a paso recorro
Lo que en un tiempo fue el sendero
El camino haber si me juega el destino
Y te pone en mi camino
Recuerdos que se desvanecen
Al parecer deslizando mis palabras en tu piel
Dime que sí que a mi lado fuiste feliz
Que descubriste que el amor no es así
Dime que sí que a mi lado fuiste feliz
A pesar de todo
Fue así
Y miro al cielo y lo sé
Que jamás te volveré a ver
Dime que sí que a mi lado fuiste feliz
Que descubriste que el amor no es así
Dime que si que a mi lado fuiste feliz
A pesar de todo fue así
In "Dime Que Sí," Los De Adentro sings about a love that has passed, but the singer still longs for. The opening lines describe how distance and time have erased the beloved's presence - "Nos alejamos tanto/ Que el tiempo borró tu rastro" ("We've distanced ourselves so much/ That time has erased your trace"). Despite this, the singer can't help but continue searching for a way back to the one they love, as they sing, "No encuentro algo que me lleve a ti" ("I can't find anything that leads me back to you").
There is a melancholic tone that runs throughout the song, as the singer reflects on what they had with their past love, and seems to reminisce on the happy moments they shared together - "Dime que sí que a mi lado fuiste feliz/ Que descubriste que el amor no es así" ("Tell me yes, that you were happy by my side/ That you discovered that love is not like this"). They are stuck in the past trying to find a way to reconnect, as they hope their former love still has fond feelings for them. "Dime que sí que a mi lado fuiste feliz" ("Tell me yes that you were happy by my side") is repeated multiple times in the chorus of the song, emphasizing the importance of the singer's desire to know that their past partner was content with them.
The final stanza of the song takes an even more somber turn, as the singer acknowledges that they will never have the chance to see their former love again. Despite this, they still hold on to the hope that they were happy during their time together, as they repeat, "Dime que sí que a mi lado fuiste feliz" ("Tell me yes, that you were happy by my side").
Overall, "Dime Que Sí" is a poignant ballad about longing for a past love and yearning for a connection that may no longer be possible.
