Adicto
Enrique Iglesias Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Te quisiera decir
Lo que siento en mi
Si tú no estás
Ya no sé respirar
Ya no puedo escapar
De mi adicción, oh no

Y imagino en solo instante

Sin tenerte y sé que es mejor morir

Soy como un adicto
Que no tiene control
Estoy cayendo una mil veces
Vivo en un abismo entre el cielo y el dolor
Rogando que tu amor me libere

Ya no puedo salir
Me olvidé de reír
Me olvidé de Dios
Las ventanas ya no están
Solo tengo la mitad
De mi corazón

Mi vida ya no importa
Tan solo lucho por tu amor

Soy como un adicto
Que no tiene control
Estoy cayendo una mil veces
Vivo en un abismo entre el cielo y el dolor
Rogando que tu amor me libere

Cada vez estás en mi
Todo vuelve a ser feliz
Y tan mágico
Pero en esta realidad
Da lo mismo despertar
Que morir de amor
Que morir mi amor

Morir mi amor
Morir mi amor

Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na

Soy como un adicto
Soy como un adicto y no quieres
Soy como un adicto
Ay no quiero, no quiero, no quiero

Soy como un adicto
No puedo respirar
Vivo en un abismo entre el cielo y el dolor
Rogando que tu amor me libere, libere, libere

Soy como un adicto

Soy como un adicto
Ya soy como un adicto

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Enrique Iglesias's song "Adicto" ("Addicted" in English) tell the story of a person who is hopelessly and helplessly in love with someone. "Te quisiera decir lo que siento en mi" ("I want to tell you what I feel inside") begins the song, setting the tone for the overpowering emotions that follow. The singer goes on to lament the absence of the object of their affection, saying "Si tú no estás, ya no sé respirar" ("If you aren't here, I don't know how to breathe"). They also describe their love as an addiction, saying "Soy como un adicto que no tiene control" ("I am like an addict who has no control"). Despite this, they continue to hope and pray for the release of their love's grip on them, saying "Rogando que tu amor me libere" ("Begging for your love to set me free").

The lyrics of "Adicto" paint a picture of obsessive and all-consuming love that has taken over the singer's life. They describe a feeling of losing oneself in this love, forgetting about everything else in life including happiness and even God. The chorus repeats the metaphor of addiction and lack of control, emphasizing the powerlessness of the singer in the face of their love. The final lines, "Na na na na na na," seem to represent a sense of being lost in this love, as though there are no words left to express the overwhelming feelings that have taken over.
