Puebla Lyrics in English Alvaro Soler

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Puebla by Alvaro Soler from Spanish to English.
Chorus 1
In Puebla they dance like this
They lose themselves in the moment
To the rhythm they say that yes
They like the movement
Everyone starts to look
Little by little and more and more
In Puebla they dance like this
They lose themselves in the moment
Verse 1
Once I saw her
Strolling in the street
Without knowing what to say
I began to dance
And I ask you for forgiveness
I'm of few words
But much better
I'm gonna show you how to live with little
Chorus 2
How to catch butterflies
With a sea of colors I want to paint you
With a sea of colors I want to paint you
In Puebla they dance like this
They lose themselves in the moment
To the rhythm they say that yes
They like the movement
Everyone starts to look
Little by little and more and more
In Puebla they dance like this
They lose themselves in the moment
Verse 2
It saddens me to know
There are people that don't dance
But, what am I going to do?
Well I'm gonna show you how to live with little
Chorus 3
How to catch butterflies
With a sea of colors I want to paint you
With a sea of colors I want to paint you
In Puebla they dance like this
They lose themselves in the moment
To the rhythm they say that yes
They like the movement
Everyone starts to look
Little by little and more and more
In Puebla they dance like this
They lose themselves in the moment
They lose themselves in the moment
They lose themselves in the moment
Bridge
With the rhythm and the voice
With the claps and the love
With the rhythm and the voice
With the claps and the love
With the rhythm and the voice
With the claps and the love
With the rhythm and the voice
We forget the pain
Chorus 4
In Puebla they dance like this
They lose themselves in the moment
To the rhythm they say that yes
They like the movement
Everyone starts to look
Little by little and more and more
In Puebla they dance like this
They lose themselves in the moment
They lose themselves in the moment
They like the movement
Everyone starts to look
Little by little and more and more
In Puebla they dance like this
They lose themselves in the moment

SONG MEANING

Welcome to the vibrant streets of Puebla, where Alvaro Soler turns an ordinary day into an unstoppable block party! From the very first beat, the song paints a picture of locals who “se pierden en el momento”—they lose themselves in the moment—answering the rhythm with a joyful “sí.” Soler spots a girl strolling by, and instead of stumbling over words, he lets his feet do the talking. The contagious groove pulls everyone in, proving that in Puebla all it takes to connect is a little movement, some clapping hands, and a heart full of color.

But the song is more than just a dance invitation; it is a lesson in simple happiness. Soler promises to show us “cómo vivir con poca cosa” (how to live with very little) and “cómo cazar mariposas” (how to catch butterflies), reminding us that life’s magic hides in everyday moments. With each chorus he layers bright imagery—“un mar de colores”—over the beat, urging even the shy onlookers to join. By the end, pain is forgotten, smiles are shared, and the whole town sways as one. Puebla is a musical postcard that celebrates living lightly, loving boldly, and dancing like no one is watching.
