DESPACITO
Germain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Muy despacito
Se fue metiendo
En mi corazón
Con mentiras y cariñitos
La fui queriendo con mucho amor
Creció la llama de mi pasión
Y sabiendo que no era buena
Le di mi vida sin condición
Y hoy que quiero dejarla de amar
No responde las fuerzas de mi alma
Ya no se donde voy acabar
Porque yo ya no puedo olvidarla
Despacito muy despacito
Y hoy que quiero dejarla de amar
No responde las fuerzas de mi alma
Ya no se donde voy acabar
Porque yo ya no puedo olvidarla
Despacito muy despacito
Me dijo cosas que nunca oí
Me enseñaron que tantas veces
Con otros labios no comprendí
Pero todo, todo se acaba
La dicha grande también se va
Y nos dejan no mas recuerdos
Recuerdos de ella que no vendrán
In Germain's song "Despacito", the singer is describing a relationship he had with a woman who slowly but surely found her way into his heart. With "lies and little bits of love", he grew to love her deeply despite knowing that she wasn't good for him. The passion between the two grew and he gave her his everything without any conditions. However, now that he wants to stop loving her, he can't seem to find the strength to do so. He feels lost and unsure of where he's headed because he can't forget her. The song continues with the singer reflecting on the things she taught him and how much he learned about love with her. But in the end, happiness fades away and all that's left are memories that will never return.
The lyrics in "Despacito" appear to be describing a sort of toxic relationship that the singer was involved in with a woman who he knew wasn't good for him. However, despite this, he still loved her unconditionally and gave her everything he had. The repetition of the words "despacito" emphasizes how slowly the relationship grew and how deep their connection was. The singer’s struggle to let go of someone who clearly wasn't good for him is a relatable experience and can be understood by many. The chorus repeats the same lines, which reinforces the idea that the singer can't seem to shake off his feelings for this woman.
