Desamparas comes from the verb desamparar, which means 'to forsake' or 'to abandon'. It's a deeply emotional word formed from des- (un-) and amparar (to shelter or protect), literally meaning to leave someone without protection or help.
In the song, the singer cries out in desperation, "Le grito a Dios '¿Por qué me desamparas?'" (I scream to God, 'Why do you forsake me?'). This powerful, almost biblical plea highlights the depth of her loneliness and pain, making it a dramatic and unforgettable word to add to your vocabulary.
This song is for anyone who's ever had a breakup where you're supposed to be over it, but you're really, really not. Becky G and the Aguilar siblings sing about being stuck wondering about an ex. They ask all the questions you're not supposed to ask: "Dime si hay otra boca que te besa" (Tell me if another mouth is kissing you) and even wonder if their ex covered up their name with a new tattoo. It's that feeling of seeing your ex move on, or at least imagining they have, while you're still completely stuck in the past.
And the singers are going to dramatic lengths to try and feel better. They sing about how, on the contrary, they've almost lost their soul just to avoid the pain. They even tried to make a deal with fate, but karma's response was simple and brutal: "'Todo se paga'" (Everything has a price). The song is full of these huge, desperate feelings, like screaming at God and trying to sell your soul just to feel nothing for a while. It's a powerful look at how memories can hurt, but as they sing, "Pero aún no me matan" (But they haven't killed me yet).
