Hace Tiempo Lyrics in English by Manuel Medrano
Abrazarte means "to hug you." While "abrazar" (to hug) is a common verb, the infinitive form with the attached pronoun "-te" (you) makes it particularly engaging in this context.
In the song, Manuel Medrano sings, "Para abrazarte y decirte que me quedaré aquí" (To hug you and tell you that I will stay here). This word captures the tender and intimate desire expressed throughout the lyrics, making it a central theme of affection and commitment.
Manuel Medrano's “Hace Tiempo” is a quiet confession that's been rehearsed for a while. He opens with the title line itself, “Hace tiempo que te quería decir” (“I've wanted to tell you for a long time”), then lists small, specific reasons rather than a grand declaration: her hair undoes him, her laugh stops him cold — “Que tu risa me detiene” (“Your laugh stops me”) — and her voice won't let him walk away. By the second verse the details shift from hair to hands, laugh to lips, and the song settles into its real request: to stay by her side for good and become one with her, “Y sentirnos uno” (“And feel like we're one”).
