Verse 1

Stop saying you can't go on anymore, already

The Spanish line could be expressed as 'Deja de decir que ya no puedes más' meaning 'Stop saying you've had enough/you can't go on'

As if nobody heard you

Stop insisting that you have nothing

As if you were alone

Stop saying that you can't anymore

That you can't go on, because it's not true

Stop living in this loneliness

In this loneliness, that is in your body

Or: In this solitude, that is in your being

Verse 2

If you come to the sea, dive into the water

And you'll see that suddenly

You can heal, because in your gaze

It says that you are strong

Or: It (your gaze) says that you're strong

Stop crying, saying you can't go on anymore

That you can't anymore, because yes you can

Stop living in this loneliness

In this loneliness, that is in your mind

Verse 3

If you come to the sea, dive into the water

And you'll see that suddenly

You can heal, because in your gaze

It says that you are strong

Stop crying, saying you can't go on anymore

That you can't anymore, because yes you can

Stop living in this loneliness

In this loneliness, that is in your mind

Outro

Stop saying that you're nothing

That you can't do it anymore, that you're nothing

Stop saying that you're nothing

That you can't do it anymore, that you're nothing

Stop saying that you're nothing

That you can't do it anymore, that you're nothing

sumérgete — immerse yourself

Sumérgete is a beautiful command that means "immerse yourself" or "dive in". It comes from the verb sumergir, to submerge.

In this hypnotic song, Bomba Estéreo uses it as a call to action for healing. They sing "Si vienes al mar, sumérgete al agua" (If you come to the sea, immerse yourself in the water), using the ocean as a powerful metaphor for washing away sadness and finding your strength.

Need a boost of tropical energy to snap you out of a spiral? Colombian group Bomba Estéreo delivers a direct, refreshing reality check with "Deja". The title comes from the verb dejar (to leave or stop), and singer Li Saumet uses the command form to tell you straight: stop putting yourself down. She repeats "Deja de decir que no puedes más" ("Stop saying you can't take it anymore") and reminds the listener that this feeling is a trick of the brain: "esta soledad... está en tu mente" ("this loneliness... is in your mind"). It is blunt, caring, and impossible to ignore.

The cure she offers is pure nature. Instead of sitting inside with heavy thoughts, she invites you to take a dip: "Si vienes al mar, sumérgete al agua / Y verás que de repente / Te puedes curar" ("If you come to the sea, submerge into the water / And you will see that suddenly / You can heal"). The song strips away all the drama and urges you to drop the negative self-talk ("Deja de decir que no eres nada" / "Stop saying you are nothing") because the sea sees strength in your eyes.
