Otro Dia Mas Sin Verte
Jon Secada Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuando no estás me siento diferente
Cuando estás en mis brazos
Quiero amarrarte a mí
Y no entiendo
Cómo puedes estar, estar sin mí
Yo quiero estar contigo
No sé por qué, dime por qué
Ya, ya no puedo más
Ya me es imposible soportar
Otro día más sin verte
Ven, dame una razón
Si es algo que no tiene solución
Es otro día más sin verte
Es otro día más
Nada que hacer
Palabras tal vez que puedan detenerte
¿Qué tengo que decirte
Para qué no te vayas?
No te separes más de mí
No
Hazme el favor y dime
Dime qué puedo hacer, mi amor
No, no, no
Te tengo y no tengo nada
Estoy tan cansado de estar separados
Ya, ya no puedo más
Ya me es imposible soportar
Otro día más sin verte
Ven, dame una razón
Si es algo que no tiene solución
Es otro día más sin verte
No
No
Quiero estar contigo
No sé por qué, dime por qué
Ya, ya no puedo más
Ya me es imposible soportar
Otro día más sin verte
Otro día más sin verte
Ven, dame una razón
Dame una razón
Si es algo que no tiene solución, no
Es otro día más sin verte
No
Ya, ya no puedo más
No puedo más
Ya me es imposible soportar
Otro día más sin verte
No oh oh
Ven, dame una razón
Si es algo que no tiene solución, no
The song "Otro Día Más Sin Verte" by Jon Secada is a heart-wrenching ballad about the pain of being separated from a loved one. The lyrics express the thoughts and feelings of someone who is deeply in love with their partner, but is unable to be with them. The opening lines, "Solo al pensar, cuando no estás me siento diferente" (Just thinking about you, when you're not here, I feel different), set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is consumed by their love for their partner and is unable to function properly without them.
The chorus, "Ya, ya no puedo más, ya me es imposible soportar. Otro día más sin verte. Ven, dame una razón" (I can't take it anymore, another day without seeing you. Give me a reason), highlights the desperation that the singer feels. They are reaching out to their partner, begging for some kind of explanation, some way to make the pain go away. The song ends with the repeated refrain of "Otro día más sin verte" (Another day without seeing you), driving home the sense of hopelessness and despair.
Overall, "Otro Día Más Sin Verte" is a powerful song that captures the raw emotion of longing and heartbreak. The lyrics are simple yet profound, and Jon Secada's delivery is both heartfelt and soulful.
