Verse 1

You opened my wounds

That I already considered cured with lemon, tequila and salt

A repeated history

Just a déjà-vu that never reaches its end

Prechorus 1

I'd better stay alone

Or: I'd rather stay alone

And I forget about your things, about your eyes

I better dodge the dust

Or: I'd rather dodge the dust

I don't want to fall again into that picture

Of craziness, total hypocrisy

Or: Of madness, of complete hypocrisy

Chorus 1

Who can speak of love and defend it?

Raise your hand please

Who can speak of the pain and pay the bail?

To get out of my heart

If someone is going to speak about love

I assure you

That's not going to be me

Verse 2

This recurring idea

It wants to play with my mind to cheat me again

A repeated history

Just a déjà-vu that never reaches its end

Prechorus 2

I'd better be alone

And I forget about your things, about your eyes

I better dodge the dust

Or: I'd rather dodge the dust

I don't want to fall again into that picture

Of craziness, total hypocrisy

Or: Of madness, of complete hypocrisy

Chorus 2

Who can speak of love and defend it?

Raise your hand please

Who can speak of the pain and pay the bail?

To get out of my heart

If someone is going to speak about love

I assure you

That's not going to be me

Chorus 3

Who can speak of love and defend it?

Raise your hand please

Who can speak of the pain and pay the bail?

To get out of my heart

If someone is going to speak about love

I assure you

That's not going to be me

SONG MEANING

Prince Royce and Shakira spin a sensual bachata tale about the exhausting merry-go-round of a love that never truly heals. In "Deja Vu" they confess that each reunion feels like reopening an old wound, no matter how many shots of tequila try to disinfect the pain. The lovers recognise the cycle—passion, betrayal, regret—and decide it is wiser to stay alone than fall back into the same picture of “locura, hipocresía total.”

Throughout the song they challenge anyone brave enough to raise a hand and vouch for real love, or to pay the emotional bail money that would free their aching hearts. By the end, both singers agree: if someone is going to preach about love, it definitely will not be them. "Deja Vu" is a rhythmic reminder that sometimes self-preservation beats romance, even on the dance floor.
