El Reloj
Lupita D'Alessio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Reloj no marques las horas, porque voy a enloquecer
Él se ira para siempre, cuando amanezca otra vez.
No más nos queda esta noche, para vivir nuestro amor
Y tu tic tac me recuerda, mi remediable dolor.

Reloj detén tu camino, porque mi vida se apaga
Él es la estrella que alumbra mi ser, yo sin su amor
No soy nada.

Detén el tiempo en tus manos, has de está noche perpetúa
Para que nunca se vaya de mi, para que nunca amanezca.

Reloj detén tu camino, porque mi vida se apaga
Él es la estrella que alumbra mi ser, yo sin su amor
No soy nada.





Detén el tiempo en tus manos, has de está noche perpetúa
Para que nunca se vaya de mi, para que nunca amanezca.

Overall Meaning

Lupita D'Alessio's El Reloj is a song about the agony of lost love and the desperation to cling on to the last moments with a lover. The lyrics talk about a clock that is ticking away the time, reminding the singer that her lover is leaving her for good once the sun rises. The clock is a metaphor for the fleeting nature of time and life, and how it cannot be stopped or reversed. The singer pleads with the clock to halt its ticking, so that the night can continue on forever, and her lover need not leave.


The first verse sets the scene for the song's emotional tone, as the singer implores the clock not to mark the hours, as she will go insane at the thought of her lover leaving for good. She then acknowledges that there is precious little time left for them to be together, and the ticking of the clock only adds to her pain. In the second verse, the singer begs the clock to stop its passage of time, so that she can hold on to her lover and keep him forever. She describes him as the star that illuminates her existence, and that without his love, she is nothing.


El Reloj is a poignant reminder of the power of love and the devastation it can cause when lost. It is a testament to Lupita D'Alessio's immense talent as a singer and interpreter of emotions. The song remains a timeless classic and continues to resonate with audiences today.
