Desesperado Lyrics in English Andrés Cepeda

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Desesperado by Andrés Cepeda from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
Wet morning
The soaked leaves
The crystal sky
Verse 1
The plate, greasy
The fried eggs
Verse 1
Your pillow, there
Sunday, bohemian
It was just you and me
Chorus 1
And you that leave
Right at the best moment you come and you go
And I here
Broken, damaged
A bit desperate
Verse 2
Hungry, salty
They say that I'm obsessed
I follow you, everywhere
I look at every photo, I track who you're with
I read the comments, I see what you like
I write down the places
I search for some proof that you're not happy
Verse 2
My case is serious
It is worthy of study
Chorus 2
And you that leave
Right at the best moment you come and you go
And I here
Broken, damaged, a bit desperate
Bridge
I know that it's not right
To live like this, chasing you
But it's not in my hands
I'm desperate, without your love
Chorus 3
And now you that leave
At the best moment you come and you go
And I here
Hungry, salty, intense
Stubborn, sad, drowned, kind of out of place
Broken, damaged, a bit desperate

SONG MEANING

Picture a drizzly Sunday morning in Bogotá: rain-soaked leaves, a greasy breakfast plate, pillows still warm, and that bittersweet quiet just after shared laughter — this is the intimate scene where Andrés Cepeda’s “Desesperado” begins, only to shatter it with the sudden exit of a lover. The song follows a narrator who spirals from cozy domesticity into raw obsession, confessing that he scrolls through photos, tracks comments, and maps out every place she might be, all while fully aware that his behavior is unhealthy. Cepeda layers upbeat pop melodies over lyrics that bare a heart roto, dañado, un poco desesperado, painting a relatable portrait of post-breakup desperation: the hunger for answers, the salty sting of rejection, and the relentless hope that the best moment will come back. In just under four minutes, he reminds listeners that love can turn anyone into a detective, a poet, and a fool — sometimes all at once.
