Verse 1
It's the wind that whispers in your ear
It's the salt that you breathe in the air
I keep listening to those old vinyl records
That you forgot at the bottom of a drawer
It fills me with unease and melancholy
That you've passed through my life
Leaving me a void between two seas
And I don't know how to explain that without you
Another day goes by without being able to forget you
I wonder why, what became of you, and where you are
And I don't want to think about who else you'll kiss
Chorus 1
Today I've missed you again
Another night awake without being able to have you
And every second I feel the need
To go look for you, to call you and ask
Today you seem different
I can't explain to myself what has changed now
Time shifts on me, and even if I cry alone
When you come back to me make love to me slowly
Sweet and slowly, slowly, slowly
Verse 2
You kissed me in that hallway
You whispered ‘at last’ in my ear
"Good night, rest"
When I turn around, you haven't left
Just twenty-two years
Today you already want to sleep with me
And on leaving that house I stopped to think
That maybe I'd never kiss you again
Chorus 2
Today I've missed you again
Another night awake without being able to have you
And every second I feel the need
To go look for you, to call you and ask
Today you seem different
I can't explain to myself what has changed now
Time shifts on me, and even if I cry alone
When you come back to me make love to me slowly
Sweet and slowly, slowly, slowly

inquietud — unease / restlessness

Inquietud translates to 'unease' or 'restlessness'. It's a powerful word that describes a state of mental agitation, worry, or a lack of calm.

In the song, Ana Mena sings, "Me causa inquietud y melancolía / Que hayas pasado por mi vida" (It causes me unease and melancholy / That you have passed through my life). She uses this word to express the profound disturbance and emotional turmoil left by a past love, making it a compelling and relatable feeling for listeners.

Have you ever been haunted by a memory? Spanish pop star Ana Mena totally gets it in this song. She's surrounded by reminders of someone who's gone, listening to the old vinyl records they left behind—"Que en el fondo de un cajón olvidaste" (That you forgot in the back of a drawer). It's a song full of longing, where she admits she spends her nights awake, missing this person so much she feels the need "De irte a buscar, de llamarte y preguntar" (To go look for you, to call you and ask).

But it's not just about sadness. There's a powerful memory of a first kiss in a hallway, followed by a hopeful fantasy. She imagines them coming back and asks them to "hazme el amor despacio / Dulce y lentamente, lentamente, lentamente" (make love to me slowly / sweetly and slowly, slowly, slowly). It's a mix of melancholy for the past and a very direct wish for the future, all wrapped up in a smooth pop beat.
