Dejate Querer
Iratxo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
que hace colgar fuera,donde el aire da vueltas,
hasta empalagar
Hay paladar de niño de barrio,de boca sucia y lengua suelta,
Hay pared teñida de barro,del invierno de agua seca,
Hay pies en techos de mimbre,en los platos de espuertas de nada,
Hay lleno donde el vacío descansa,tu mírate la cara
Mira y no se cae el muy cabrón,
la cicatriz de un malabar, sincero de cuerda rota,
a ver quien coño te mando tallar verdades,
de los gemidos de este sol decapitao,
y recular pal frente es mas difícil sin pies,
siguen meando en el empedrao,
eslomao pa arremeter por un vomito de flores,
acordar acurrucar siempre la misma mano,
quemar la cuna de antaño,
tirar palante pase lo que pase,
que lo peor, que lo peor
el ansia de querer abortar los lametazos
Déjate, déjate, déjate querer…BIS
Hay sudor,
de quemar los ojos,
que denota el reventar,
el trabajar las canas,
el despertar
Hay rendija pa ver el cabreo mejor,
el de las heridas curadas a sal
Hay tiras de piel en almohadas,
donde no duerme ni dios,
Hay alas no pa volar son pa reír,
no huir sino quemar futuro,
Hay hogueras por descuido,
colgao no olvides el calor
The song "Dejate querer" by Iratxo talks about the hardships of life and the scars that come with it. The opening lines talk about how there is a tiny bit of something in the eyes that hangs outside and becomes cloying when the air rotates. This could refer to tears or debris that cause discomfort to the person. The next few lines talk about the person's mouth and tongue, indicating that they are from a rough neighborhood with a foul-mouthed and loose-tongued attitude. The line "Hay pared teñida de barro, del invierno de agua seca" might refer to the walls being dirty and stained, possibly due to a lack of water.
The song goes on to talk about various other things like people walking on wicker roofs and dishes made of nothing. The chorus, "Déjate querer," means "Let yourself be loved" and is repeated several times, emphasizing the importance of accepting love amidst these difficult circumstances. The song ends with the lines, "Hay hogueras por descuido, colgao no olvides el calor" which translates to "There are fires due to carelessness, hung up, do not forget the heat," possibly referring to people's carelessness causing problems, and reminding them to stay hopeful and warm amidst these problems.

Look and the bastard doesn't fall, the scar of an honest brokenhearted acrobat, let's see who the hell sent you to carve truths from the moans of this beheaded sun, retreating forwards is more difficult without feet, they keep peeing on the cobblestones, exhausted to attack from a vomit of flowers, agreeing to always curl up with the same hand, burning the crib of yesterday, moving forward no matter what, because the worst, the worst desire is to abort the licks.
