Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y mirame a mi
Que no es la botella
Enrola tu wi
Que
Tu no estas sola como yo me senti
Si me quieres te quiero
Si no vete de aqui
Entiendeme
Y mirame a mi
Que no es la botella
Enrola tu wi
Que
Tu no estas sola como yo me senti
Si me quieres te quiero
Si no vete de aqui
Ah
Yo lo que quiero
Que la jeva mia no sea un cuero
Y que mi cuenta nunca toque cero
Mi corazon vaja meno cero
Pero hago creer que yo soy de acero
A cada me meten un suero
Huh
A cada rato me ajuchan un cuero
Huh
A cada rato digo que no
Porque prometi lealtad y sin eso yo me muero
Tu entiendes lo que estoy diciendo?
Huh?
Tu no entiendes lo que estoy sintiendo
Huh
Aveces me siento tan debil que me tumba el viento
Pero por Dios aguanto todo el sufrimiento
Huh
Yo te amo hay que decirlo lento
Huh
Yo te amo hay que decirlo lento?
Yo no aguanto tanto sufrimiento
Nunca quieres entender
Pero yo entiendo
Ahora
Entiendeme
Y mirame a mi
Que no es la botella
Enrola tu wi
Que
Tu no estas sola como yo me senti
Si me quieres te quiero
Si no vete de aqui
Ah
Yo te ofreci el mundo
A cambio
Tu me diste lodo
Nama pedi lealtad
A cambio
Yo te lo iva a dar todo
Pero ya yo entiendo
Mm
Y ya yo entendi
Algo de mi
Ya no soy el perro que algun dia yo fui
No te lo hice yo a ti
Asi es que tu tienes que vivir
Piensa que piensa que piensa que piensa que piensa
Que pienses en mi
Que yo a te lo ofreci
Yo a ti te lo ofreci
Ahora te toca entender entender entender
Entender a a ti
Entiendeme
Y mirame a mi
Que no es la botella
Enrola tu wi
Que
Tu no estas sola como yo me senti
Si me quieres te quiero
Si no vete de aqui
Ah
Entiendeme
Y mirame a mi
Que no es la botella
Enrola tu wi
Que
Tu no estas sola como yo me senti
Si me quieres te quiero
Si no vete de aqui
Ah
Entiendeme
Y mirame a mi
Que no es la botella
Enrola tu wi
Que
Tu no estas sola como yo me senti
Si me quieres te quiero
Si no vete de aqui
Ah
The lyrics to "Understand" by Jay & The Miracles convey a deep sense of longing for understanding and connection in a relationship. The repetition of the phrase "Entiendeme y mirame a mi" ("Understand me and look at me") emphasizes the desire for the other person to truly see and comprehend the emotions being expressed.
The mention of the bottle and rolling the "wi" (presumably referring to marijuana) suggests that the singer is seeking solace and escape from their feelings of loneliness and vulnerability. They compare their own feelings of solitude to the other person's and express the sentiment that if the other person doesn't want them, they should leave.
The second verse delves further into the singer's inner struggles, expressing their desire for a committed and meaningful relationship rather than superficial encounters. They wish for financial stability and emotional resilience, yet acknowledge the challenges they face in maintaining their facade of strength. The mention of being injected with a serum and enduring constant beatings implies that they feel overwhelmed by life's difficulties.
The following lines depict a sense of frustration with the other person's lack of understanding and empathy. The singer longs for their love interest to grasp their emotions and comprehend the depth of their experiences. They question whether the other person truly comprehends what they are saying and feeling.
In the final verse, the singer reiterates their offering of the world to the other person, but in return, they only receive "lodo" (mud) or disappointment. They refer to their request for loyalty and their willingness to give everything in exchange. However, they have now come to an understanding that they are no longer the person they once were, implying growth and self-realization.
The repeated phrase "Entiendeme y mirame a mi" serves as a powerful plea for the other person to truly understand and see them for who they are. The closing lines emphasize that the singer is not alone in their feelings, and if the other person wants them, they are ready to reciprocate love. However, if the other person does not reciprocate, they are urged to leave. Overall, the lyrics of "Understand" express the singer's yearning for understanding, validation, and connection in their relationship.
