Dicen
Juan Fernando Velasco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dicen que el tiempo es el mejor remedio para olvidar,
Dicen que no hay mal que dure cien años y no es verdad
Dicen que del odio al amor solamente un paso hay,
Y aunque lo intento mil veces no puedo dejarte de amar
(No puedo dejarte de amar)

Dicen que la distancia es el olvido y a mi me da igual,
Porque por mas que me alejo en mi mente te escondes y estas
(Enloqueciendome)
Dicen y dicen frases sin sentido y estan tan mal,
Porque no saben, porque no han sentido el dolor de amar

[Chorus:]
Cuando no se puede olvidar...
Y los dias, se hacen grises, como las noches
Y aquel sueño, nunca llega. no se cuando volverás...

Y aunque todo lo que dice la gente suena verdad,
No hay mas verdad que la soledad que siento cuando no estas
(Te necesito)...
Porque sin ti nada tiene sentido, y a ti te da igual,
Porque no sabes, tu nunca has sentido el dolor de amar.

[Chorus]

Cuando no se puede olvidar...

Dicen que la distancia es el olvido
Y que por mas que me alejo en mi mente te escondes y estas...
Y a lo que todo lo que dice la gente, lo que dice la gente
Porque no sabes, tu nunca has sentido el dolor de amar.




Oyeme, dime cuando, cuando, cuando.
Y los dias se hacen grises... cuando volveras...

Overall Meaning

The song "Dicen" by Juan Fernando Velasco talks about the pain of loving someone who is not present with you. The verses start with phrases that people usually say to comfort someone who is heartbroken, like "time is the best remedy to forget" or "there's no bad thing that lasts 100 years." However, the singer of the song refutes these popular beliefs, and admits that he has tried to forget about the person he loves countless times but can't. The use of repetition, as he says twice "no puedo dejarte de amar" (I can't stop loving you) reinforces the idea of how strong his feelings are.


The chorus speaks about the sadness and the grey days that come with not being able to forget someone. He talks about how everything loses meaning without this person and how he needs them back. The line "no se cuando volverás" (I don't know when you'll come back) shows how uncertain he is about the future of their relationship. The song ends with the same concept it starts with, people saying things without understanding the depth of the pain of love. He concludes that the person he loves has never felt "el dolor de amar" (the pain of love), unlike him.


Overall, "Dicen" is a relatable song about the difficulties of letting go of someone you love. It portrays the frustration of hearing people give useless advice and the hopelessness of not being able to move on. The song's melody is a fusion of pop and Latin music, with soft guitar chords that complement the lyrics' romantic tone.
