Manel Navarro won the Spanish national selection Objetivo Eurovisión with his song “Do It For Your Lover”. While an earlier version was released with entirely English lyrics, the version for Eurovision will have Spanish lyrics in the verses and an English chorus.
The song is about getting through the tough times in life by focusing on your lover. In Spanish, Manel sings “Sometimes it’s hard to say everything you’re thinking/Sometimes life causes chaos without you realising.” But he has advice — just keep your sweetie in mind and “do it for your lover.”
Manel offers kindness and support to anyone feeling down. He sings, “Take my hand and don’t close that door/Let the pain and sadness disappear,” then adds, “You will see that it is always worth it.”
The chorus is simple and charming, with the often repeated line, “Do it for your lover, do it for your lover, baby/Clap your hands and do it for your lover.” All up, it’s a reminder that no matter what happens in life, problems are easier to deal with if there’s someone else there by your side.
“Do It For Your Lover” – Manel Navarro
“Do It For Your Lover” lyrics – Manel Navarro (Spain, Eurovision 2017)
A veces cuesta decir todo lo que uno piensa
A veces la vida causa estragos sin que te des cuenta
A veces parece que es como una melodía
Frustrada y perdida no nos deja ver la luz del día
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover, baby
Clap your hands and do it for your lover
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover, baby
Clap your hands and do it for your lover
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover
Do it for those you ever care and love
And love
Coge mi mano no cierres esa puerta
Deja que el dolor y la tristeza desaparezca
Así que pega un grito, sal ahí y vuela
Y verás que por los tuyos siempre vale la pena
Así que…
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover, baby
Clap your hands and do it for your lover
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover, baby
Clap your hands and do it for your lover
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover
Do it for those you ever care and love
And love
Just do it, just do it, just do it for your lover
Just do it, just do it, just do it for your lover
Just do it, just do it, just do it for your lover
Just do it, just do it for your lover
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover, baby
Clap your hands and do it for your lover
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover
Oh no, just do it for your lover
Do it for those you ever care and love
And love
And love
Oh baby, just do it
Oh baby, just do it
La la la la la la la la la
English translation
Sometimes it’s hard to say everything you’re thinking
Sometimes life causes chaos without you realising
Sometimes it seems like a melody
Frustrated and lost, it does not let us see the light of day
(Chorus)
Take my hand and don’t close that door
Let the pain and sadness disappear
So shout, get out there and fly
And you will see that it is always worth it
So…
(Chorus)
