Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Déjame Ir by Andrés Cepeda from Spanish to English.

When you stole my gaze and you didn't have permission

I understood that you can't cover the sun with one finger

I underestimated your kisses, your spell caught me

For playing so much with fire I burned my heart

And even though it was always in our plans to follow the script

Suddenly a kiss arrives and we have to improvise

I'll blame your broken lips and your slow dances

for the fact that we weren't able to react

If it's up to me I'd force you to stay

But today the wind blows in your favor

And if catching you costs a lifetime don't make it worse

Let me go

Forbid your eyes from stealing my breath

Make your mouth try to stay away

Let me go

Order your hands not to touch my door

It'll be better if they don't find out that it's open

My heart won't take it if you don't let me go

Let me go

And even though I have written so many plans for you to love me

I know it's true that love is a game for two

Because that thing of being your friend without breaking the rules

Today I'd like to be honest: it never worked

If it's up to me I'd force you to stay

But today the wind blows in your favor

And if catching you costs a lifetime don't make it worse

Let me go

Forbid your eyes from stealing my breath

Make your mouth try to stay away

Let me go

Order your hands not to touch my door

It'll be better if they don't find out that it's open

My heart won't take it if you don't let me go

Let me go

Forget everything that you know

Don't go expecting that I'll miss you

I don't want you to come even a single second to ask me for forgiveness

Forget everything that you know

Don't go expecting that I'll miss you

And erase every letter even if it's your song

Stay here

Allow your eyes to steal my breath

Force your mouth to never be far again

Stay here

Order your hands to touch my door

It'll be better when they find out that it's open

And even though in the end I don't have all the answers

My heart won't take it if you let it go

Stay here

SONG MEANING

Déjame Ir is a bittersweet tug-of-war between head and heart. Andrés Cepeda and Morat paint the picture of someone who has been completely disarmed by a stolen glance, slow dances, and spellbinding kisses. He knows he is playing with fire, feels his heart burning, and tries to regain control by begging the other person to let him go. Every line lists tiny commands—“prohibit your eyes,” “order your hands,” “close the door”—as if rules could extinguish a passion that already lit up the room.

Yet the song refuses to stay in one emotional lane. Just when the narrator insists on freedom, he flips the script with an urgent “Quédate aquí”—“Stay here.” The final chorus reveals the real conflict: he does not truly want distance, he wants certainty, and love rarely offers it. Déjame Ir captures that universal moment when we push someone away to protect ourselves, only to realize that losing them might hurt even more than the risk of loving them.
