Review

“Me dedique a perderte” is a classic Spanish song by the famous Mexican artist Alejandro Fernández. The song was released in 2004 and is one of the most listened-to Spanish songs on YouTube has more than 400 million views. Alejandro Fernández is son to another famous Mexican singer Vicente Fernández.

The song is simple and there is not too much to say, the video clip tells us the story of a man, possibly a businessman who has realized that he lost the girl he loves thanks to monotony and ignoring her constantly. He describes through the song lyrics how he started to comprehend everything he could do to save the relationship but now is too late.

The message of the song is that you always have to take care of your relationships, try to beat monotony, and never think that everything is all right while minding your own business, ignoring the other person.

In terms of learning, this song is perfect for someone who wants to learn Spanish because the lyrics are extremely easy to understand, even with an automatic translator you will not lose the context of the song. Most of the sentences are similar and it doesn’t have too many sentences. If you are a beginner this song is perfect for practicing simple words and combinations.

If you liked “Me dedique a perderte” we encourage you to check more about Alejandro Fernández on his social media or website. We also recommend you to check “Día de Enero” by Shakira, another great Latin-American artist.
