Me prometo a mi mismo
Manolo Otero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
nunca jamas volver a hacerte algun reproche
y no buscar el cuerpo tuyo por la noche.
Y no es por ti sino por respeto a mi.
Me prometo a mi mismo
cuando me duerma nunca mas vuelvo a soñarte
y acabaré con mis deseos de besarte
y no es por ti
Se que mis deseos por tenerte
buscan mis motivos para hablar
pero si mis brazos no te pueden alcanzar
dime para que te voy a amar.
Me prometo a mi mismo
cuando me duerma nunca mas vuelvo a soñarte
y acabaré con mis deseos de besarte
y no es por ti, y no es por mi
In Manolo Otero's song Me Prometo a Mi Mismo, he makes a promise to himself to never reproach or blame his lover again, and to no longer seek her body at night. He clarifies that this promise is not because of her, but rather out of respect for himself. Manolo further vows to never dream of her again and to get rid of his desire to kiss her, once more out of respect for himself. He knows that his desires to be with her are clouding his judgement and decision-making abilities. He questions the point of loving her if he cannot have her, ultimately deciding to move on with his life and maintain his dignity.
These lyrics exude a sense of emotional intelligence and self-respect. Manolo recognizes that his emotions and desires are not conducive to his well-being and that choosing himself over his fleeting desires is the best option. He chooses to prioritize his emotional and mental health over a temporary physical pleasure. Additionally, the song advocates for self-love and respect in relationships, highlighting that it is equally important to love oneself as it is to love someone else. This sense of self-awareness and emotional maturity makes the song particularly insightful.
