It's so hot in here
but i can't stop
to take the shade
I have to be on time
If you are not here
The time stops
I do not want to let you go
I have to be on time, oh oh oh oh oh
I have to be on time, oh oh oh oh oh
I don't know how to describe
This that I feel
I don't want to stop hearing your voice
I have to be on time
I wish you were here
With me
I do not want to let you go
I have to be on time, oh oh oh oh oh
I have to be on time, oh oh oh oh oh
I have to be on time, oh oh oh oh oh
I have to be on time, oh oh oh oh oh
I have to be on time, oh oh oh oh oh
I have to be on time, oh oh oh oh oh

describirdescribe

Describir means "to describe." While it might seem like a common word, its usage in this song is particularly poignant and relatable.

Manuel Medrano sings, "No sé cómo describir esto que siento" (I don't know how to describe this feeling). This line captures the universal experience of being so overwhelmed by emotion that words simply fail. It's a powerful moment of vulnerability that makes the song, and this word, memorable.

Get ready for a song about a race against time! In "Tengo Que Llegar A Tiempo," Colombian artist Manuel Medrano sings about a journey filled with urgency. He tells us, "Hace tanto calor aquí / Pero no puedo parar" (It's so hot here / But I can't stop). He's so determined to reach someone that he won't even stop for a break in the shade. The reason is simple and powerful: "Tengo que llegar a tiempo" (I have to arrive on time).

Why the rush? The lyrics reveal that this person is incredibly important. The singer feels that if this person isn't there, "Se detiene el tiempo" (Time stops). He's driven by a feeling so strong he says, "No sé cómo describir / Esto que siento" (I don't know how to describe / What I'm feeling). The song captures that desperate, powerful need to be with someone you can't stand to be without.
