OTRO MINUTO Lyrics in English by De La Ghetto
Fugitivo literally means "fugitive" or "on the run." It's an evocative word that creates a strong image of something elusive and hard to catch.
In this song, the artist uses it to describe his lover's kisses as "fugitivo'" (fugitive), implying that they are now gone and out of reach, much like someone fleeing from the law. This metaphorical use adds a dramatic and poignant layer to the feeling of loss and longing.
De La Ghetto turns Otro Minuto into a countdown of loss, every line marking one more minute without someone. The hook says it plainly: "Otro minuto que no estás, otro minuto que sin ti no vivo" [Another minute you're not here, another minute I can't live without you]. Each verse adds another minute to the pile until the wait feels endless.
He keeps circling back to one memory for comfort, admitting "Que me aprietas la mano y dices: 'quédate conmigo'" [that you squeeze my hand and say: stay with me]. By the chorus he stops pretending the distance is bearable: "No quiero tenerte lejos" [I don't want you far away], "Esto me está haciendo daño" [this is hurting me]. He asks for one more shot with "Vente conmigo otra vez" and "Devuélveme la vida" [Come back to me again, and give me my life back]. It's a breakup plea set to a beat built for dancing, very much a De La Ghetto move.
