SLOWMOTION Lyrics in English Lola Indigo
Deshace comes from the verb deshacer, meaning 'to undo', 'to melt away', or 'to come apart'. It's a versatile word that evokes a sense of gradual transformation or dissolution.
In "SLOWMOTION", Lola Indigo uses deshace in a vivid simile: "Lento como cuando se derrite el chocolate, así va cayendo y poco a poco se deshace." This paints a sensual picture of something slowly melting and dissolving, perfectly capturing the song's theme of a slow, deliberate, and intimate encounter. It's a more evocative choice than a simple word for 'melt'.
"SLOWMOTION" is Lola Indigo's ode to taking a new attraction slow and savoring every second of it. She opens with a quick, almost cinematic meet-cute over drinks, then spends the rest of the song asking for the opposite of that speed: she wants everything that follows in slow motion.
The chorus repeats "lo quiero lento" (I want it slow) again and again, pairing the Spanish word with the English "slow-mo" to underline the idea. She is not in a rush, and she wants her partner to match that pace, in cámara lenta (slow motion), watching closely rather than hurrying through.
The verses lean into sensory, playful imagery, like chocolate slowly melting and dancing "like Beyoncé for Jay-Z," to describe wanting an intimate moment to stretch out and be savored rather than rushed. By the bridge, "mi cama arde" (my bed is burning) and "let me love you" make the desire explicit, but the hook never lets go of its central request: slow down.
