ME DESPERTÉ Lyrics English Translation by BHAVI x Jorge Drexler
I woke up, your scent was still on my sheets
I looked for you, but you weren’t there—just a blurry photo on my camera
You’re playing with my mind, driving me crazy
I woke up, ready to keep the promise I made
So I asked you, ‘cause if I don’t do it today, I might never say it
I just hope you’ll say yes—I’ve been wanting to take you out for so long
Take you to the movies, buy you some popcorn, help fix that broken heart
You must’ve fallen straight from the sky, baby, you’re sweet like candy
For you, for you, I write these melodies (Oh-oh-oh), I take you home, never to a motel
For you, for you, of course, I get jealous (Oh), I won’t let anyone lay a hand on you
For you, for you, I’d freeze time (Oh-oh-oh), before you, my heart was below zero, shit
I can read the feelings in your face, I think you feel the same way
I’ll keep you safe from everything bad, bring you home like my biggest prize
To find you, I became Amadeo, but I still freeze up when I see you
You own me, and I’m a CEO—but suddenly…
I woke up, ready to keep the promise I made
So I asked you, ‘cause if I don’t do it today, I might never say it
I just hope you’ll say yes—I’ve been wanting to take you out for so long
Take you to the movies, buy you some popcorn, help fix that broken heart
You’re a mystery, a masterpiece, warm and kind
More butterfly, less cocoon, it’s your time to shine
You gave me the title, I wanna renew it
I want your love, not just a handout
You’re the most beautiful poem I’ve ever read
The rarest piece in the museum’s set
The wild horse no one could tame
You’re the Jacinta from Eduardo Mateo’s fame
By the way, jealousy’s ugly
Don’t let Bhavi call you a trophy
Bhavito won’t bite, though he might bark
I’ve got an idea, a brilliant start
Would you be so kind as to introduce me to your mom?
Hello, nice to meet you
Hello
I woke up (Oh-oh-oh), ready to keep the promise I made
So I asked you, ‘cause if I don’t do it today, I might never say it
I just hope you’ll say yes—I’ve been wanting to take you out for so long
Take you to the movies, buy you some popcorn, help fix that broken heart
