Excusame
Raúl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La que supo escuchar
Mis alegrias mis penas y mis miedos
Tu el mundo en que llore
Donde me refugie
Amiga y confidente de mis sueños
Volo y perdi en control
Deseos que mandan sobre la piel
Excusame si te ofendio mi beso
Entiendeme me confundio el momento
Perdoname pero en verdad aquel no era yo
Excusame si te parece una locura
Entiendeme no por favor no tengas dudas
Perdoname pero en verdad aquel no era yo
Excusame si te ofendio mi beso
Entiendeme me confundio el momento
Perdoname pero en verdad aquel no era yo
In Raúl's song "Excusame", the lyrics explore the complex and nuanced relationship between two friends, where one confesses feelings of attraction for the other. The song's opening verse establishes the deep trust and emotional intimacy between the singer and their friend, who has always been there to listen to their joys, sorrows, and fears. The second verse describes this friend as a safe haven where the singer sought refuge during difficult times.
However, in the chorus, the singer admits to having acted inappropriately and impulsively, by kissing their friend without consent. They ask for forgiveness and understanding, as they were confused and not in control of their desires. The repetition of the phrase "perdoname pero en verdad aquel no era yo" (forgive me, but that wasn't really me) suggests that the singer is grappling with their own identity and emotions, and that their actions may have been out of character.
Overall, "Excusame" showcases Raúl's ability to evoke complex emotions and relationships through simple yet poignant lyrics. The song speaks to the complexity of love and friendship, and the often blurry line between the two.
