Out
Get out of my house
You are not my friend
That I'm still playing, what does it matter
I keep playing alone
I'm bored
The yard's empty
And the sirens blare
And I keep playing, what does it matter
I keep playing and you always punish me
And I only want that you leave
I only want that it ends
I only want that you leave me, alone
Out
Get out of my house
Let go of my hands
I'm nothing but a kid
With bare feet
And I'm still playing, what does it matter
I keep playing alone
Nothing
There's nothing left now
Only your delirium
Your unbearable noise in the living room
There's nothing left but your ghost
I only want that you leave
I only want that it ends
I only want that you leave me alone
Out
Get out of my house
Let go of my hands
I'm nothing but a kid
With bare feet
And I'm still playing, what does it matter
I keep playing alone
I keep playing, what does it matter
I keep playing alone
Alone
Always, always you punish me
Always, always you punish me

SONG MEANING

El Patio turns a simple playground into an emotional battlefield. Pablo López sings from the perspective of someone who still feels like a barefoot child, begging an unwelcome presence to leave his house, his mind, and his memories. The empty patio, the wailing sirens, and the constant cry of “Fuera” paint a vivid picture of lost innocence. Each time he says he is “still playing”, we sense both his fragility and his stubborn hope to protect that last bit of childhood joy.

At its core the song is a plea for liberation from a toxic force—whether it is a destructive relationship, an addiction, or an inner demon that keeps “punishing” him. López mixes vulnerability with defiance. The noisy ghost must go so the narrator can reclaim silence, safety, and the freedom to play, dream, and grow once more.
