Verse 1
And if I tell you
That I'm in a place
Where you live among colors
Or: Where one can live between colors
And in a corner, corner
I saw her pass
Full of light and songs
And she told me so
Prechorus 1
Take me well by the hand
Or: Hold my hand tightly
Because I
I'm not going to let it go
Chorus 1
I dance it like this
Like a candle
She taught me to know how to live
It was the first
Or: It was the first time
You changed my life
With that smile
I dance it like this
Like a candle
Sin humo, sin espejos, espejos
Ves más allá de todo
Puedo ver más claro, yo necesitaré
Anillos de boda
En mi mente avivé tu fuego
Muéstrame que sientes lo mismo
A tu lado, Me estoy volviendo loco y voy a
Encender tu llama
Dondequiera que vayas, te sigo
Así que no te sueltes
Porque volaremos tan alto
Chorus 2
I dance it like this
Like a candle
She taught me to know how to live
It was the first
You changed my life
With that smile
I dance it like this
Like a candle
Outro
What happened, what happened
That she lit a candle
What happened, what happened
That she lit a candle

SONG MEANING

Candela is Spanish for flame, and that single word captures the heart of this upbeat dance track. Alvaro Soler and Nico Santos paint a neon-colored scene where the narrator stumbles upon a radiant girl “llena de luz y de canciones” (full of light and songs). The moment she grabs his hand, the ordinary world melts away into a place of pure rhythm and color. Her carefree spirit teaches him cómo saber vivir (how to truly live) while his own imagination jumps ahead to “wedding rings.” The song celebrates that instant spark when two people connect with no smoke or mirrors, only genuine heat that makes them want to dance all night.

Each chorus turns that spark into a blazing dance floor anthem: “Yo lo bailo así, como candela.” The fire she “prendió” (lit) transforms his life, and the music invites listeners to join in—moving, smiling, and surrendering to the beat. With its bilingual lyrics, irresistible hooks, and message of fearless love, Candela burns bright as a reminder that sometimes one smile, one song, and one shared dance can ignite a lifetime of adventure.
