A Dios Le Pido Lyrics in English by Juanes
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.
Colombian rocker Juanes isn't just singing a song here; he's making a list of demands to God. "A Dios Le Pido" literally means "I Ask God," and he's not shy about what he wants. He lays out his prayers one by one, covering everything from his love life to his family to his country. He asks for the simple things, like waking up to his lover's gaze: "Que mis ojos se despierten / Con la luz de tu mirada" (That my eyes wake up / with the light of your gaze).
But the song quickly gets more serious. He prays, "Que mi madre no se muera / Y que mi padre me recuerde" (That my mother doesn't die / And that my father remembers me). Then, he zooms out from his personal life to make a powerful plea for his homeland: "Que mi pueblo no derrame tanta sangre / Y se levante mi gente" (That my people don't shed so much blood / And that my people rise up). It's a passionate mix of personal hopes and a desperate wish for peace, all wrapped up in a rock and roll prayer.
