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.
