solo un rato para vos
si no entiendo lo que entiendas
tal vez sea por los dos

si te pido que me quieras
no me creas es mejor
si te grito que te pierdas
tal vez sea sin razon
porque pasan dias.

The lyrics to Smitten's song "Dame" are quite straightforward in their meaning, with the singer asking for something from their romantic interest. They mention that they may not completely understand what the other person is thinking, but it might be better for both of them if they let the music take over. The repetition of "porque pasan dias" (because days pass) in between the requests for physical intimacy creates a sense of urgency and desire.
The singer sings "dame dame dame" (give, give, give me) which shows that they are in a position of wanting, needing, or even begging for something from the other person. They repeat "quiero quiero quiero" (I want, I want, I want) after "dame" which emphasizes their desire for physical contact. The lines "si te pido que me quieras, no me creas es mejor" (if I ask you to love me, don't believe me, it's better) and "si te grito que te pierdas, tal vez sea sin razon" (if I yell at you to leave, maybe it's without reason) demonstrate that the singer is conflicted and unsure about their own feelings and desires.
Overall, "Dame" showcases the raw emotions of a person in a complicated relationship with someone they want physically, but may not be sure they love or trust completely. The repeated phrases and urgent tone of the song create a sense of longing and desperation.

No matter what you want
It's just for a moment for you
If I don't understand what you're saying
Maybe it's for the both of us
