Chorus 1

Today the lights turn off in your name

To see the sky, and you left with the darkness

There's no sun or moon to illuminate you anymore

It amuses you as always

Today the lights turn off in your name

To see the sky, and you left with the darkness

There's no sun or moon to illuminate you anymore

It amuses you as always

Verse 1

I know that you were never everything that you promised

I'm tired of forgiving you, of being the one who's sad

Looking at you hurts me terribly, I can't see colors anymore

If I see you, I ask the sky to forgive you someday

It's too late for you to want to come back

I'm going to have to let you fall

Even if it hurts, what I'm going to do

Your darkness isn't going to drag me down

How much I loved you, you couldn't see

Or: You didn't know how much I loved you

Your idea was always to hurt me

Or: Your intention always was to hurt me

You were thirsty for revenge

And you crossed paths with me

I regret having seen you that time

Because I came to love you, if that love went

I shouted, come back

Because of you, I saw what it's like to cry for a woman

They see me smiling, and I still haven't managed to be okay

Give me light because I only have myself to lose

Chorus 2

Today the lights turn off in your name

To see the sky, and you left with the darkness

There's no sun or moon to illuminate you anymore

It amuses you as always

Today the lights turn off in your name

To see the sky, and you left with the darkness

There's no sun or moon to illuminate you anymore

It amuses you as always

alumbre — illuminate / light up

Alumbre comes from the verb alumbrar, meaning 'to illuminate' or 'to light up'. While 'iluminar' is more common, 'alumbrar' often carries a slightly more poetic or traditional feel, especially when referring to natural light sources like the sun or moon.

In the song, the line "Ya no hay sol ni luna que te alumbre" (There is no sun or moon to light you up anymore) powerfully conveys a sense of abandonment and despair. It's a central theme of the song, highlighting the loss of guidance and warmth, making it a memorable and evocative word.

This song is a seriously dramatic breakup duet. Argentine artists MILO J and Nicki Nicole trade verses about a relationship with someone who is pure darkness. The chorus sets the scene: "Hoy las luces se apagan en tu nombre" (Today the lights go out in your name), and "Ya no hay sol ni luna que te alumbre" (There's no sun or moon to light you up anymore). It's over, and they're saying this person has been plunged into a darkness of their own making, which they seem to enjoy.

Nicki Nicole's verse is all about taking her power back. She's tired of being the sad one and has decided to stop saving this person from themselves, singing "Voy a tener que dejarte caer" (I'm going to have to let you fall). She realizes their goal was always to hurt her. MILO J's verse, on the other hand, shows the lingering pain. He admits his regret and vulnerability with the line "Por vos vi lo que es llorarle a una mujer" (Because of you I saw what it's like to cry for a woman). He feels completely lost, ending his part by pleading, "Dame luz que sólo me queda perderme" (Give me light, because all that's left for me is to get lost).
