Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tiempo by Silvina Moreno from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

I'm going to forget you

I promised myself

I'm going to miss you

But it's better for me

Bridge

Give me a little time

Just a little time

Give me a little time

Just a little time

Uhh uhh

Verse 2

I didn't want to let go

It's years with you

I'll miss you

In sleepless nights

Chorus 1

Give me a little time

Just a little time

Give me a little time

Just a little time

I have to rip you out, from the root

I'm going to forget you, from the root

I have to rip you out, from the root

I'm going to forget you, from the root

Verse 3

And even though I see you everywhere

A haunting shadow of what we could've been

And even though it costs me to leave you, it's like letting go

of a giant so that it can grow

Chorus 2

Give me a little time

Just a little time

Give me a little time

Just a little time

I have to rip you out, from the root

I'm going to forget you, from the root

I have to rip you out, from the root

I'm going to forget you now

SONG MEANING

Tiempo is a heartfelt pop ballad where Mexican singer-songwriter Silvina Moreno turns goodbye into a healing mantra. The lyrics follow someone who knows they must forget a long-term love, yet admits that the process will sting. Repeating requests like “Dame un poco de tiempo” (Give me a little time) echo the real-life need to pause, breathe, and gather strength before moving on.

What makes the song stand out is its vivid imagery. The singer vows to tear the memory out “desde la raíz” (from the root), showing how deeply intertwined this relationship once was. She even compares releasing her partner to letting a giant grow, hinting that sometimes setting love free is the only way both people can reach their full size. Wrapped in gentle guitar lines and airy “uhh uhh” hooks, Tiempo becomes both a sad farewell and an empowering reminder that time, patience, and self-care can transform loss into growth.
