Ser Feliz Lyrics in English by Ricky Martin

Desesperada means "desperate" or "hopeless." It's a strong adjective that conveys a deep sense of urgency or despair.

In "Ser Feliz," Ricky Martin sings, "Sé que estás desesperada y que lloras con tu almohada" (I know you're desperate and you cry with your pillow). This word paints a vivid picture of someone in emotional distress, making the promise of happiness even more impactful and relatable.

Ricky Martin keeps this one simple: he found someone, and now he wants to be happy with her. "Te encontré como en un sueño" ("I found you as if in a dream") opens the song, and he admits right away that he doesn't have the right words for her: "Mis palabras torpes sin saber qué más decir" ("My clumsy words, not knowing what else to say").

He notices she's still guarded, crying into her pillow at night, unconvinced this is real. His answer isn't a big declaration; it's the chorus, repeated until it sinks in: "Ser feliz siempre junto a ti" ("To be happy, always next to you"). No promises about forever, no drama, just a decision he's already made.
