Deja De Bailar
Alaska Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Deja de bailar. No te muevas
Deja de bailar. No se lleva
Deja de bailar. Ten cuidado
Deja de bailar. Es tan cansado.
Deja de bailar. No te muevas
Deja de bailar. No se lleva
Deja de bailar. Ten cuidado
Deja de bailar.

Hace tiempo que lo dejé
No me gusta saltar
No me gusta bailar
¿por qué?

Tengo que dejar de beber
No me gusta el alcohol
No me gusta beber
¿por qué?

Nada más que hacer
Nada que contar.

Ya no salgo jamás
Ya no hay vida social
Ya no hay nada que me atraiga

Nada que argumentar
Oh no.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Alaska's song Deja De Bailar (Stop Dancing) convey a message of exhaustion and caution towards the glamorous lifestyle and social expectations of constantly partying and dancing. The repetition of the phrases "deja de bailar" (stop dancing) and "no te muevas" (don't move) emphasizes the urgency of the message to slow down and take care of oneself. The lyrics suggest that this lifestyle is not sustainable and that it is necessary to step back from it in order to take care of oneself. The lines "ya no hay vida social" (there is no social life anymore) and "nada que me atraiga" (nothing attracts me anymore) convey a sense of disillusionment with the party lifestyle and a desire for something more meaningful.

The lyrics also touch on themes of substance abuse, with lines such as "tengo que dejar de beber" (I have to stop drinking) and "no me gusta el alcohol" (I don't like alcohol). This suggests that the party lifestyle is often associated with excessive drinking and substance use, which can have negative effects on one's physical and mental well-being. The overall tone of the song is one of caution and self-care, encouraging listeners to prioritize their health and well-being over societal expectations.
