Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down)

Hoy he despertao'
Acariciando la noticia de que tú no volverás
Desorientao', dando vueltas en mi cama
Pensando si me amas, yo, que te he amao'
Como nadie, como loco, amores como el mío pocos hay
Duermo soleao', rochao' porque te has marchao'
Y hoy desperté en la misma casa, en el mismo cuarto
En la misma cama en donde te amé, hey
Y eso me pone down, down

(Down) si no tengo de tu piel
(Down) si no tengo tu calor
(Down) si no tengo tu querer
Si no tengo de tu amor, mami, yo me pongo down

(Down) Girl, I'm dying for your love
(Down) I can't handle anymore
(Down) si no tengo tu querer
Si no tengo de tu amor, girl, that makes me feel so down
So down
That makes me feel so down, yeh

Desorientao', en llanto desperté
Acariciando la noticia de no tenerla a usted
Entiéndame, los hombres también lloran
Y más cuando se va la persona que más adoran

Estoy en baja, down, ya no tengo ni palabra'
Pensando en ti, dando vueltas en la cama
No es fácil vivir la agonía
De pensar en ti noche', mañana', y día'

Estoy muriendo, sufriendo, yo te hago entender
Este amor yo te lo juro quise defender
Pero todo falló en todos los intento'
No aguanto la agonía y este sufrimiento

(Down) si no tengo de tu piel
(Down) si no tengo tu calor
(Down) si no tengo tu querer
Si no tengo de tu amor, mami, yo me pongo down

(Down) girl, I'm dying for your love
(Down) I can't handle anymore
(Down) si no tengo tu querer
Si no tengo de tu amor, girl, that makes me feel so down

Girl, can't you see
Que yo no puedo vivir sin ti
And my life is going down
Porque no te tengo a ti
Porque no estás junto a mí, oh, baby

Girl, can't you see
Que yo no puedo vivir sin ti
And my life is going down (so down)
Porque no te tengo a ti
Porque no estás junto a mí, oh, baby
You make me feel so down, oh-yeh

Hoy he despertao'
Acariciando la noticia de que tú no volverás
Desorientao', dando vueltas en mi cama
Pensando si me amas, yo, que te he amao'
Como nadie, como loco, amores como el mío pocos hay
Duermo soleao', rochao' porque te has marchao'
Y hoy desperté en la misma casa, en el mismo cuarto
En la misma cama en donde te amé, hey
Y eso me pone down, down

You make me feel so down, oh-yeh

Overall Meaning

The song "Down" by RKM & Ken-Y is a heart-wrenching ballad that speaks to the pain of lost love. The lyrics express the sadness and loneliness of the singer who has woken up to the realization that his love is not coming back. He is lost, disoriented, and unable to move on from his feelings for her. The repetitions of "Down, down, down" in the lyrics reinforce the sense of despair and helplessness that the singer is feeling.


The song is particularly interesting for its use of a mix of musical genres, including reggaeton, pop, and R&B. The melody features a prominent piano riff that adds to the melancholic mood of the song. The lyrics are in Spanish, but the English-speaking audience can still appreciate the emotions behind them. The song's music video features the duo walking through empty streets and singing in a candlelit room, adding to the symbolic weight of the song's lyrics.
