Dedícalo is the imperative form of the verb dedicar, meaning "to dedicate." It's a strong, direct command.
In this romantic ballad, Luis Miguel repeatedly uses this word to implore his beloved to dedicate her free time to him. It's a central theme of the song, highlighting his deep desire for her attention and time, making it a memorable and emotionally charged word.
Luis Miguel's "El Tiempo Que Te Quede Libre" is such a charming and a little bit cheeky song! It's all about a lover who, despite knowing their partner has many demands on their time, still boldly asks for whatever free moments they can spare. The singer isn't asking for everything, but rather a hopeful plea: "El tiempo que te quede libre, Si te es posible, dedícalo a mí" [The time you have left free, If possible, dedicate it to me].
What I love about this song is the way it balances a humble request with an almost audacious desire. He acknowledges that his partner should "Atiende preferentemente A toda esa gente que te pide amor" [Attend preferentially To all those people who ask you for love], but then immediately circles back to his own wish. He's even happy with just a minute or two: "No importa que sean dos minutos O si es uno, uno solo yo seré feliz" [It doesn't matter if it's two minutes Or if it's one, just one I will be happy]. It's a sweet, slightly demanding, and utterly romantic tune about cherishing even the smallest scraps of time with the one you love.
