about

Juancho Herrera's performance of "Déjame Ir" showcases his exceptional talent as a musician and composer, drawing inspiration from the vibrant Venezuelan rhythms of Tonada and Joropo.

However, this song is more than just a captivating musical composition; it addresses a crucial issue that affects millions around the world - the stigma of mental health.

With a powerful and emotive poetic structure, the lyrics of "Déjame Ir" convey a deep sense of empathy and compassion towards those struggling with mental health challenges.

Juancho's impassioned plea for allowing the interlocutor the freedom to make their own decisions regarding their life is both poignant and empowering.

lyrics

Déjame Ir
(Words and music by Juancho Herrera)

La pena indeleble que arrastran los pasos
El tiempo que azora lo mas intimo y preciado
Las ganas que escapan al cuerpo cansado
La fiera armonía del grito y del llanto

Déjame ir
Déjame ir

Inquieto y enorme un sol despuntando
La brisa cansada de tanto chubasco
El sueño se escapa robando milagros
La voz de una turba doliente exhalando

Déjame ir
Déjame ir

El silencio estridente de un mundo atascado
En la sala un perfume de un tiempo olvidado
Cuando ya no se pueda arrastrar con mi canto
Cuando el filo del agua reviente mis labios

Déjame ir
Déjame ir
