Quiero Dormir Cansado Lyrics in English by Ivan Cornejo
Entregues comes from the verb entregar, which literally means "to deliver" or "to hand over". However, in the context of a love song, it takes on a much deeper, more romantic meaning: "to surrender" or "to give oneself completely."
In this song, Ivan Cornejo sings, "Y te entregues en mis brazos" (And you surrender/give yourself into my arms). This isn't just about a physical return; it's a plea for a full emotional and physical giving of oneself, signifying deep longing and devotion. It's a powerful word that conveys vulnerability and trust in love.
This song is about a heartbreak so intense that the only escape seems to be sleep. Ivan Cornejo starts with a simple, relatable idea: "Quiero dormir cansado / Para no pensar en ti" (I want to sleep tired / So I don't think of you). He wants to be so exhausted that his brain finally shuts off. But it gets more extreme. He doesn't just want a good night's rest; he wants to sleep "eternamente" (eternally) because he's in love and feels completely misunderstood.
His solution is to basically check out of reality and live in a dream world. He sings, "Prefiero vivir durmiendo / No quiero vivir llorando" (I prefer to live sleeping / I don't want to live crying). He's decided to wait in this dream state until the person he loves finally understands his feelings and comes back. It's a sad and beautiful fantasy about waiting for someone who might never return.
