Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 lyrics of Manuel's song "Tengo Que Olvidarte" express the urgency and desperation felt by the singer to reach a certain destination, despite the scorching heat. The reason for this urgency is revealed in the second stanza, where it becomes clear that the singer's loved one is absent and their presence seems to stop time. The repetition of the line "Tengo que llegar a tiempo" (I have to arrive on time) emphasizes the importance of this event and the fear of losing the loved one if they do not show up.
The third stanza delves deeper into the singer's emotions, as they express their inability to describe what they are feeling and their desire to hear the loved one's voice. 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.
The song's overall theme is of love, loss, and the fear of losing someone important. The lyrics' urgency and repetition reflect the desperation and anxiety felt by the singer. Through the use of vivid imagery and heartfelt emotions, the song conveys the singer's fear of the consequences of being late and the realization that their loved one is essential to their life's happiness.
