Lyrics & Translation
I've been calling for a while, answer me
The hands of the clock aren't moving
You have me floating in the air, but far from the sky
Even though losing you is scary, really just tell me no
Where, where are you?
I've been calling for a while, answer me
The hands of the clock aren't moving
You have me floating in the air, but far from the sky
Even though losing you is scary, really just tell me no
One forgives, but who erases the scars?
Without warning, life throws you a couple of quizzes
I've erased more than 10 drafts of the letter I wrote
And still, I don't know if you'll understand what it says
What good is it to have a fortune if I'm breaking inside?
I close this chapter
It'll be a rest for my brain
Just crying, but in a Ferro, yeah
Bad girl, you were bad
You were bad, don't be bad
Let me do it for you
For the last time in my bed
Where, where are you?
I've been calling for a while, answer me
The hands of the clock aren't moving
You have me floating in the air, but far from the sky
Even though losing you is scary, really just tell me no
Like when the flowers aren't watered
Baby, I'm sad, I'm sad
If I made you scream in the room, why did you leave? If you came
I used to sleep easily, now I can't find sleep
I'm going out to cool down this hell
A couple of girls are asking me to be their owner
I have a broken heart, but I don't show it
Mommy, armored from head to toe
God protects me, eh (I hope it protects you too)
I get up stronger from all my falls, eh
Look at me in the club, grinding in a corner
I thought I knew you, but honestly, I didn't
Where, where are you?
I've been calling for a while, answer me
The hands of the clock aren't moving
You have me floating in the air, but far from the sky
Even though losing you is scary, really just tell me no
(Where are you?) Saturn
Just tell me no
(Answer) Yeah
Ra-Rauw
Rauw Alejandro (you have me floating in the air), eh
Saturn (just tell me no)
Mr. NaisGai
Kenobi (Tonight I'm dancing all night)
With the fuckin' Sensei
Yeah

Key Grammar Structures
-
¿Dónde, dónde estás?
➔ Interrogative Adverbs and Repetition for Emphasis
➔ The use of "¿Dónde?" repeated twice emphasizes the singer's desperation in searching for the person. The adverb "dónde" means "where."
-
Llevo rato llamando, contesta
➔ Present Progressive Implied and Imperative
➔ "Llevo rato llamando" implies the continuous action of calling (present progressive implied). "Contesta" is the imperative form of "contestar" (to answer), meaning "answer (the phone).".
-
No corren las manecilla' del reloj
➔ Present Tense with Impersonal Subject
➔ The subject "las manecillas del reloj" (the hands of the clock) is an object, not a person. The verb "corren" (run) is conjugated in the third person plural to agree with the plural subject.
-
Aunque perderte da miedo, en verdad mejor dime que no
➔ Subjunctive Mood after 'Aunque' and Conditional Sentence
➔ "Aunque" (although) often introduces a clause requiring the subjunctive mood when expressing doubt, uncertainty, or something contrary to fact. Here, the subjunctive isn't explicitly present but the implied possibility triggers the desire for a direct answer. "Mejor dime que no" expresses a preference in a hypothetical situation.
-
Uno perdona, ¿pero quién borra las cicatrice'?
➔ Impersonal 'Uno' and Rhetorical Question
➔ "Uno" is used as an impersonal pronoun, meaning "one" or "people in general". The rhetorical question challenges the ease with which one might forgive, contrasting it with the difficulty of erasing emotional scars. The apostrophe in "cicatrice'" is slang for "cicatrices".
-
Llevo más de 10 borradore' de la carta que hice
➔ Preterite and Slang
➔ "Hice" is the preterite (simple past) form of "hacer" (to do, to make). "Borradores" is misspelled as "borradore'" showing slang or dialectal variation. "Llevo + time period + gerund" shows the duration of an action.
-
¿De qué me vale tener una fortuna si por dentro me quiebro?
➔ Conditional Clause with Rhetorical Question and Reflexive Verb
➔ The question poses a hypothetical situation where wealth is contrasted with inner emotional breakdown. "Me quiebro" uses the reflexive verb "quebrarse" to indicate the speaker is breaking down internally. The phrase "¿De qué me vale...?" is used to express the uselessness of something.
-
Solo llorando, pero en un Ferro, yeah
➔ Gerund Phrase and Ellipsis
➔ "Llorando" is the gerund form of "llorar" (to cry). There is an ellipsis (omission) of a verb, like "Estoy" (I am) to say "Estoy solo llorando".
-
Deja que te lo haga, Por última vez en mi cama
➔ Subjunctive Mood and Pronoun Placement
➔ "Deja que te lo haga" translates to "Let me do it to you". "Deja" is the imperative form of "dejar", which requires the subjunctive in the subordinate clause introduced by "que". The pronouns "te" and "lo" are placed before the verb in this case.
