Verse 1
It's never enough for me
Because I always want more from you
I'd like to make you happier
Today, tomorrow, always, until the end
My heart bursts for your love
And do you think that this is very normal?
You're so used to love
That you don't see it, I've never been like this
If by chance
You see me crying a little bit
It's because I love you
Chorus 1
And you leave, playing with love
All the wandering illusions that let themselves be reached
Or: All the fleeting illusions that you manage to reach
And you won't see that what I offer you is something unconditional
And you leave, playing with love
You get involved at night, in stories that never have an end
You'll get lost in my memories
For making me cry
Verse 2
It's never enough for me
Because I always want more from you
Nothing has changed my feelings
Although you hurt me, I want you here
My heart bursts with pain
How to avoid it fracturing into a thousand?
Or: How to prevent (my heart) from breaking into a thousand (pieces)?
You're so used to love
That you don't see it, I've never been like this
If by chance
You see me crying a little bit
It's because I love you
Chorus 2
And you leave, playing with love
All the wandering illusions that let themselves be reached
Or: All the fleeting illusions that you manage to reach
And you won't see that what I offer you is something unconditional
Unconditional
And you leave, playing with love
You get involved at night, in stories that never have an end
You'll get lost in my memories
For making me cry
You'll get lost in my memories
For making me cry
You'll get lost in my memories
For making me cry

vagabundaswandering

Vagabundas is a beautiful, poetic word that literally means "vagrant" or "roaming", but is used here to mean "wandering". It's a unique and evocative choice that you won't hear in every song.

Natalia Lafourcade sings about "ilusiones vagabundas" ("wandering illusions"), creating a vivid image of the fleeting, superficial attractions her partner chases. This single word perfectly captures the heartbreaking contrast between her deep, unconditional love and his flighty, uncommitted nature.

This song is a fantastic, dramatic declaration of love for someone who just doesn't get it. Natalia Lafourcade sings about being so full of love that it's never enough: "Nunca es suficiente para mí / Porque siempre quiero más de ti" (It's never enough for me / Because I always want more of you). Her heart is literally exploding with love, but the person she's singing to is so used to being adored that they don't even notice. She says, "Acostumbrado estás tanto al amor / Que no lo ves" (You're so used to love / That you don't see it).

She's offering something real and unconditional, but her partner is too busy chasing easy flings. She accuses him directly: "Y tú te vas, jugando a enamorar" (And you go off, playing at falling in love). While he's getting tangled up in meaningless nightly adventures, she's left heartbroken. But she gets the last word with a powerful warning. She tells him he'll regret it, promising, "Te perderás dentro de mis recuerdos / Por haberme hecho llorar" (You will get lost inside my memories / For having made me cry).
