Alejandro
Lady GaGaက Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know that we are young,
And I know that you may love me,
But I just can't be with you like this anymore,
Alejandro

She's got both hands
In her pocket
And she won't look at you
Won't look at you
She hides true love
En su bolsillo
She got a halo around her finger
Around you

You know that I love you boy
Hot like Mexico, rejoice
At this point I gotta choose
Nothing to lose

Don't call my name
Don't call my name, Alejandro
I'm not your babe
I'm not your babe, Fernando

Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch
Just smoke my cigarette and hush
Don't call my name
Don't call my name, Roberto

Alejandro

Stop, please,
Just let me go Alejandro,
Just let me go

She's not broken
She's just a baby
But her boyfriend's like a dad, just like a dad
And all those flames that burned before him
Now he's gonna fire fight, gotta cool the bad

You know that I love you boy
Hot like Mexico, rejoice
At this point I've gotta choose
Nothing to lose

Don't call my name
Don't call my name, Alejandro
I'm not your babe
I'm not your babe, Fernando

Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch
Just smoke my cigarette and hush
Don't call my name
Don't call my name, Roberto

I'm not your babe,
I'm not your babe, Alejandro
Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch,
Fernando

Don't call my name,
Don't call my name, Alejandro
I'm not your babe,
I'm not your babe, Fernando
Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch
Just smoke my cigarette and hush
Don't call my name,
Don't call my name,

Alejandro

Overall Meaning

Lady Gaga's "Alejandro" is a song about a young woman who is in love with a boy named Alejandro, but has come to the realization that she can no longer be with him. The song expresses her desire to break free from the relationship and move on with her life. Through the use of Spanish names and phrases, the song creates a sense of passion and intensity, while also referencing the cultural influences that have shaped Lady Gaga's own identity.


The lyrics convey a sense of frustration and anger, as the woman resists the boy's efforts to hold onto their relationship. She repeatedly tells him not to call her name, and refuses to be his "babe" or love interest. The song's chorus - "Alejandro, Alejandro / Ale-ale-jandro, Ale-ale-jandro" - is a simple yet catchy refrain that emphasizes the importance of the boy's name and identity.


The music video for "Alejandro" was filmed in Madrid, Spain, and features Lady Gaga in a variety of provocative outfits and dance routines. The video also includes religious imagery, including a group of male dancers wearing red latex nun's habits. The video generated controversy for its explicit content and use of religious symbolism, but Lady Gaga defended it as a statement on her own religious beliefs and experiences.
