No Sé Tú Lyrics in English by Luis Miguel
Despojar is a powerful verb that literally means 'to strip away' or 'to dispossess'. It’s a much more intense word than simply 'to forget'.
In this classic ballad, Luis Miguel sings "Ni un minuto me logro despojar de tus besos" (I can't manage to get rid of your kisses for even a minute). He uses this word to create a vivid image of struggling to free himself from her memory, as if her kisses are something physically attached to him that he cannot remove.
Mexican pop star Luis Miguel takes a delightfully obsessive look at a recent romantic encounter in "No Sé Tú" ("I Don't Know About You"). The entire premise relies on him admitting that while he has no idea what is going on in the other person's head, he is completely hooked. He looks back at their time together and admits he wants to repeat "el cansancio que me hiciste sentir" ("the tiredness you made me feel" from the night they shared. It is a bold, honest confession about how an incredible date can completely ruin your ability to focus on daily life.
Every day after that night turns into a struggle with his own thoughts. He admits that he cannot strip away the memories of those kisses ("ni un minuto me logro despojar"), and soon the obsession follows him everywhere: while trying to rest on his pillow, hanging out with friends, or walking down empty streets. By the end, he is losing sleep and confesses that the lack of rest is making him sick ("si de insomnio, yo me enfermo"). It builds straight to the core message: "me haces falta, mucha falta" ("I miss you, so much").
