Promise – Lyrics Meaning in English – Romeo Santos Ft. Usher

This song is about being in love with a person, but at the same time being afraid of losing them. The singer asks his lover to promise that she won’t ever abandon him because she’s his everything and he can’t imagine life without her.  

Singer: Romeo Santos   

He perdido el balance por tu amor 
En tus manos yo caí, tienes control sobre mí 
Tu cuerpo es la cárcel y yo un prisionero 
Y jamás quiero salir, condenado y soy feliz 

I’ve lost the balance for your love 
In your hands I fell, you have control over me 
Your body is the prison and I’m a prisoner  
And I never want to leave, convicted and I’m happy 

Try to keep my balance but I still fall 
But how’d I fall so hard? 
Right into your arms, I swear girl 
Wrapped inside you, baby, and it’s so warm, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Love without a cause 
Leaves me trapped inside my own bars 

Quiero ser tuyo, enterito, pero tengo miedo 
Prométeme que no me vas a dejar sin tu amor 
(Talk to her Usher) 

I want to be yours, entirely, but I’m scared 
Promise me you won’t leave me without your love 
(Talk to her Usher) 

I’ll give you my heart, girl, but you’ve gotta promise 
Prométeme, mami 
Promise you’ll hold me (Hold me) 
Touch me (Touch me) 
Love me 
Way past forever 

I’ll give you my heart, girl, but you’ve gotta promise 
Promise me, mami 
Promise you’ll hold me (Hold me) 
Touch me (Touch me) 
Love me 
Way past forever 

Hasta siempre 
Escucha las palabras de Romeo 
Yeah, man 
Usher, baby 
Romeo 

Till forever 
Listen to Romeo’s words 
Yeah, man 
Usher, baby 
Romeo 

Yo tan joven padezco del corazón 
Y por tu amor sufriría mil años y con mucho honor 
Don’t doubt it baby 
Trying to be calm but my chest keeps pounding 
Try to swim but it’s like I’m drowning 
All I’ve got for you, love 
Oh baby 

I so young suffer from the heart 
And for your love I would suffer a thousand years and with a lot of honour 
Don’t doubt it baby 
Trying to be calm but my chest keeps pounding 
Try to swim but it’s like I’m drowning 
All I’ve got for you, love 
Oh baby 

Quiero ser tuyo enterito pero tengo miedo 
Prométeme que no me vas a dejar sin tu amor 
(Usher) 

I want to be yours entirely but I’m scared 
Promise me you won’t leave me without your love 
(Usher) 

I’ll give you my heart, girl, but you’ve gotta promise 
Prométeme, mami 
Promise you’ll hold me (Hold me) 
Touch me (Touch me) 
Love me 
Way past forever 

I’ll give you my heart, girl, but you’ve gotta promise 
Promise me, mami 
Promise you’ll hold me (Hold me) 
Touch me (Touch me) 
Love me 
Way past forever 

You need this in your life 
Yeah, man 
Two kings 
Revolutionary 
Hey yo Romeo, talk to her (Hey) 

Temo que me dejes en el abandono 
Y tú eres mi oxígeno y mi todo 
But I realize that it’s worth running the race 
When the finish line is you 

I’m scared you’ll abandon me 
You’re my oxygen and everything 
But I realize that it’s worth running the race 
When the finish line is you 

Quiero ser tuyo, enterito, pero tengo miedo 
Prométeme que no me vas a dejar sin tu amor 

I want to be yours entirely but I’m scared 
Promise me you won’t leave me without your love 

If I give you my heart, girl, you’ve gotta promise 
(Promise that you’ll love me, baby) 
Promise you’ll hold me 
Touch me (Touch me) 
Love me 
Way past forever 

I’ll give you my heart, girl, but you’ve gotta promise 
Promise me, mami 
Promise you’ll hold me (Hold me) 
Touch me (Touch me) 
Love me 
Way past forever 

Quiero ser tuyo, enterito, pero tengo miedo 
(Turn the lights off) 
Prométeme que no me vas a dejar sin tu amor 

I want to be yours entirely but I’m scared 
(Turn the lights off) 
Promise me you won’t leave me without your love
