COME ON NOW
El Presidente Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
waiting on a cold night made for you.
It's after midnight, hope you're alright,
open up your curtains let me know.
When I see you cryin' I feel almost dying hanging on for you girl
let me know where I am.
Take a picture of you and I'll keep it by my side.
Come on now place your trust in me.
Come on now let your soul be free.
Don't worry, don't worry here's what I believe
There's no need for violence no protection let me keep you safe away from them.
I need to feel ya, need to be near ya,
I'll always be a part of you somehow.
When I see you cryin' I feel almost dying hanging on for you girl
let me know where I am
Take a picture of you and I'll keep it by my side
Come on now put your love in me.
Come on now place your trust in me.
Come on now let your soul be free.
Don't worry, don't worry here's what I believe
Come on now put your love in me.
Come on now place your trust in me.
Come on now let your soul be free.
Don't worry, don't worry here's what I believe
The lyrics of "Come On Now" by El Presidente seem to be about the singer's desperate longing for connection with someone he cares for deeply. He starts with an admission that he can't even feel his finger, perhaps suggesting that his whole body lacks sensation without this person. He waits outside on a cold night, hoping she's okay, and wants her to open the curtains so he can be close to her. Seeing her cry makes him feel like he's dying, as he clings to her for comfort and a sense of identity.
The chorus repeats three times, encouraging this person to put their trust, love, and soul into the singer. He promises to keep her safe and always be a part of her, suggesting that she is the key to his emotional stability. The last verse repeats much like the first, with the singer's desperate need for closeness and a picture of her to keep with him. The song ends by reiterating that the singer believes there's no need for violence or protection - he just wants to be with this person he loves.

That’s Jacobo Morales, who eventually directed the only Puerto Rican movie ever nominated for an Oscar. Lives up the street from me. Still active at 86 y.o.

Say hello to him from us! 🙂
@angelthman1659
For those who don't know, the film was made in Puerto Rico. So the actors are well-known there.
