Lo Primero Que Haría Lyrics in English Alex Fernández

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Lo Primero Que Haría by Alex Fernández from Spanish to English.
If from the grave I could escape
Being already dead
If from hell I could free myself
Being a condemned man
If from heaven I could come down
Even being a saint
The first thing that I would do without thinking
Would be to wrap you in my arms
And kiss you on the lips
And if from heaven I could bring down
A handful of stars
And could steal from the sea
Its foam and wakes
And could ask the flowers
For their failures without shame
The first thing that I would do, without thinking
Would be to wrap up those jewels
And hand them all to you
The first thing that I would do, without thinking
If I saw you in other arms
I'd ask God to help me heal
What you shattered
Because if jealousy could weigh
Like stones weigh
On the scale mine would weigh
What the rocks weigh
I love you so much that my love weighs
Above everything else
That the first thing that I would do for love
Would be to give you my life
Or tear yours away
The first thing that I would do, without thinking
If I saw you in other arms
I'd ask God to help me heal
What you shattered
Because if jealousy could weigh
Like stones weigh
On the scale mine would weigh
What the rocks weigh
I love you so much that my love weighs
Above everything else
That the first thing that I would do for love
Would be to give you my life
Or tear yours away

SONG MEANING

“Lo Primero Que Haría” is a passionate declaration of love taken to the furthest extremes. The Spanish crooner imagines impossible scenarios—escaping the grave, descending from heaven, stealing stars from the sky—just to prove that his very first impulse would always be to hold and kiss the person he loves. Each fantastical image piles on another layer of devotion, showing that no force, not even death or divine judgment, can weaken the pull he feels.

Yet this love has a darker edge. The lyrics confess that, if he saw his beloved in someone else’s arms, jealousy would weigh on him like boulders. He would beg God to heal the pieces of his shattered heart, because the same absolute love that drives him to give up his life could also push him to take another’s. In short, the song paints love as an overwhelming force—tender and poetic, but also volatile and consuming—making it clear that for this singer, love sits above all things.
