Alexa Lyrics in English by Olga Tañón
Deshoja comes from the verb deshojar, which literally means to
Get ready to meet Alexa, a character many of us can relate to! Olga Tañón's song tells the story of a woman who has been deeply hurt by love. The lyrics describe how Alexa's "innocence died" and "malice took it away" ("La inocencia se murió, La maldad se la llevó"). She's been through a lot, with "life leaving marks and sorrows" ("La vida ha dejado huellas y penas") on her.
Alexa tried to protect herself from the pain, looking into her "mirror" ("Con su espejo ella buscó Defenderse del dolor"), but love kept pulling her back in. She's so heartbroken that she "took a ticket to heartbreak" ("Tomó un boleto al desamor") and promised herself she'd "never love anyone again" ("prometió de nuevo no volver a amar Nunca a nadie más"). Olga sings to Alexa, reminding her that "love is something else, not everything is rosy" ("El amor es otra cosa, todo no es color de rosa"). It's a really touching song about friendship and supporting someone through their pain, with the singer offering a shoulder to cry on: "Lean on my shoulder, come cry your sadness" ("Apóyate en mi hombro, ven llora tu tristeza").
