Verse 1

Stop saying that you can't do it anymore

The Spanish line could be expressed as 'Deja de decir que ya no puedes más' meaning 'Stop saying you've had enough/you can't go on'

As if nobody heard you

Stop insisting that you have nothing

As if you were alone

Stop saying that you can't anymore

That you can't anymore, because it's not true

Stop living in this loneliness

In this loneliness, that is in your body

Or: In this solitude, that is in your being

Verse 2

If you come to the sea, dive into the water

And you'll see that suddenly

You can heal, because in your gaze

He says that you are strong

Or: It (your gaze) says that you're strong

Stop crying that you can't anymore

That you can't anymore, because yes you can

Stop living in this loneliness

In this loneliness, that is in your mind

Verse 3

If you come to the sea, dive into the water

And you'll see that suddenly

You can heal, because in your gaze

He says that you are strong

Stop crying that you can't anymore

That you can't anymore, because yes you can

Stop living in this loneliness

In this loneliness, that is in your mind

Outro

Stop saying that you're nothing

That you can't do it anymore, that you're nothing

Stop saying that you're nothing

That you can't do it anymore, that you're nothing

Stop saying that you're nothing

That you can't do it anymore, that you're nothing

SONG MEANING

Deja means “stop” or “let go”, and that single word is the heartbeat of this vibrant Colombian track. With hypnotic beats and shimmering synths, Bomba Estéreo urges you to drop the self-doubt, slip into the sea of possibility, and remember your own power. Each verse calls out the negative phrases we whisper to ourselves—no puedo más (“I can’t anymore”), no soy nada (“I’m nothing”)—only to wash them away with a tidal rush of optimism. The ocean imagery is no accident: Li Saumet paints water as a healing force, inviting you to dive in, clear your mind, and surface stronger.

By the time the chorus loops back, the message is unmistakable: your loneliness is mostly in your head, your strength is written in your eyes, and you absolutely can. “Deja” turns self-talk into dance-floor therapy, blending alternative electronic grooves with Caribbean roots so that letting go feels as natural as moving your feet. One listen and you will want to trade every “I can’t” for a splash of saltwater courage—and maybe a little shimmy under the tropical sun.
