No te detengas
sancamaleon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Despertás en este cuerpo y no sabes como llegaste aca
Solo sabes hacer las cosas y después pensar
Y que la vida se te venga encima,
Un animal mirándote a los ojos
No te detengas, no te detengas, no te detengas
Ay niña mia, cuando te mueves siento que el mundo
Me habla en formas que no comprendo,
Pero que entiendo, sos como el aire del desierto
Y al final abrirte, abrir un surco en el espacio eterno
Y despegar, mostrarte, y algo bueno va a pasar
No te detengas, no te detengas, no te detengas mas




Lengua, panza, lengua, panza, lengua, panza, lengua
No te detengas, no te detengas, no te detengas

Overall Meaning

The lyrics describe waking up in a body and not knowing how one got there, but emphasizing that the important thing is to just do things and figure out the rest later. The mention of life coming at someone like an animal staring them in the eyes suggests the overwhelming and unpredictable nature of existence. The chorus, "no te detengas," which translates to "don't stop," serves as a motivational call to action, urging the listener (perhaps specifically addressed to "niña mia," or "my girl") to keep moving forward and not get discouraged.


The second half of the verse shifts to describe the dancing movements of "niña mia," which the singer finds mesmerizing and almost transcendent. The mention of her being like "the air of the desert" suggests a sense of openness and freedom. The lines "abrir un surco en el espacio eterno / y despegar, mostrarte" (roughly translating to "carving a groove in eternal space / and taking off, showing yourself") imply a sense of breaking free from constraints and boundaries, and going to new heights. The repetition of "lengua, panza" towards the end of the song may be a reference to a traditional Latin American dance move called the "cumbia," which involves movements of the tongue and stomach.
