Dile Lyrics in English by Antonio José
Pasatiempo translates to "pastime" or "hobby." It's an interesting word because it implies something done for enjoyment, often without deep emotional investment.
In the song, the singer uses it to tell the ex-lover that their relationship was "no más que un pasatiempo" (nothing more than a pastime) for the person they were with. This reveals a harsh truth, highlighting the casual and ultimately dismissive nature of the past relationship compared to the new, serious one.
Antonio José's "Dile" is a super direct and passionate song about a new love that's ready to go public! Our singer is absolutely smitten, telling his new partner to finally break up with her current boyfriend because, let's be real, she hasn't been happy for ages. He sings, "Tantas Lunas que ya no sonreías" [So many moons that you no longer smiled], emphasizing how long she's been unhappy.
He's not shy about making his claim, declaring, "Que ese tonto no sabe que ya eres mía" [That fool doesn't know you're already mine]. The chorus is all about making it official: "Dile / Que tú y yo ya somos novios / Tú me tienes loco" [Tell him / That you and I are already together / You drive me crazy]. He's even got a backup plan if she can't do it herself: "Dile o si no / Si prefieres se lo digo yo" [Tell him or else / If you prefer, I'll tell him]. And once that's done? They're packing their bags and heading straight for the Caribbean to dance on the sand, just the two of them. It's a bold, romantic, and slightly cheeky declaration of love!
