Pasatiempo Lyrics in English by Corina Smith, Alex Rose
Pasatiempo literally translates to "pastime" or "hobby." It's an interesting word because it carries a double meaning in the context of relationships.
In this song, Corina Smith uses it to express her frustration about being treated as a casual fling or a temporary distraction rather than a serious partner. She sings, "No quiero ser tu pasatiempo" (I don't want to be your pastime), highlighting her desire for a deeper, more meaningful connection. This makes the word both relatable and impactful.
Have you ever felt like you're stuck in a cycle with someone who just can't make up their mind about you? That's exactly what Corina Smith and Alex Rose are singing about in "Pasatiempo"! Corina is fed up with being a "pasatiempo" [pastime] for someone who blows hot and cold. She's tired of the excuses and the constant back-and-forth, asking, "no quiero ser tu pasatiempo" [I don't want to be your pastime].
It's a relatable story of wanting honesty and commitment, but instead getting mixed signals. Alex Rose comes in with his perspective, adding to the confusion, making Corina wonder, "quién te entiende?" [who understands you?]. They both seem to be caught in this push-and-pull, where one minute they're together, and the next it's like nothing happened. It's all about that frustrating feeling of being an option, not a priority, and finally deciding enough is enough!
