    Hi all,

    One of the things I love about "Alejandro" is that it's open to interpretation. I've heard a lot of people say that they think it's about gay rights and that it reinforces that idea in the video (which I haven't seen.) However, I think this song is about a cheating wife who at one point had a lot of lovers, but now she is either uninterested or fearful of intimacy with any of the named men and is only interested in the unnamed man - the only one she can feel heat with, maybe even thinking he is "the one" like all the others. I posted the lyrics in this post and I made a few notes of my notes (in Italics) to kind of make my point about why I think it's about infidelity.

    Anyway, what do you guys think it's about?



    I know that we are young and I know you may love me
    But I just can't be with you like this anymore, Alejandro

    She's got both hands in her pockets
    And she won't look at you, won't look at you (she’s ashamed)
    She hides true love, en su bolsillo
    She's got a halo around her finger (her wedding ring) around you

    You know that I love you, boy
    Hot like Mexico, rejoice
    At this point I gotta choose
    Nothing to lose

    Don't call my name, don't call my name, Alejandro
    I'm not your babe, I'm not your babe, Fernando
    Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch
    Just smoke one cigarette and hush
    Don't call my name, don't call my name, Roberto
    (Doesn’t want to be intimate with Alejandro, Fernando or Roberto)

    Alejandro, Alejandro
    Ale-Alejandro, Ale-Alejandro
    Alejandro, Alejandro
    Ale-Alejandro, Ale-Alejandro

    Stop please, just let me go (wants to be left alone)
    Alejandro, just let me go

    She's not broken, she's just a baby
    But her boyfriend's like a dad, just like a dad
    And all those flames that burned before him
    Now he's gonna firefight, got cool the bad
    (an experience with a lover who has, at least temporarily, killed her desire)

    You know that I love you, boy
    Hot like Mexico (sexual heat), rejoice (grateful for that desire again)
    At this point I gotta choose
    Nothing to lose
    (these lines are about a fourth, unnamed man, the only she can feel intimate with)

    Don't call my name, don't call my name, Alejandro
    I'm not your babe, I'm not your babe, Fernando
    Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch
    Just smoke one cigarette and hush
    Don't call my name, don't call my name, Roberto

    Alejandro, Alejandro
    Ale-Alejandro, Ale-Alejandro
    Alejandro, Alejandro
    Ale-Alejandro, Ale-Alejandro

    Don't bother me, don't bother me, Alejandro
    Don't call my name, don't call my name, bye Fernando
    I'm not your babe, I'm not your babe, Alejandro
    Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch, Fernando

    Don't call my name, don't call my name, Alejandro
    I'm not your babe, I'm not your babe, Fernando
    Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch
    Just smoke one cigarette and hush
    Don't call my name, don't call my name, Roberto

    Alejandro, Alejandro
    Ale-Alejandro, Ale-Alejandro
    Alejandro, Alejandro
    Ale-Alejandro, Ale-Alejandro

    Don't call my name, don't call my name, Alejandro
    (Alejandro, Alejandro)
    nI'm not your babe, I'm not your babe, Fernado
    (Ale-Alejandro, Ale-Alejandro)
    Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch
    (Alejandro, Alejandro)
    Just smoke one cigarette and hush
    Don't call my name, don't call my name, Roberto
    (Ale-Alejandro, Ale-Alejandro)
    Alejandro
