Alejarme De Ti Lyrics in English by Eladio Carrión, Jay Wheeler
Desenfoco comes from the verb desenfocar, meaning 'to lose focus' or 'to blur'. It's an interesting word because it literally refers to a camera losing its sharp image, but here it's used metaphorically.
In the song, the artist uses it to describe how his partner's arguments make him lose his emotional and mental clarity, pulling him away from the intimacy they share. It's a vivid way to express distraction and emotional disarray.
Eladio Carrión and Jay Wheeler spend this whole song losing the same argument with themselves. The hook says it plainly: "Creo que me toca alejarme de ti" ("I think I have to get away from you"), and two lines later he takes it back: "Pero no puedo" ("But I can't"), "No puedo olvidarme de ti" ("I can't forget about you"). That's the whole song in miniature, one line deciding to leave and the next one calling instead.
The verses fill in why it's this hard. He got drunk trying to erase her, "Ayer me emborraché para olvidar lo de nosotros" ("Yesterday I got drunk to forget about us"), and it didn't work; even money stops helping, "Ahora los phillie' no me dan para olvidarte" ("Now the money isn't enough to forget you"). By the bridge he admits the two of them have turned the breakup itself into the relationship: "Peleamos, chingamos para despejarno'" ("We fight, we fuck to clear our minds"). Nobody here is winning. They're just repeating the same night on a loop.
