RETRICA Lyrics English Translation by Lucho RK
Today I woke up wanting to see you walk in (Eh, yeah)
Through my front door, sure, come in, we gotta talk
I know for you a coffee and toast with oil and salt
Like how could I not remember it, mami, so many nights of mezcal
That you woke up with me later, by my side ain’t for being sad (Yah, yah)
Happy that it happened, and that’s what we gotta stick with
Even though it’s been a thousand nights that I think of you and light a candle
Mami, I don’t know what to say anymore if my grandma asks about you
Mami, it’s been a thousand days that I see your magnet on the fridge
I’ve thought about taking it off, ha, of course I would if I could
Mami, I was your fan before using Retrica
I loved the “Plákito” one without it giving any backtalk
Shoutout to your mom, she’ll always be my mother-in-law
I hope you enjoyed your past
‘Cause after me there won’t be anyone else, nah
Baby, I haven’t forgotten you ever
Even though with this I know you’re more at peace, mami
I’m even less gonna forget
If I’m here, filling up all the notes on my phone
I ran out of paper in my pen
The neighbors complain about the noise, but I don’t care
How nice it is to see you in the videos
How nice it is to see you happy
How nice it is to see you with me, oh
How nice it is to see you without me
Even though it’s been a thousand nights that I think of you and light a candle
Mami, I don’t know what to say anymore if my grandma asks about you
Mami, it’s been a thousand days that I see your magnet on the fridge
I’ve thought about taking it off, ha, of course I would if I could
I bought a Rolex for Valentine’s (Yeah)
You say there’s no time for you anymore
But I don’t listen, mami, I’m a spoiled one
With a good memory, but not resentful
I got attached to the stone, I tripped again, tripped, tripped
I want your friends to find out
Twenty bottles at the club for you
It’s a thousand men, it’s a thousand women
We both know what makes you happy
Let’s see, or not?
Or not? I don’t know
There are times I can get confused, and I’m an idiot and I don’t even notice, but
I stick with what we lived, you know
Even though it’s been a thousand nights that I think of you and light a candle
Mami, I don’t know what to say anymore if my grandma asks about you
Mami, it’s been a thousand days that I see your magnet on the fridge
I’ve thought about taking it off, ha, of course I would if I could
