Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Akureyri by Aitana from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

Smile at me once more, but it's that I'm capable

Of stretching this night out, stay to sleep

Verse 1

Next to me

Tell me a little about you, I felt your pain

Even if it's hard for you to talk about it, you can tell me

In your green eyes I saw a bit of gray

Chorus 1

Hand me your coat, hug me

I'm not good with the cold nor will I be

But tonight with you I'll find

My bed on your couch

Your arm as a pillow will keep me company

To dream of Akureyri and fantasize

That we have time together left and forget

That tomorrow I wake up and you're not there anymore

It's just you and me

Looking at the sky

Chorus 1

Waiting for an aurora that doesn't come and what does it matter?

If it's you and me

That the sky doesn't shine

It doesn't matter

You light me up much more

And that light will never go away

Verse 2

I looked at you, I looked at you and I thought of you until you reacted

Until you kissed me

A blue lagoon, some pink lips and you

And although it had an ending, in the end it was nobody's fault

Nobody is ever to blame

But I'll miss you

Chorus 2

Hand me your coat, hug me

I'm not good with the cold nor will I be

But tonight with you I'll find

My bed on your couch

Your arm as a pillow will keep me company

To dream of Akureyri and fantasize

That we have time together left and forget

That tomorrow I wake up and you're not there anymore

It's just you and me

Looking at the sky

Chorus 2

Waiting for an aurora that doesn't come and what does it matter?

If it's you and me

That the sky doesn't shine

It doesn't matter

You light me up much more

And that light will never go away

SONG MEANING

Akureyri sweeps listeners into a dreamy, late-night confession where Spanish pop star Aitana and Colombian crooner Sebastián Yatra find shelter from the literal and emotional cold in each other’s arms. Beneath references to green-yet-clouded eyes, borrowed coats, and a sofa turned sanctuary, the song paints Akureyri — the Icelandic town famed for its northern lights — as a magical backdrop for a fleeting romance that feels both healing and heartbreaking. While they wait for an aurora that never quite appears, the pair realize that their own glow is brighter than any sky show, celebrating the power of shared vulnerability, temporary escapes, and the bittersweet beauty of moments that cannot last. 🎇
