No Me Dejes Morir
Miguel & Berny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No haya nadie aquí
Y el calor de la ciudad
Me castigue sin piedad
Tendré que sonreir
A tu sombra implacable
A mi desolación
Aunque se haga polvo el mundo
Tu secreto es mi canción
Oh nena no me dejes
No me dejes caer por favor
No me dejes solo en el río
Como un enmascarado
Mil noches sin dormir
Cierro puertas y ventanas
Para que el sol de la mañana
No me descubra así (oh oh)
Con las manos atadas
Como perros de ciudad
Con la tele andando a mil
Sin fuerzas de seguir
Amando un souvenir
Oh nena no me dejes
No me dejes caer por favor
No me dejes solo en el río
No me dejes
No me dejes caer por favor
No me dejes tan solo en el río
Oh nena no me dejes
No me dejes caer por favor
No me dejes solo en el río
The lyrics of Miguel & Berny's song No Me Dejes Morir paint a picture of despair, isolation, and the desperate need for someone's comfort and support. The song starts with the singer narrating how they find themselves alone when the night comes, with the city's heat punishing them mercilessly. At this point, they turn to someone whose shadow is unforgiving and their own desolation to draw some solace. Despite the world crumbling around them, the secret that this someone holds is their only ray of hope, as they find solace in it.
As the song progresses, the singer compares themselves to a masked man who can't sleep for a thousand nights. They are so emotionally broken that they shut all doors and windows, not wanting the morning sun to find them in such a vulnerable state. They feel tied up like dogs in the city, with the TV blaring out as their only source of sound, and with no strength left to carry on besides the memories of someone they love. The chorus then comes in, with the singer imploring this person not to leave them to their fate, not to let them fall, and not to leave them alone in the river.
Overall, the song No Me Dejes Morir by Miguel & Berny is powerful in its portrayal of separation anxiety and isolation. The lyrics highlight the immense impact that one person's presence can have on another's life and how losing that connection can cause an avalanche of self-doubt and despair.
