“Basta Ya” is a passionate plea wrapped in dreamy indie-pop vibes. Throughout the lyrics, the singer begs a distant lover to come home and surrender completely: “Entrégate a mi piel… Vuelve a casa ya.” Every line drips with devotion, imagining growing old together, greeting every sunrise side by side, and finding comfort in a partner’s lips and hands. Yet the chorus shouts basta ya ("enough already") because this waiting game is tearing the singer apart. The song captures that bittersweet space where love feels both magical and unbearable—where desire, desperation, and tenderness collide.
Under the smooth vocals and hypnotic production typical of The Marías, “Basta Ya” paints a vivid emotional tug-of-war. One moment the narrator revels in the joy of simply being with their partner, the next they confess that the separation is “me está matando” and they are losing their sanity. By repeating “juntos hasta el final” (“together until the end”), the song ultimately clings to hope: if the lover returns, the pain will finally end and the two can embrace the lifelong love they dream about.
