Dime Como Me Hago (Feat. Gilberto Santa Rosa) Lyrics in English by Pavel Núñez
Sacarme comes from the verb sacar, meaning 'to take out' or 'to remove'. The addition of 'me' makes it reflexive, meaning 'to take out of myself' or 'to remove from me'.
In this song, the artist uses sacarme in a very poetic way: "Cómo hago para sacarme los colores de tu piel" (How do I take the colors of your skin out of me?). It's a unique and evocative way to express the deep imprint someone has left on them, making it an interesting and memorable word choice.
Pavel Núñez, a Dominican artist, teams up with Gilberto Santa Rosa for "Dime Como Me Hago," a song about a love that started strong but now feels impossible to shake. The lyrics describe a connection that began the moment their lives combined, with a shared passion that demanded a response: "la vida empezó y nos combinamos y a los dos combino responder a esta pasión" [life began and we combined, and for both of us it was right to respond to this passion].
It seems like one look was all it took for everything to change, as the singer says, "solo una mirada en Mi bandera fue a tus pies" [just one look and my flag was at your feet]. But now, the singer is desperate to forget this person, asking repeatedly, "Cómo hago para sacarme los colores de tu piel" [How do I get the colors of your skin out of me?], "Cómo me hago como amigo" [How do I become a friend?], and "Cómo cortar la amistad como mi amor" [How do I cut the friendship like my love?]. The song is a plea for help to forget a love that has become too deeply ingrained, with the repeated question, "dime cómo se me olvida dime cómo se me olvida eso" [tell me how I forget that, tell me how I forget that].
