Promise
Romeo Santos Feat. Usher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He perdido el balance por tu amor
En tus manos yo caí, tienes control sobre mi
Tu cuerpo es la cárcel y yo un prisionero
Y jamás quiero salir, condenado soy feliz

Try to keep my balance but I still fall
But how'd I fall so hard
Right into your arms, I swear girl
Wrapped inside you baby and it's so warm
Love without a cause
Leaves me trapped inside my own bars

Quiero ser tuyo enterito pero tengo miedo
Prométeme que no me vas a dejar sin tu amor

I'll give you my heart girl but you got to promise (prométame mami)

Promise you'll hold me (hold me) touch me (touch me)
Love me, way past forever

Yo tan joven padezco del corazón
Y por tu amor sufriría mil años y con mucho honor

I'm trying to be calm but my chest keeps pounding
Try to swim but it's like I'm drowning
All I've come for is love, oh baby

Quiero ser tuyo enterito pero tengo miedo
Prométeme que no me vas a dejar sin tu amor

I'll give you my heart girl but you got to promise (prométame mami)

Promise you'll hold me (hold me) touch me (touch me)
Love me, way past forever

You need this in your life, two kings, revolutionary

Temo que me dejes en el abandono
Y tue eres mi oxigeno y mi todo

But I realize yes
Worth running a race, when the finish line is you

Quiero ser tuyo enterito pero tengo miedo
Prométeme que no me vas a dejar sin tu amor

If give you my heart girl but you got to promise (promise that you'll love me baby)
Promise you'll hold me, (hold me) touch me, (touch me)
Love me (love me) way past forever





Quiero ser tuyo enterito pero tengo miedo
Prométeme que no me vas a dejar sin tu amor

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Romeo Santos and Usher's "Promise" talk about the overpowering love they have for their partner. Romeo starts the song admitting that he has lost his balance because of his love, and how his partner has control over him. He compares his partner's body to a jail, but he is happy to be imprisoned in her love. Usher's verse talks about how he fell so hard for his partner, comparing being wrapped inside her to a warm embrace. However, he also feels trapped and imprisoned by this love without a cause.


Romeo then admits that he wants to belong to his partner entirely but is afraid of getting hurt. He asks her to promise that she will never leave him without her love. The chorus tells his partner that he will give his heart to her, but in return, he wants her to hold him, touch him, and love him way past forever. Romeo talks about how he suffers from a young heart, but he is willing to suffer for a thousand years for his partner's love.


The song ends with both artists admitting their fear of being abandoned by their partner, who means everything to them. However, they also realize that love is worth running a race when the finish line is their partner. "Promise" is an emotional song with the artists' expressing their fear of getting hurt, while still being ready to give everything for love.

Lyrics:

I've been walking the wire over your love
And I've fallen into your hands
But I don't know where I'll land
Your body holds me hostage whenever I touch you
I'm a prisoner inside, baby til' the end of time

Try to keep my balance but I still fall
But how'd I fell so hard right into your arms, I swear
Wrapped inside you baby and it's so warm (yeah yeah yeah)
But love without a cause leaves me trapped inside my own bars

Baby I want you I need you to love me completely
So promise me you'll never be anybody's but mine (talk to her Usher)
I'll give you my heart girl but you got to promise (Prometeme mami)
Promise you'll hold me (hold me), oh touch me (touch me)
Love me way past forever
(Hasta siempre, escucha las palabras de Romeo)
Yeah man, Usher baby, Romeo

I know I'm young and I'll give my life for you
And there is nothing that I wouldn't suffer to prove that it's true
(Don't doubt it baby)

I'm trying to be calm but my chest keeps pounding
Try to swim but it's like I'm drowning
All I've come for your love, oh baby

Baby I want you I need you to love me completely,
So promise me you'll never be anybody's but mine (Usher)
I'll give you my heart girl but you got to promise (Ay prometeme mami)
Promise you'll hold me (hold me), oh touch me (oh touch me),
Love me way past forever

You need this in your life (Yeah man)
Two kings (Revolutionary)
Hey Romeo, talk to her (OK)

Without you girl I would be barely breathing
I never would survive if you would leave me
But I realize yes
It's worth running the race
When the finish line is you

Baby I want you I need you pero tengo miedo
So promise me you'll never be anybody's but mine
If I give you my heart girl you got to promise
(Promise that you'll love me baby)
Promise you'll hold me (hold me), touch me (touch me)
Love me way past forever

Baby I want you I need you to love me forever
So promise me you'll never be anybody's but mine...
