Dormir Contigo
Dimension Latina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y no estas a mi lado
Vivo deseperado
Esperando tu amor
Cae el sol
Y la noche traidora
Estaras en otros brazos
No en los mios
Y yo pasando solo tanto
Frio
Estaras formando lazos
No comnigo
Y yo anhelando
Dormir contigo
Sale el sol
Mis ojeras hinchadas
Noche desorbitada
Por culpa de tu amor
Cae el sol
Y es la misma tragedia
Y tu no la remedias
Porque estaras en otros brazos
No en los mios
Y yo pasando
Pasando pasando
Tanto frio
Estaras formando lazos
No comnigo
Y yo anhelando
Dormir contigo
(Dormir contigo)
Contigo contigo nama contigo
Estaras formando lazos no comnigo
Contigo yo quiero formar un abrigo
Contigo nama contigo
Oye vamo a hacer una arepita con harina e ' trigo
The song Dormir Contigo by Dimension Latina is a poignant portrayal of the feelings of a lover who is separated from their significant other. The song starts with the line "Sale el sol y no estás a mi lado" which translates to "The sun rises, and you're not by my side." The persona expresses their deep sense of despair and longing for the love of their life. They are stuck waiting for their lover's return, which leads them to an agonizing state of mind. As the sun sets, the lover becomes increasingly anxious and melancholic, believing that their partner is in the arms of someone else.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea of the persona being alone and cold, while their lover is forming bonds with someone else. Despite their agony, the persona continues to yearn for their partner's warmth and intimate moments of sleeping together, as the title of the song suggests.
The lyrics also express a sense of resignation and acceptance, even as the person wishes for their lover's return. The song ends with a light-hearted verse, where the persona asks their lover to make an arepa with wheat flour, which is a common Venezuelan delicacy.
