Verse 1

I want to fly with you

Very high in some place

Or: Somewhere very high

I would like to be with you

Watching the stars over the sea

I want to find another path

Put on my blazer and go for a walk with you

Usually in Spanish, the word 'vestido' means 'dress', usually worn by women. In an interview Manuel explained that in Colombia 'vestido' can also refer to a 'blazer'

I want to tell the world that we're not friends

To tell sadness

To not cross my path

Verse 2

I want to fly with you

Very high in some place

I would like to be with you

Watching the stars over the sea

I want to find another path

Put on my blazer and go for a walk with you

I want to tell the world that we're not friends

To tell sadness

To not cross my path

Chorus 1

Today because I'm going

With all the strength of a submarine

To conquer that lady who plays with me so much

I go through the world alone and without friends

I go around in circles without any sense

But yesterday you changed my destiny

You gave me life

Much more life than wine

You gave me strength on cold days

You gave me the desire to miss you

Or: You made me want to miss you

Without any reason

Or: For no reason at all

Verse 2

I want to find another path

Put on my blazer and go for a walk with you

I want to tell the world

That we are not friends

To tell sadness

Not to cross your path

Not to cross, no

SONG MEANING

Manuel Medrano’s “Bajo El Agua” is a heartfelt pop ode to love that feels so powerful it could quite literally make you soar. Throughout the lyrics, the Colombian singer imagines flying high, strolling beneath starlit skies, and even plunging “with the strength of a submarine” to win over the person who has transformed his world. The repeated wish to volar contigo (fly with you) and the desire to tell the whole world “we’re not just friends” paint a picture of a romance that refuses to stay hidden. Love here is freedom, adventure, and a bold announcement that sadness is no longer welcome on the journey.

At its core, the song celebrates the life-changing spark that another person can ignite. The narrator admits he once wandered aimlessly, “solo y sin amigos,” but everything shifts the moment this special someone appears. She gives him more life than wine, warmth in cold days, and a reason to miss her even when she is near. “Bajo El Agua” turns simple images—stars reflected on the ocean, walking hand in hand, putting on a dress—into symbols of renewal and fearless devotion. It is an uplifting reminder that love can steer you onto a brighter path and encourage you to shout your happiness from the rooftops while leaving sorrow behind.
