Verse 1
I'm going to swim in an hourglass
That flips all the way over
Again and again
Verse 1
I want to get tangled in this whirlpool
Drink the salt that you see at the bottom of the river
Chorus 1
Why forget why I came here
And waste the best of you
Waiting is part of living
Don't rush the sun, that time slips away from us
And our dreams wrinkle from pain
Don't run anymore, that life is a sea
You'll drown one day or you'll reach port
Don't rush the hours, let them fly
With leaves in the wind
Don't rush the sun and time will run slow
Slow, slow
Verse 2
I'm going to dance, barefoot on the ice
Climb with you to the summit of the sky
Fall at last, fall without fear
Why forget why I came here
And waste the best of you
Waiting is part of living
Chorus 2
Don't rush the sun, that time slips away from us
And our dreams wrinkle from pain
Don't run anymore, that life is a sea
You'll drown one day or you'll reach port
Don't rush the hours, let them fly
With leaves in the wind
Chorus 2
Don't rush the sun and time will run slow
Slow, slow
Outro
Don't rush the sun, that time slips away from us
And our dreams wrinkle from pain
Don't run anymore, that life is a sea
You'll drown one day or you'll reach port
Don't rush the waves, let them fly
With leaves in the wind
Outro
Don't rush the sun and time will run slow
Slow, slow

SONG MEANING

With “Lento,” Spanish superstar David Bisbal invites us to stop sprinting through life and start swimming in it. He slips into an hourglass, dances barefoot on ice, and drinks the salt at a river’s bottom to remind us that every second is worth tasting. The chorus repeats “No apures al sol” — do not hurry the sun — urging the listener to loosen their grip on the clock so dreams do not wrinkle before they bloom.

Bisbal paints life as a vast sea: rush and you might drown, but glide calmly and you will reach safe harbor. Through vivid images of whirlpools, soaring peaks, and fearless falls, the song celebrates patience, presence, and playful risk. “Lento” becomes a call to savor the journey, let the hours sail like leaves in the wind, and trust that time itself will slow down when we do.
