Raúl Ornelas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Si me he dado un golpe o ya comienzo a enloquecer
Siento por las noches unos dedos en los pies
De un fantasma loco disfrazado de mujer
Algo está girando en mi cabeza y no sé bien
Si ando poco baja la presión o es que tu miel
Endulzo de golpe cada poro de mi piel
Discretamente tú
Has ido apoderándote de mi salud
Se opacan mis sentidos si no está tu luz
Y el cielo pierde un poco de su intenso azul
Discretamente tú
Me has ido seduciendo como lo hace un blues
Sin darme tiempo a nada, tienes la virtud
De ya sentirme preso sin esclavitud
Discretamente tú
Algo está girando en mi cabeza y no sé bien
Si ando poco baja la presión o es que tu miel
Endulzo de golpe cada poro de mi piel
Y ha tocado el punto más sensible de mi ser
Discretamente tú
Has ido apoderándote de mi salud
Se opacan mis sentidos si no está tu luz
Y el cielo pierde un poco de su intenso azul
Discretamente tú
Me has ido seduciendo como lo hace un blues
Sin darme tiempo a nada, tienes la virtud
De ya sentirme preso sin esclavitud
Discretamente tú
(Discretamente tú)
Discretamente tú
The song Discretamente by Raúl Ornelas is a love song that describes the gradual and subtle way in which the singer falls in love with someone. The lyrics describe the confusion and uncertainty that he feels about his emotions, as he tries to figure out whether what he is feeling is a result of an injury, a sickness or if he is going crazy. He describes feeling the presence of a "ghost" of sorts, that is disguised as a woman and whose touch has made him more sensitive and vulnerable than ever before. The singer then goes on to explain how this person has gradually taken over his life without him even realizing it, and how his every sense and feeling is dependent on their presence. He compares this feeling to that of a blues song, where one is seduced by the melody and the rhythm without even realizing they are being taken over.
Through the song's lyrics, Ornelas portrays the beauty and mystery of falling in love slowly and deeply, and the ways in which it can affect a person's life in ways they never thought possible. He also explores the idea that love can be both liberating and enslaving, and that it can bring out the best and worst in a person. The song's melancholic melody and soulful vocals perfectly capture the emotions and feelings described in the lyrics, making it a powerful ballad that resonates with people of all ages and backgrounds.
