Quiero Dormir Cansado Lyrics in English by Ivan Cornejo
Entregues comes from the verb entregar, which literally means "to deliver" or "to hand over". However, in the context of a love song, it takes on a much deeper, more romantic meaning: "to surrender" or "to give oneself completely."
In this song, Ivan Cornejo sings, "Y te entregues en mis brazos" (And you surrender/give yourself into my arms). This isn't just about a physical return; it's a plea for a full emotional and physical giving of oneself, signifying deep longing and devotion. It's a powerful word that conveys vulnerability and trust in love.
Ivan Cornejo takes heartbreak to a dramatically sleepy extreme in "Quiero Dormir Cansado". Instead of dealing with the sting of unrequited love, he just wants to knock out cold. He begs, "Quiero dormir cansado / Para no pensar en ti" ("I want to sleep tired / So I don't think of you"), hoping physical exhaustion will finally shut his brain off. Waking up hurts too much because reality means facing "la pena de no verte" ("the pain of not seeing you"), so he decides that simply staying asleep forever is a much better plan.
He doubles down on this dramatic escape plan with the line "Quiero dormir eternamente / Porque estoy enamorado / Y ese amor no me comprende" ("I want to sleep eternally / Because I am in love / And that love does not understand me"). In Spanish, "no me comprende" means the person doesn't understand or reciprocate his feelings. His ultimate solution is "Prefiero vivir durmiendo / No quiero vivir llorando" ("I prefer to live sleeping / I don't want to live crying"), choosing a dream world where his love might finally return and collapse into his arms.
