I came to think of you, but nothing important
I gave you a spot somewhere, and now I can't find you
I don't know if it was you or if it was me again
It happened without me noticing, and I don't know how it happened
And now I feel like looking for you
Because I don't know if I can stand having to miss you
I sing here
Don't pay attention to me
That I'll end up forgetting you
Step by step
I'll keep letting you go
I don't know how I wasn't expecting something like this
If while being close everything drifted away
Sometimes the wind brought us back
Like an injection that numbs you
The wound comes undone and oozes on me
But I decorate it with paint
And while your memory melts
I feel that there's something in me that repeats you
I thought you were always going to keep me company
But you have your life and I have mine
And even though what I'm telling you was never important
Stay this little while so I can sing to you
I sing here
Don't pay attention to me
That I'll end up forgetting you
Step by step
I'll keep letting you go

adormece — numbs / lulls to sleep

Adormece comes from the verb adormecer, meaning to numb or to lull to sleep. It's a less common word than simply saying 'sleep' and carries a more poetic and evocative nuance.

In the song, iLe sings, "Como cual inyección que te adormece" (Like an injection that numbs you). This imagery beautifully conveys how certain experiences or feelings can subtly dull the senses or make one oblivious, much like a sedative. It's a powerful metaphor that adds depth to the lyrics.

iLe opens by admitting she still can't explain what happened. She gave someone "un lugar" in her life and now she can't find them there anymore, and somewhere along the way the hurt turned physical: "La herida se descose y me supura Pero yo la decoro con pintura" ["The wound comes undone and oozes on me, but I decorate it with paint"].

The chorus is where the trick stops working. "Canto aquí No me hagas caso Que te iré olvidando Paso a paso" ["I sing here, don't pay attention to me, that I'll end up forgetting you, step by step"]. She's narrating her own forgetting out loud, as if saying it slowly enough will make it happen.
