Respira Lyrics in English by Alkilados

Rencor translates to "resentment" or "grudge". It's a strong emotional word that describes a deep-seated bitterness or ill will towards someone.

In the song, the singer expresses a desire to move past the pain caused by a past mistake, stating, "No guarde rencor, quiero verte mas" (I didn't hold resentment, I want to see you more). This word is interesting because it highlights the emotional depth of the song's plea for forgiveness and reconciliation, making it more impactful than a simpler word for anger.

Alkilados brings us a heartfelt plea in "Respira," where our singer is really trying to win back a love he lost. He admits, "Yo se que ha pasado el tiempo y que / Tal vez de mi te olvidaste mujer" [I know time has passed and that / Maybe you forgot about me, woman], showing he knows he messed up and she might have moved on. But he can't let go, because he hasn't found anyone else like her, saying, "no he podido encontrar lo que en ti encontré" [I haven't been able to find what I found in you].

He's desperate, asking her to "Respira, escúchame bien" [Breathe, listen to me well] and confessing, "Yo te amo tanto / Tanto que muero muy lento / Si tu me dices que no" [I love you so much / So much that I die very slowly / If you tell me no]. He even says, "Un error lo comete cualquiera / Por eso pido perdón" [Anyone can make a mistake / That's why I ask for forgiveness], trying to get her to see his side. He's convinced no one can compare, repeating, "Es que nadie me mira como tu / Es que nadie me besa como tu / Es que nadie me toca como tu" [Because no one looks at me like you / Because no one kisses me like you / Because no one touches me like you]. This is his last shot, and he makes it clear, "Piénsalo dos veces antes de colgar / Piénsalo dos veces porque no vuelvo a llamar" [Think about it twice before hanging up / Think about it twice because I won't call again]. Talk about putting it all on the line!
