Cristal Lyrics in English Belén Aguilera

Home / Lyrics Translation / Belén Aguilera / Cristal

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cristal by Belén Aguilera from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

I've a knot in my throat

Little by little it gets bigger

And I've been quiet so long

No, no

I don't even know what I feel anymore

Chorus 1

I never listen to you and I haven't known

how to heed you in time

Chorus 1

I've gone out without a coat

I thought that it wasn't windy

Chorus 1

And now I've no air left

to breathe with

Chorus 1

I look for myself in every question

And I can't manage to answer

Chorus 1

I don't understand who I was before

during the storm

Chorus 1

If now that calm comes

I feel like glass

Verse 2

I've a fear of dying that kills me

I've an eye always open

in case it attacks

Chorus 2

I always fight you and I haven't known

how to face you in time

Chorus 2

I know that you warn me of the cold

I know that you scream inside me

Chorus 2

And now I've no air left

to breathe with

Chorus 2

I look for myself in every question

And I don't know how to answer myself

Chorus 2

I don't understand who I was before

during the storm

Chorus 2

If now that calm comes

I feel like glass

Outro

And I've no air left

to breathe with

Outro

I look for myself in every heartbeat

I drown in my city

Outro

I don't understand what this is about

If it's some sign

Outro

If now that calm comes

I feel like glass

If now that calm comes

I feel like glass

SONG MEANING

Cristal invites us into Belén Aguilera’s inner monologue, where anxiety tangles her throat and every breath feels borrowed. She sings about ignoring her own warning signs, stepping into life without an emotional coat, and suddenly realizing the storm has left her gasping for air. The repeated image of having “no air” spotlights that choking panic we feel when we keep quiet for too long. Now that the chaos is settling, she discovers a new kind of vulnerability: she feels as delicate as glass.

Yet the song isn’t just a confession of weakness. It’s a candid exploration of what happens after the tempest, when self-reflection takes center stage. Aguilera wrestles with questions of identity, fear of death, and the search for answers inside every heartbeat. Cristal reminds us that admitting fragility can be the first sparkle of strength, turning transparent moments into mirrors for self-discovery.
