Te Bote
Alok Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo no sé ni cómo, ni cuándo fue
Pero solo sé que yo recordé
Cómo te lo hacía yo aquella vez
Y yo no puedo seguir solo, pero sé
Que te boté
De mi vida te boté, y te boté
Pa'l carajo usted se fue, y usted se fue
De mi vida te boté, yo te boté, yeh-yeh, mami
De mi vida te boté, y te boté
Te di banda y te solté, yo te solté
Pa'l carajo usted se
De mi vida te boté
Yo sé que no eres cualquiera
Me pasaré la vida entera
Preguntando a dónde fue
Pero tu amiga me textea
Siempre que ella me desea
Se tira una foto conmigo
Y me dice pa' que tú la vea'
Prendo pa' ver si me olvido
De tu nombre, tus besos, tu cuerpo, tus gemidos
Lo hacíamos en el carro, me gritaba al oído
Cierro los ojos y pienso en todo lo que hicimos, baby
Prendo pa' ver si me olvido
De tu nombre, tus besos, tu cuerpo, tus gemidos
Lo hacíamos en el carro, me gritaba al oído
Cierro los ojos y pienso en todo lo que hicimos, baby
De mi vida te boté, y te boté
Te di banda y te solté, yo te solté
Pa'l carajo usted se fue, y usted se fue
De mi vida te boté, yo te boté, yeh-yeh, mami
Pa'l carajo usted se fue, y usted se fue
De mi vida te boté, yo te boté, yeh-yeh, mami
In Alok's song Te Boté, we find a man struggling to move on from a past relationship. The song is marked by the lyrics that showcase the central theme of letting go. The singer spends many nights thinking about the woman he loved and is unsure when he recalls how he used to treat her. Despite his desire to let go and move on, he finds that he can't do it alone. The singer admits to having pushed the person out of his life, but he is still preoccupied with the former lover. He feels that he can't continue without her; nonetheless, he knows she needs to stay out of his life for his emotional well-being, and therefore he had to "botarla."
As the song progresses, the singer cannot contain his anguish and turns to smoking to deal with his feelings. He hopes that by smoking, he will forget her, but it only leads him to revisit the memories. The lyrics beautifully convey the message of a man struggling to get over a break-up and showcases how it can be difficult to let go. With its relatable lyrics and catchy tune, Te Boté seeks to connect with the audience and transport them to the overwhelming feelings of heartbreak and loss.

You'd better take a look at Naturalize's remix. It's terrific! And way better than the original one
Christian
on Don't Ya ft. Bea Jourdan - Original Mix
Tell me why you have to go
It may seem so hard to me
'Cause since you're not around babe
I can barely breathe
Tell me why you had to be
My greatest remedy
Maybe that's the reason why
I can't fall asleep
Damn show your loving hands
I miss your dirty pants
And now I've heard you beg
Are you ready to attack
You will regret, won't ya
You make me sick, won't ya
You let me down, won't ya
Do you love me now, don't ya
