Entregarte comes from the verb entregar (to hand over, to surrender) and te (you). It's a powerful word that means much more than just 'to give'; it implies a complete surrender of oneself.
In the song, Juanes sings "Y mi corazón entero entregarte" (And to surrender my entire heart to you). He uses this word to express total devotion and commitment, making it a beautiful and intense way to describe profound love.
"A Dios Le Pido" translates literally to "I ask of God," and Colombian rocker Juanes turns this track into a fast-paced, high-energy rock prayer. Instead of kneeling quietly in church, he belts out his biggest hopes and fears over a driving beat. His wishlist covers the most important parts of his life: he asks for his parents' well-being ("Que mi madre no se muera y que mi padre me recuerde" [May my mother not die and may my father remember me]), peace for his homeland ("Que mi pueblo no derrame tanta sangre" [May my people not shed so much blood]), and protection for future generations.
At the center of it all is total, dramatic devotion to the person he loves. He asks for extra time on earth just to stay by their side ("Un segundo más de vida para darte" [One more second of life to give you]) and insists that if he has to die, it should only be from loving too hard ("Que si me muero sea de amor" [If I die, let it be of love]). Notice how he sings "y si me enamoro sea de vos" (and if I fall in love, let it be with you): he uses vos instead of ti or tú, which is the everyday way people address each other in parts of Colombia like Medellín. It is honest, urgent, and impossible not to sing along to.
