In the song Lo dejaría todo by Chayanne, what does the lo stand for in this sentence? What does it replace? : Lo dejaría todo porque te quedaras...

It's common in Spanish to say 'dejarlo' - leave it, leave it behind, let it be - where in English we might just name the thing we were leaving behind without adding a direct object. The 'lo' being left behind is 'todo'.

OH... so when he goes on to say 'mi piel también la dejaria' the "la" replaces "mi piel"? I get it now... Thanks! - lydianish1, Dec 21, 2011
