Verse 1

You appeared that night

Or: You showed up that night

With a rose in your hair

I felt it in a second

I fell in love at first

Or. I fell in love at once / I fell in love for the first time

You stayed quiet

Or: You kept quiet

And I told you I love you

And while I fell in love

Or: And as I was falling in love

You said there was a third

Or: You said there was a third party

Prechorus 1

To drown this pain

Or: To drown this grief / sorrow

I'll look for a mermaid

Or: I'll get a mermaid

Imagining those kisses of yours

Because I don't have those kisses of yours

To drown this pain

Or: To drown this grief / sorrow

I'll look for a mermaid

Or: I'll get a mermaid

Imagining those kisses of yours

Because I don't have those kisses of yours

Chorus 1

I'll find you, even if I know well that if there isn't another

I'm going to look for you in another mouth

Or: I will look for you in another kiss

And in the end I'll find you

I'll find you, it'll be your fault if I die

Because I can't touch you anymore

And again I'll lie to myself, I'll find you

Verse 2

I woke up again in another room

Looking for what's left of my heart

I'd like to fall in love with another kiss

Meaning: I'd like to fall in love with someone else's kiss

Get you out of the way and forget you

Today I continue being a slave to the past

Knowing that you're not here by my side

From the moment, baby, that you left

I haven't forgotten you

Chorus 2

I'll find you, even if I know well that if there isn't another

I'm going to look for you in another mouth

And in the end I'll find you

I'll find you, it'll be your fault if I die

Because I can't touch you anymore

Or: Because touching you I can't anymore

And again I'll lie to myself, I'll find you

In a mermaid I'll find you

Verse 3

So many roses withered

The tide has taken so many things

And on the pier I've waited for you

While my soul gets shattered

Or: As my soul is shattered

I think that you will come back

And even if time says no

Or: And although time may say no

I know that if I ever see you again

That it will be love again

Another time

Or: Once again

I know that the sea will bring you back again

And even if you're far from me

Or: And even if you're far away from me

I'll wait for the full moon and while it arrives I

Prechorus 3

To drown this pain

Or: To drown this grief / sorrow

I'll look for a mermaid

Or: I'll get a mermaid

Imagining those kisses of yours

Because I don't have those kisses of yours

To drown this pain

Or: To drown this grief / sorrow

I'll look for a mermaid

Or: I'll get a mermaid

Imagining those kisses of yours

Because I don't have those kisses of yours

Chorus 4

I'll find you, even if I know well that if there isn't another

I'm going to look for you in another mouth

And in the end I'll find you

I'll find you, it'll be your fault if I die

Because I can't touch you anymore

Or: Because touching you I can't anymore

And again I'll lie to myself, I'll find you

In a mermaid I'll find you

sirena — mermaid

Sirena literally translates to "mermaid". It's a captivating and mythical word that immediately sparks curiosity and sets a fantastical tone for the song.

In the lyrics, the singer repeatedly states, "Para ahogar esta pena, buscaré una sirena" (To drown this sorrow, I will look for a mermaid) and "En una sirena te encontraré" (In a mermaid, I will find you). This suggests he's either seeking solace in a mythical escape or metaphorically transforming his lost love into an elusive, enchanting figure, making the word central to the song's emotional core.

This song from Colombian duo Cali Y El Dandee tells a classic story of love at first sight, but with a huge, immediate twist. The singer sees a girl with a rose in her hair and falls for her instantly, telling her, "te dije te quiero" [I told you I love you]. Her response? She stays quiet and then reveals, "que había un tercero" [that there was a third person]. Ouch.

Instead of just moving on, he decides on a very dramatic plan. To drown his sorrow, he sings, "Para ahogar esta pena / Buscaré una sirena" [To drown this pain / I will look for a mermaid]. He's going to search for her in other people, kissing someone else while pretending it's her. He knows he's lying to himself, but he's so stuck on her that he's willing to wait by the sea, convinced that she will eventually come back to him.
