OTRA NOCHE SIN DORMIR Lyrics in English by Mora
Desvela'o is a colloquial, shortened form of "desvelado," meaning 'sleepless' or 'awake.' It perfectly captures the feeling of being up all night, often due to worry or longing.
In the song, the artist sings, "Otra noche sin dormir, desvela'o," emphasizing his restless state as he checks his phone, hoping for a message from a past love. This word is relatable and paints a vivid picture of his emotional turmoil.
Mora's "OTRA NOCHE SIN DORMIR" is a super relatable track about that agonizing feeling of being completely hung up on someone who's playing games. He's literally losing sleep, with his dark circles having "tu nombre y apellido" [your first and last name]. He's checking his phone constantly, even though he knows she hasn't replied, desperate for any word, even if it's a lie: "Porfa dime algo, así sea pa' mentirme" [Please tell me something, even if it's to lie to me].
It's clear he's been hurt deeply, especially when she denied knowing him: "Me dolió más cuando te preguntaron por mí y lo negaste, esa sí que dolió" [It hurt me more when they asked about me and you denied it, that really hurt]. He calls her a "serpiente disfrazá' de loba" [snake disguised as a wolf] because she took everything and gave nothing back. Yet, despite all the reasons to forget her, he's still stuck on the idea of seeing her naked and starting over: "Echar un polvo y comenzar de nuevo" [Have sex and start over]. It's a raw and honest look at the struggle of moving on when desire still holds you captive.
