Pajarito Colibrí Lyrics in English by Natalia Lafourcade

Sollozando means “sobbing” or “weeping softly,” conveying a deep, trembling kind of cry.

It’s an expressive, less-common verb form that instantly paints an emotional image: in the song, the line “Si de amores andas sollozando” speaks to heartbreak so intense it keeps you awake. Its rolling double-L sound and dramatic feeling make it a memorable word to spotlight while learning the lyrics.

Natalia Lafourcade sings this beautiful song directly to a pajarito colibrí (little hummingbird), but the message is for anyone who needs a little push to get going. She tells this little bird, "no tengas miedo de salir" (don't be afraid to go out), because the world is waiting for you to wake up and be happy. It's a song full of encouragement, a gentle voice telling you that even the "noche oscura y misteriosa" (dark and mysterious night) is on your side, dancing just for you.

This song is also a guide for when things get tough. When you feel overwhelmed, like the world is too big and you can't breathe, the advice is to "Pídele al cielo que te haga volar" (Ask the sky to make you fly). If you're crying over a lost love, the answer is to sing your heart out and move on. It's a powerful reminder that you have strength inside you. The song's core promise is simple and comforting: "Todo va a estar bien" (Everything is going to be alright), because after all, "Tú llegaste al mundo para ser feliz" (You came to the world to be happy).
