Don't Wanna Lose You
Gloria Estefan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes it's hard
To make things clear
Or know when you face the truth
And I know that the moment is here
I'll open my heart
And show you inside
My love has no pride
I feel with you I've got nothing to hide

So open your eyes
And see who I am
And not who you want for me to be
I am only myself, myself

I don't want to lose you now
We're gonna get through somehow
I don't want to loose you now or ever

'Cause baby I've finally found
The courage to stand my ground
But if you want, me I'll be around
Forever

We all make mistakes
We all loose our way
But we stood the test of time and I hope
That's the way it will stay
It's all up to you
To tell me to go
'Cause it won't be me to walk away
When you're all that I know
And I know

That I don't want to lose you now
We're gonna get through somehow
I don't want to loose you now
Or ever, no never
'Cause baby I've finally found
The courage to stand my ground
But if you want me, I'll be around
Forever, forever

I don't want to lose you, don't wanna lose you now
We're gonna get through somehow
I don't want to lose you now




No, I don't want to lose you
Don't want to lose you

Line by Line Meaning

Sometimes it's hard
At times it's tough to convey things


To make things clear
To be forthright


Or know when you face the truth
To be unaware when coming across the facts


And I know that the moment is here
I realize the time has come


I'll open my heart
I will be candid


And show you inside
Help you understand my perspective


My love has no pride
I'm not proud when it comes to my love for you


I feel with you I've got nothing to hide
I can be transparent with you


So open your eyes
Please have a clear view


And see who I am
Understand me as an individual


And not who you want for me to be
Not what you demand me to become


I am only myself, myself
I'm candidly who I am


I don't want to lose you now
I don't want to lose you now


We're gonna get through somehow
Somehow we shall make it through


Or ever
Nor ever


'Cause baby I've finally found
Because at last, I got it


The courage to stand my ground
The audacity to stick to my guns


But if you want, me I'll be around
But if you need me, I'll be here


Forever
For eternity


We all make mistakes
Everyone errs


We all lose our way
Everyone can misplace their bearings


But we stood the test of time and I hope
We've been through the ups and downs, and I'm optimistic


That's the way it will stay
That this is how things will be


It's all up to you
You have the power


To tell me to go
To ask me to leave


'Cause it won't be me to walk away
I'm not the one who will step away


When you're all that I know
Because you've been my everything


And I know
And I understand


No, I don't want to lose you
No, I don't want to lose you

É uma lição de vida para o povo americano. Esta mulher é cubana e ainda criança fugiu com a familia pobre para Miami, nos Estados Unidos, fugindo da revolução Cubana de Fedel Castro, enquanto seu pai, que era militar e lutou contra Fidel, foi incorporado ao Exército amercano. Lutou no Vietna, adoeceu e ficou sob os cuidados da esposa e das filhas, sendo Gloria a mais velha, que deu o duro junto com a mãe para sustentar a familia. Lá, a garota ganhou a cidadania e naturalizou-se estadunidense, fez o ensino básico e cursou Psicologia na Universidade de Miame, tornando-se poliglota, dominando o Inglês, o Espanhol, sua lingua nativa, e o francês.. Por conta disso, quase se torna agente da CIA. Herdou a veia artistica da avó que cantava e tocava violão, assim como a sua mãe. Gloria cantava na Igreja e caiu nos escantos do seu futuro marido, que era música e produtor musical. Ao ouvir a voz e ver o talento da garota para a música, assim que a viu pela prieira vez, convidou-a para sua banda 'Miami Latin Boys', que mais tarde virou 'Miame Sound Machine', depois, 'Miame Sound Machine e Glória Stefan', até que retiraram os demais nomes e ficou somente o de Glória Stefan. Foi daí que a cantora latina se tornou estrela Internacional com suas belas canções e interpretações. A cantora possui três músicas em primeiro lugar na Billboard Hot 100, ganhou três prêmios Grammys e vendeu mais de 90 milhões de discos. Estefan também está na lista dos "100 Maiores Artistas de Todos os Tempos" da Billboard.
