Sálvame Lyrics in English by RBD
Hastío is a powerful, poetic word that translates to "weariness" or "ennui". It goes beyond simple sadness or boredom to describe a deep, soul-crushing exhaustion with life.
In the song, the plea "Sálvame del hastío" (Save me from the weariness) reveals the true depth of the singer's despair. They are not just lonely; they are so emotionally drained by the absence of their love that life itself has lost its color and meaning, making this a truly memorable word to learn.
This is one of the most dramatic breakup anthems you'll ever hear. The singer isn't just sad, they are completely falling apart after someone has left. The song opens by saying, "Extrañarte es mi necesidad" (Missing you is my need), which tells you everything. It's not a want, it's a physical requirement. They describe their life now as just surviving on anxiety, saying they live with a "nudo en la garganta" (lump in your throat), unable to stop thinking about the person who is gone.
The chorus is a desperate scream for help. The singer begs their ex to "Sálvame del olvido" (Save me from being forgotten) and "Sálvame de la soledad" (Save me from loneliness). They feel like they're losing all hope and even their ability to speak, as their heart is "perdiendo la fe / Perdiendo la voz" (losing faith / losing its voice). The most intense line might be "Que estoy hecho a tu voluntad" (Because I am made to your will), showing just how much they feel their entire existence depends on this other person. It's a powerful and emotional plea not to be abandoned in the darkness.
