Otro Día Más Sin Verte Lyrics in English by Jon Secada
Amarrarte literally means "to tie you up". It's a powerful and dramatic verb that expresses an intense desire to keep a loved one from leaving.
In this passionate ballad, Jon Secada sings "Quiero amarrarte a mí" (I want to tie you to me). He uses this strong visual metaphor to convey his desperation and the feeling that he can't bear to be apart from the one he loves.
This song is pure drama! Cuban artist Jon Secada is not just missing someone, he feels like he physically cannot handle it. He says, "Ya me es imposible soportar / Otro día más sin verte" [It's impossible for me to bear / Another day without seeing you]. He's so desperate to keep his love close that he sings, "Cuando estás en mis brazos / Quiero amarrarte a mí" [When you're in my arms / I want to tie you to me]. It's a very intense way to say "don't go!"
He spends the whole song pleading for a way to fix things. He asks what he can say or do to stop this person from leaving, begging, "dime qué puedo hacer, mi amor" [tell me what I can do, my love]. He's completely exhausted by the separation and demands an explanation, asking for a reason why they have to be apart. It's a powerful pop ballad about feeling like your world will end if you have to spend one more day alone.
