Tengo Que Olvidarte
Manuel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hace tanto calor aquí
Pero no puedo parar
Para tomar la sombra
Tengo que llegar a tiempo

Si tú no estás aquí
Se detiene el tiempo
No quiero dejarte ir
Tengo que llegar a tiempo, oh oh oh oh oh
Tengo que llegar a tiempo, oh oh oh oh oh

No sé cómo describir
Esto que siento
No quiero dejar de oír tu voz
Tengo que llegar a tiempo

Quisiera que estuvieras aquí
Conmigo
No quiero dejarte ir

Tengo que llegar a tiempo, oh oh oh oh oh
Tengo que llegar a tiempo, oh oh oh oh oh

Tengo que llegar a tiempo, oh oh oh oh oh
Tengo que llegar a tiempo, oh oh oh oh oh




Tengo que llegar a tiempo, oh oh oh oh oh
Tengo que llegar a tiempo, oh oh oh oh oh

The fourth stanza adds to this by adding a wish for the loved one to be there with them. The final repetition of the chorus highlights that the urgency to arrive on time is motivated by the fear of losing the loved one.
