Luis Fonsi, born in Puerto Rico y later grown up in Orlando (Florida) is already a very well known latin pop star since 1998 with hits like Quien te dijo eso, La Fuerza de mi CorazonNada es para siempre or Estoy Perdido.

His seventh studio album Palabras del silencio was released in August 2008 and has sold over 30.000 copies in the US within the first week and was also certified Oro (Gold) and Platinum by the RIAA for over 200.000 sales in the United States.

The first single of the album No Me Doy Por Vencido is Luis Fonsi’s biggest hit to date which reached #92 of the Top 100 Billboard Charts, #1 in the Latin Billboard Charts and #1 in the charts of Puerto Rico. Actually it´s no wonder because it´s a romantic ballad with some mexican influences which won´t get out of your head for some time. Great work by Luis Fonsi.

Lyrics / Letra - No Me Doy Por Vencido - Luis Fonsi

Me quedo callado
Soy como un niño dormido
Que puede despertarse
Con apenas sólo un ruido
Cuando menos te lo esperas
Cuando menos lo imagino
Sé que un día no me aguanto y voy y te miro

Y te lo digo a los gritos
Y te ríes y me tomas por un loco atrevido
Pues no sabes cuanto tiempo en mis sueños has vivido
Ni sospechas cuando te nombré

Yo, yo no me doy por vencido
Yo quiero un mundo contigo
Juro que vale la pena esperar, y esperar y esperar un suspiro
Una señal del destino
No me canso, no me rindo, no me doy por vencido

Tengo una flor de bolsillo,
Marchita de buscar a una mujer que me quiera
Y reciba su perfume hasta traer la primavera
Y me enseñe lo que no aprendí de la vida
Que brilla más cada día,
Porque estoy tan sólo a un paso de ganarme la alegría
Porque el corazón levanta una tormenta enfurecida
Desde aquel momento en que te ví…

Yo, yo no me doy por vencido
Yo quiero un mundo contigo
Juro que vale la pena esperar, y esperar y esperar un suspiro
Una señal del destino
No me canso, no me rindo, no me doy por vencido

Este silencio esconde demasiadas palabras
No me detengo, pase lo que pase seguiré

Yo, yo no me doy por vencido
Yo quiero un mundo contigo
Juro que vale la pena esperar, y esperar y esperar un suspiro
Una señal del destino
No me canso, no me rindo, no me doy por vencido

English Translation - Luis Fonsi - No Me Doy Por Vencido

I stay quiet
I am like a sleeping child
Which can wake up
With only a little noise
When you least expect it
When I least imagine it
I know one day I can´t resist and I go and look at you

And I tell you loudly
And you smile and you take me as a naughty maniac
You don´t know how long you lived in my dreams
Nor you suspect when I called you

I, I don´t surrender
I want a world with you
I swear it’s worth waiting, and waiting and waiting for a sigh
A sign by the destiny
I don’t get tired, I don´t give up, I don´t surrender

I have a pocket flower
Faded in searching for a woman who loves me
And receive it’s perfume until it brings the spring
And it teaches me what I haven´t learned in life
That each day it shines more
Because I am just one step away from gaining happiness
Because the heart raises a furious storm
Since the moment I have seen you

I, I don´t surrender
I want a world with you
I swear it’s worth waiting, and waiting and waiting for a sigh
A sign by the destiny
I don’t get tired, I don´t give up, I don´t surrender

This silence conceals too many words
I don´t detain, whatever happens, I will go on

I, I don´t surrender
I want a world with you
I swear it’s worth waiting, and waiting and waiting for a sigh
A sign by the destiny
I don’t get tired, I don´t give up, I don´t surrender
