Te Dejo Ir Lyrics in English Andrés Cepeda
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Te Dejo Ir by Andrés Cepeda from Spanish to English.
Como las aves de paso
Like migratory birds
Como llegar y partir
Like arriving and leaving
Como se escurre la arena en mis manos
As sand slips through my hands
Te vas desprendiendo de mí
You're slipping away from me
Como las horas que pasan
Like the hours that pass
Como el dolor llega al fin
As pain finally comes
Como vacía quedó un día mi cama
As my bed was left empty one day
Te vas poco a poco de mí
You're slowly leaving me
Y te dejo ir como se evapora el agua
And I let you go as water evaporates
Como va muriendo en el calendario el mes de Abril
As the month of April dies on the calendar
Yo te dejo ir como mi miedo a los fantasmas
I let you go like my fear of ghosts
Yo te dejo ir, yo te dejo ir
I let you go, I let you go
Y te dejo ir como el sueño en las mañanas
And I let you go like morning sleep
Como caen las hojas en los parques de Madrid
As leaves fall in Madrid's parks
Yo te dejo ir como lo que el viento arrastra
I let you go like what the wind sweeps away
Yo te dejo ir amor, yo te dejo ir
I let you go, love, I let you go
Como un recuerdo borrado
Like an erased memory
Como ese niño que fui
Like that child I was
Como la vida en un pestañazo
Like life in a blink
Así te vas tú de mí
That's how you're leaving me
Y te dejo ir como se evapora el agua
And I let you go as water evaporates
Como va muriendo en el calendario el mes de Abril
As the month of April dies on the calendar
Yo te dejo ir como mi miedo a los fantasmas
I let you go like my fear of ghosts
Yo te dejo ir, yo te dejo ir
I let you go, I let you go
Y te dejo ir como el sueño en las mañanas
And I let you go like morning sleep
Como caen las hojas en los parques de Madrid
As leaves fall in Madrid's parks
Yo te dejo ir como lo que el viento arrastra
I let you go like what the wind sweeps away
Yo te dejo ir amor, yo te dejo ir
I let you go, love, I let you go
(Yo te dejo ir)
(I let you go)
Yo te dejo ir
I let you go

escurre — slips away
Escurre comes from the verb escurrir, meaning 'to drain', 'to drip', or 'to slip away'. It's a vivid verb that paints a picture of something gradually disappearing.
In "Te Dejo Ir", Andrés Cepeda uses escurre to describe how sand slips through his hands: "Como se escurre la arena en mis manos" (Like the sand slips away in my hands). This metaphor beautifully conveys the feeling of a relationship slowly fading and becoming impossible to hold onto, making it a poignant and memorable word in the song.
