Por Ti Lyrics in English David Bisbal
Naufrago literally translates to "shipwrecked person" or "castaway." It's a dramatic and evocative noun that isn't commonly found in everyday conversation or every song.
In this song, David Bisbal uses it metaphorically to express being completely at the mercy of his beloved. He sings, "Soy un naufrago a tu merced" (I am a castaway at your mercy), vividly portraying his complete surrender and vulnerability in love. This poetic usage makes it a memorable and impactful word.
"Por Ti" is David Bisbal's ode to being completely consumed by love. The title means "Because of you" or "For you," and every verse circles back to it: he's stubborn, reckless, obsessed, addicted, shipwrecked, drowning, and sentenced — all because of one person.
The imagery leans dramatic and physical: he's a wandering dreamer chained forever to his own illusion, a lover who waits every night for this passion, someone falling into an abyss of pleasure. It's love described less like a warm feeling and more like a force he can't fight off.
That's the fun of learning Spanish through a song like this: it's a great source for intense, romantic vocabulary — obstinado, hechizado, náufrago, desbocado — words that turn "I really like you" into something much bigger.
