Verse 1

Today I have a new fear that I didn't have before

It was a month of March, they said that I was losing you

I was by your side, but I already missed you

I swear to God, saying goodbye didn't work for me

And everyone asking how I was

And I wishing to be in the place that you were

The world kept spinning, but not for me

Thinking about everything that we still have to live

Prechorus 1

You were always the best of me

You taught me to love by loving myself

I couldn't accept saying goodbye like this

That's why on my knees I asked

Chorus 1

For a little while longer, for you to stay here

Because among so many people, nobody makes me as happy

And if one day you leave, you're never going to leave

Because every moment you gave me lives in me

Because I'm part of you

Verse 2

I wanted you to hear it from me, not from a third party

I searched for words to tell you, but they hid

I have written love songs, but never to the first one

And you know since '97 that I love you

And in your arms, I learned to take risks

In another life, you were my angel

And in this one without you, there is no Buenos Aires

You taught me everything, but not how to let you go

Prechorus 2

You were always the best of me

You taught me to love by loving myself

I couldn't accept saying goodbye like this

That's why on my knees I asked

Chorus 2

For a little while longer, for you to stay here

Because among so many people, nobody makes me as happy

And if one day you leave, you're never going to leave

Because every moment you gave me lives in me

Because I'm part of you

soltarte — to let you go

soltarte combines the verb soltar (to release, to let go) and the pronoun te (you). It's a deeply emotional word that captures the struggle of moving on from someone you love.

In this moving song dedicated to her father, TINI sings, "Me enseñaste de todo, pero no a soltarte" (You taught me everything, but not how to let you go). This powerful line expresses the pain of potentially losing a loved one and the feeling of being completely unprepared for such a profound loss.

In "Pa", Argentine pop star TINI opens up about an intense family health scare that completely stopped her world. She takes us right back to a hospital room in March with the line "Fue un mes de marzo, dijeron que te perdía" ("It was a month of March, they said I was losing you"). While the rest of the planet kept moving, she was frozen, praying on her knees for just a little more time ("Por un ratito más, porque sigas aquí" [For a little while longer, so you stay here]). She mentions loving this person "desde el 97" ("since '97"—the year she was born), turning this into a direct, vulnerable love letter to her father rather than a romantic partner.

She touches on her hometown, singing "sin ti ya no hay Buenos Aires" ("without you there is no Buenos Aires"), showing how empty the familiar city feels when someone who built your foundation is slipping away. She admits that while she was taught how to take risks, love herself, and live boldly, one crucial lesson was left out: "Me enseñaste de todo, pero no a soltarte" ("You taught me everything, but not how to let you go"). It is a song about realizing you are made of the memories and lessons of the person who raised you.
