I started over
I grabbed my suitcases and I went to the sea
For nothing
For nothing
The mermaids were watching me swim
But the mermen wouldn't let them go out
With me
To the surface
Because I was a dangerous guy
A fool
A damn ruthless man
A demon
That could breathe outside and inside the sea
Charged with positive energy
That only knew how to swim, yeah-yeah
Against the tide
That ran out of air, out of water, out of time
Without her
That taught me to ask forgiveness
For my sins
I went crazy
I looked like a fish in the sea
All wet
All wet
That could breathe outside and inside the sea
Charged with positive energy
That only knew how to swim, yeah-yeah
Against the tide
That ran out of air, out of water, out of time
Without her
That taught me to ask forgiveness, yeah-yeah
For my sins
You made me talk with God, God, God
What did I do?
I lost the love
That she had for me

SONG MEANING

Mojado paints the picture of a restless soul who grabs his suitcase and dives, quite literally, into the sea in search of a fresh start. Surrounded by mythical sirens and guarded tritons, the narrator becomes a curious hybrid: a man-fish who can breathe “afuera y adentro del mar”. This super-powerful image highlights his determination to live outside the rules, swim against the current, and carry nothing but “energía positiva.” Yet, the ocean also exposes his flaws. Branded dangerous, foolish and merciless, he realizes that breaking free from land does not free him from himself.

As the waves crash, so do his certainties. Running out of air, water and time, he understands that what truly sustained him was the love he left behind. The song’s chorus echoes both his resilience and his regret, turning “todo mojado” into a metaphor for being soaked in emotion, guilt and longing. By the end, the sea has washed away his bravado, leaving him face to face with God and begging forgiveness. Manuel Medrano uses this aquatic adventure to remind us that self-discovery often starts when we dare to leave, but it finds its depth when we admit what we have lost along the way.
