I don't know what I'm gonna do to survive
If you're no longer by my side
I'd like to rewind my life to yesterday
But this reality has denied me that
It seems you care about my crying
It's that you never entered my room
To see how I'm going crazy
That I don't sleep and I wake calling your name
I'd like to stop time
And go back with you to that summer
To hear your voice telling me
'Love, love, how much I love you'
I'd like to stop the hours
But the clock of time is relentless
Its motto 'Always forward'
Whoever stays behind, let them put up with it
I don't know what to invent to quit wandering
Full of nothing and sadness
With my soul in my feet, with that aftertaste of yesterday
From the root to the head
But living without you is impossible
Never having been born would've been preferable
But having met you
Was a punishment in my life, bad luck
I'd like to stop time
And go back with you to that summer
To hear your voice telling me
'Love, love, how much I love you'
I'd like to stop the hours
But the clock of time is relentless
Its motto 'Always forward'
Whoever stays behind, let them put up with it

SONG MEANING

“Quisiera Detener El Tiempo” by Mexican singer Neton Vega is a soulful plea to pause the relentless clock and rewind to a sun-soaked summer when love felt eternal. Sleepless nights, empty rooms, and a heart full of “nada y tristeza” reveal a narrator who cannot imagine life without the voice that once whispered "Amor, amor, cuánto te amo". Every line drips with nostalgia as he pictures himself pressing the rewind button on life, desperate to relive the moment before everything slipped away.

Under its catchy regional Mexican sound, the song tackles a universal fear: time moves only forward, and whoever falls behind must endure the ache. Neton’s lyrics swing between raw vulnerability and poetic bitterness, admitting that meeting this love felt like both destiny and punishment. The result is a bittersweet anthem that makes listeners sway, reminisce, and wonder what they would give to stop the clock for just one more embrace.
