Déjame Ser Lyrics in English Manuel Carrasco

Home / Lyrics Translation / Manuel Carrasco / Déjame Ser

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Déjame Ser by Manuel Carrasco from Spanish to English.

And it may be that you don't feel like talking about it with me

And it may be that I even want to hide behind the words

We play at loving each other with fire, skirting the abyss

And we are much more than the poison of this love that saves us

What is it that you have that I never knew how to decipher

What is it that you want, I like your crazy way of loving

Let me be a song

Let me be in freedom

Let me be a white flag

So that I surrender in your truth

Let me be your voice

Let me be your captain

Let me be the cross on the map

Where you can return

If you're going to ask me again, believe the answer

If you're going to shoot me with ice, let me take cover

You break me and lift me suddenly with a kiss in the bonfire

If you look me in the eyes again, you'll see how it burns me

What is it that you have that nobody knew how to decipher

What is it that you want, you invade me, I name you in every sigh

Every sigh

Let me be a song

Let me be in freedom

Let me be a white flag

So that I surrender in your truth

Let me be your voice

Let me be your captain

Let me be the cross on the map

Where you can return

You, the reckless scoundrel who knows how to convince me

We are different but our instinct manages to entangle us

With you I always prefer to lose

In order to win your smile afterward

Let me be your voice

Let me be your captain

Let me be the cross on the map

Where you can return

And get mad at me as much as you want

Drag me into danger whenever you prefer

I can handle the tenderness that you want to give me

But never deny me your wink when you pass

I want, I want conflict but give me war

I prefer to be with you but in my own way

Have the gunpowder ready, keep it prepared

You dynamite your body that's about to explode

Let me be a song

Let me be in freedom

And you my destiny, my course, my port

And your mouth where I shipwreck

Let me be your voice

Let me be your captain

Let me be the cross on the map

Where you can return

SONG MEANING

“Déjame Ser” is a passionate plea wrapped in poetry. Manuel Carrasco sings from the heart of a relationship that burns bright with both tenderness and conflict. He asks his partner to let him be everything—from a simple song and a safe harbor to the white flag of surrender—so that their love can breathe in freedom. The lyrics dance between vulnerability and boldness: one moment he confesses that her kiss lifts him from the ashes, the next he welcomes the storm of disagreement because it keeps their connection thrillingly alive.

Carrasco paints love as an adventurous voyage where two very different people keep choosing each other despite the risks. He loves her wild spirit, accepts the danger of her icy words, and revels in the sparks that fly when their instincts collide. In the end he just wants to be the place she always comes back to, the guiding mark on her map, proving that true intimacy can hold both conflict and surrender—if we are brave enough to let it.
