Algo Contigo
Los Panchos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que me muero por tener algo contigo
Es que no te has dado cuenta
De lo mucho que me cuesta ser tu amigo
Ya no puedo acercarme a tu boca
Sin deseártela de una manera loca.
Necesito controlar tu vida
Quién te abriga
Hace falta que te diga
Que me muero por tener algo contigo
Es que no te has dado cuenta
De lo mucho que me cuesta ser tu amigo
Ya no puedo continuar espiando
Tus llegadas día y noche adivinando,
Ya no sé con qué inocente excusa
Pasar por tu casa
Ya me quedan muy pocos caminos
Y aunque pueda parecerte un desatino
No quisiera yo morirme sin tener algo contigo
Ya me quedan muy pocos caminos
Y aunque pueda parecerte un desatino
No quisiera yo morirme sin tener algo contigo...
Algo contigo...
Algo contigo...
The lyrics of Los Panchos's song Algo Contigo speak of someone who is deeply in love with another person, but is stuck in the friend zone. The singer feels the need to express their desire for something more with the other person, but is hesitant because they fear losing their friendship. The opening lines, "Hace falta que te diga, Que me muero por tener algo contigo" translate to "It's necessary that I tell you, That I'm dying to have something with you".
The refrain "Es que no te has dado cuenta, De lo mucho que me cuesta ser tu amigo" translates to "It's just that you haven't realized, How much it takes for me to be your friend". The singer is struggling to suppress their romantic feelings and continue to maintain a platonic friendship. The lines "Ya no puedo acercarme a tu boca, Sin deseártela de una manera loca" translate to "I can no longer approach your mouth, Without wanting it in a crazy way". This communicates the intense physical attraction the singer feels for the other person.
The verses continue to describe the singer's inner battle between friendship and desire. The lines "Necesito controlar tu vida, Saber quién te besa, Quién te abriga" translate to "I need to control your life, To know who kisses you, Who warms you up". This shows the singer's possessiveness and the depth of their desire for the other person. The song ends with the lines "Ya me quedan muy pocos caminos, Y aunque pueda parecerte un desatino, No quisiera yo morirme sin tener algo contigo" meaning "I have very few roads to take now, And although it may seem like madness, I don't want to die without having something with you". The singer admits that they would rather take a chance and potentially risk their friendship than to never pursue their love at all.
