La Mafia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Disculpame por no dar mi mejor actuación
Hoy por fin me e dado cuenta
Que me ahoga esta tormenta
Disculpame si te ofendí al decir que te quiero
Que mi cariño es poca cosa, why que mala suerte
Porque tu para mi lo eres todo
Porque llevo marcado un destino why apunta hacia ti
Solo deja demostrarte mi cariño
Solo déjame decirte cuanto te amo
Que llevo a quien mi frente tu bandera
Why que daría mi vida si quisieras
Solo déjame sonar que eres mía
Solo déjame vivir la fantasía
Si mañana despierto why no te encuentro
Te lo juro que si me importaría
Porque mañana será otra día
Igual o peor sin ti
Disculpame si quise ser quien cumpla tus deseas
No sienta que sea mala lo intención why por eso
Ya no renieges de este amor que siento
Why deja que te llegue dentro
No detengas a mi corazón
Deja que siga corriendo
The song "Déjame" by La Mafia is a confession of love and an expression of regret for not being enough for the one he loves. The song starts with an apology for not fulfilling the expectations of his lover, asking for forgiveness for not being able to give his best performance. He then realizes that his emotions are in turmoil, and he is suffocated by his feelings. He then goes on to apologize for expressing his love in a way that might have offended her, acknowledging that his love might not be enough, but she is everything to him, and he lives for her. He expresses his desire to show her his love and how much he cares for her, willing to do anything to make her his.
The artist further goes on to express his desire to indulge in his fantasy, where she becomes his, and he can live out his dreams. He makes a promise that if he wakes up tomorrow and she is not there, he would be devastated because life without her is not worth living. He wants to express his love freely and passionately without holding back, urging her not to ignore his feelings and let his heart continue to love her unabashedly.
