Vale Garzon’s “5 minutos” mostly features singing and acoustic guitar; the quietness of the song is mirrored in the nighttime setting for most of the video. The couples in the video carress each other in warm, soft lighting indoors, and dance in the streetlights outdoors.
The lyrics describe the narrator needing to take a moment (five minutes) to herself before diving into a relationship with the person she’s fallen in love with, but the video follows women that seem to already be in thriving relationships. Put together, the impression you get is that of love in which partners wait for each other, give each other space, and help each other heal. I find both the song and video lovely!
Here are the lyrics in English:
I can't believe that this is real
how I listen to you wordlessly
how I like so much of what you say
I can’t tell if it feels good or scary
My spaces fit your pieces
I want to be your puzzleBut wait, I have to explain
I'm not ready for what I might beGive me 5 minutes to know
what's going on with me
Give me 5 minutes to heal
what has hurt me
I dream of you
but I’m not ready to love
Give me 5 minutes because
I want time with myselfIt's not your fault you arrived
at the wrong time, because
my head is a mess
If you wait I promise it will be worth it
I’ll give you a flower each minute you wait
But let me think a little more
I need to give myself time to love
Give me 5 minutes to know
what's going on with me
Give me 5 minutes to heal
what has hurt me
I dream of you
but I’m not ready to love
Give me 5 minutes because
I want time with myself
Give me 5 minutes because
I want everything with you
I sadly couldn’t find any articles about Garzon. It seems she’s mostly an influencer and only sometimes posts music, but I hope she’ll be leaning more into her music career in the future!
