Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Desesperado by cepeda from Spanish to English.

Wet morning

The soaked leaves

The crystal sky

The greasy plate

The smashed eggs

Your pillow there

Bohemian Sunday

Only you and me

And you that leave

Right at the best moment you come and you go

And I'm here

Broken, damaged

And a bit desperate

Hungry, salty

They say that I'm obsessed

I follow you

Everywhere

I look at every photo, I follow who you're with

I read the comments, I see what you like

I jot down the places

I look for some proof that you're not happy

My case is serious

It's worthy of study

And you that leave

Right at the best moment you come and you go

And I'm here

Broken, damaged

And a bit desperate

I know that it's not right

To live like this, chasing you

But it's not in my hands

I'm desperate

Without your love

•••

And now you that leave

At the best moment you come and you go

And I'm here

Hungry, salty, intense, stubborn

Sad, drowned, a bit misplaced

Broken, damaged

And a bit desperate

Did you like these lyrics?

SONG MEANING

Picture a grey, rain-kissed Sunday morning: soggy leaves, a greasy plate, fried eggs cooling beside an empty pillow. Desesperado drops you right into this domestic still-life and then yanks away the comforter, revealing a sudden absence. Cepeda, one of Spain’s most heartfelt pop storytellers, sings from that raw moment when someone you love chooses to leave during what felt like the perfect instant together.

The track is a confessional spiral of emotions. The narrator flips between heartbreak, hunger, and a slightly comic yet painful obsession—refreshing social media feeds, collecting clues, convincing himself the ex must be unhappy too. Cepeda’s voice captures the push-and-pull of knowing this behavior is unhealthy while feeling powerless to stop. In the end, the song is a candid portrait of how desperation can make even ordinary details (breakfast, weather, online comments) echo with longing, making Desesperado a relatable anthem for anyone who has ever struggled to let go.
