Verse 1

To be able

To see the shine in the stars

Verse 1

I had to lose

Fear of darkness up close

Verse 1

And now a new dawn comes

After the storms of yesterday

Chorus 1

I already etched it on my skin

I'll never forget it

Chorus 1

It has cost me so much that sometimes I wanted to disappear

And you're gonna see it

I'll fall again

Chorus 1

But I already found the way and I woke up

I woke up

Verse 2

I got used

To living with sadness

Verse 2

But I could recognize

That this life takes a thousand turns

Verse 2

The same ones that today made me learn

That messing up sometimes is okay

Chorus 2

I already etched it on my skin

I'll never forget

Chorus 2

It has cost me so much that sometimes I wanted to disappear

And you're gonna see it

I'll fall again

Chorus 2

But I already found the way and I woke up

I woke up

Bridge

I won't quit

I don't want

Bridge

I won't leave it and I can

I refuse to leave it and run away

Chorus 3

I already etched it on my skin

I'll never forget it

Chorus 3

It has cost me so much that sometimes I wanted to disappear

And you're gonna see it

I'll fall again

Chorus 3

But I already found the way and I woke up

I woke up

SONG MEANING

🌅 Desperté feels like that first deep breath you take after a long night of storms. With a voice full of light, Miriam Rodríguez sings about stepping out of darkness, trading fear for starlight, and tattooing every hard-won lesson onto her skin. The sunrise she describes is a celebration of resilience: she admits she may stumble again, yet she has finally seen the path ahead and she is wide awake.

🎢 In the verses, the Galician artist reminds us that life spins in a thousand unpredictable turns. Sadness once felt like a roommate, but those same twists taught her that making mistakes is part of the journey. Now she refuses to quit, to vanish, or to run away. The song’s message is clear and uplifting: keep walking, keep learning, and keep waking up to your own strength.
