Manos al Aire Lyrics

Lyric discussion by miss_tragedy 

Cover art for Manos al Aire lyrics by Nelly Furtado

The meaning behind the song is about an abusive or neglectful relationship between a couple. The guy is controlling but neglectful, who is easily jealous. He threatens to end the relationship when she wants to talk to him. Although I'm confused with Yo que te he visto crecer meaning she's seen him grow up or grown up with him which could lead us to believe he's her childhood sweetheart. The girl in the relationship declares her love for him even when he treats her the way he does, saying she doesn't want to fight and surrenders to love him in body and soul (even though she wishes they could be like they were before)
