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

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

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

Overall Meaning

Lady Gaga's song "Alejandro" is a song about a woman who wants to break up with her boyfriend named Alejandro. She states that she truly loves him, but she cannot be with him like this any longer. The song begins by acknowledging that they are both young, but there is something that is pushing her away, making it impossible for her to stay in the relationship. The singer is struggling with a lot of internal conflict and confusion, possibly wanting to preserve their relationship, but also wanting to leave. She is hesitant to look at her partner and keeps her hands in her pockets, hiding her true emotions.


In the chorus, the singer repeats that she is not Alejandro's babe or Fernando's babe, she is not interested in any physical contact, but just wants to smoke her cigarette and be quiet. However, throughout the song, she repeatedly threatens to leave, saying "just let me go." The underlying message of the song is about female empowerment and the decision to walk away from a situation that is no longer serving one's needs.

@FirstLastOne

What are you, under 20?

Madonna did ALL OF THIS IN THE 80's and 90's.

Like A Prayer 1989
Erotica 1992

And was banned from acting out the masturbation scenes during a concert in a couple of cities with the threat of being arrested if she did.

Lady Gaga did push the envelope in her own way and style for the time and this was one of her best videos and tracks.

Everybody a decade ago: That's gay, that's satanic!


Everybody, now: That's art, don't touch it.

You're wrong idiot, it's the opposite

@TH-ui9xh

@Khymaira Spoon Agreed. A lot of symbolism. Don't care about the gay aspect, just the satanic symbolism is clear.
