Verse 1
If you want a bit of me
You should wait for me
And walk slowly
Or: And walk at a slow pace
Very slowly
Prechorus 1
And little by little forget
Time and its speed
To slow down the pace, to go very slow
Slower
Chorus 1
Be delicate and wait
Give me time to give you everything that I have
Be delicate and wait
Give me time to give you everything that I have
Verse 2
If you want a bit of me
Give me patience and you'll see
It will be better than running
To take flight
Prechorus 2
And little by little forget
Time and its speed
To slow down the pace, to go very slow
Each time slower
Chorus 2
Be delicate and wait
Give me time to give you everything that I have
Be delicate and wait
Give me time to give you everything that I have
Bridge
If you talk to me about love
If you soften my life
I won't be any more time without knowing what I feel
Chorus 3
Be delicate and wait
Give me time to give you everything that I have
Be delicate and wait
Give me time to give you everything that I have

SONG MEANING

Hit pause on hurry and press play on Lento. In this breezy pop tune, Mexican-American singer Julieta Venegas invites a would-be sweetheart to trade sprinting for strolling. If you want a share of her heart, she says, ease your pace, hush the ticking clock, and move “muy lento.” The recurring line “sé delicado y espera” (be gentle and wait) turns patience into a romantic superpower, promising that love grows brighter when it is not rushed.

Think of the song as a slow-dance manifesto. By asking to “frenar el ritmo” (hit the brakes) and “levantar vuelo” only after savoring each step, Julieta sketches a space where feelings can blossom safely. She cannot give “todo lo que tengo” – everything she has – until time itself loosens its grip. Wrapped in an infectious melody, Lento delivers a simple yet refreshing reminder: the sweetest connections appear when we savor every beat like the lingering echo of a favorite chorus.
