No Vale Dormir
Antonio Orozco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y se lleve todo lo que nos sobra
Deja que las raíces
Beban el agua que necesiten
Deja que los colores
Vuelvan a serlo todo
Y deja que aquella magia
Nos resucite
Cuéntame con detalle
Para contárselo a la esperanza
Cuéntame como sabes
Que viene ruido y no la calma
Deja que los rencores
Salgan por donde entraron
Y deja que no haya nadie
Que lo marchité
Cuando amanezca tormenta, no vale dormir
Cuando los versos no bailen, no vale dormir
Cuando los premios no sean perfectos
Cuando la vida no entienda de besos
Cógeme fuerte la mano y si duele pa' mí
Donde las manos no mandan, no vale pedir
Donde la rima no entienda, no vale pedir
Cuando la espera no sea sincera
Cuando la pena se quede a tu vera
Cógeme fuerte la mano y su duele pa' mí
Piensa poquito a poco
Lo que pretende la cobardía
Vuelve por donde huías
Y dos sonrisas por cada huella
Tira de los cordones
Que abren esa ventana
Coge nuestro principio
Y me lo regalas
Cuando amanezca tormenta, no vale dormir
Cuando los versos no bailen, no vale dormir
Cuando los premios no sean perfectos
Cuando la vida no entienda de besos
Cógeme fuerte la mano y si duele pa' mí
Donde las manos no mandan, no vale pedir
Donde la rima no entienda, no vale pedir
Cuando la espera no sea sincera
Cuando la pena se quede a tu vera
Cógeme fuerte la mano y su duele pa' mí
Dámelo, dámelo pa' mí
Dámelo

The lyrics describe the idea of going back to basics and appreciating the simplicity of life. Additionally, the song talks about the importance of letting go of grudges and not letting them fester, bringing them out in the open, and letting others know the truth.
In the chorus, he talks about the difficult moments in life when it's not worth sleeping, like when there is a storm, and life feels chaotic. The lyrics highlight the importance of holding onto each other tightly during these times, even if it hurts. Furthermore, Orozco talks about the importance of coming back and facing one's fears, of not being a coward, and of being brave enough to ask for what you need.
