300 Noches Lyrics in English by Belinda, Natanael Cano
Amanecíamos is the imperfect tense of the verb amanecer, meaning 'to wake up at dawn' or 'to spend the night until dawn'. It's a beautiful and evocative word that implies intimacy and shared time.
In the song, Belinda sings, "Aún recuerdo cómo lo hacíamos y amanecíamos siempre abrazados" (I still remember how we did it and we always woke up/spent the dawn embraced). This word paints a picture of a deep connection and shared mornings, making it a memorable and enticing word for a learner.
This song is a straight-up breakup anthem where both singers are completely stuck in the past. Belinda kicks it off by saying she waited so long for someone that she didn't even notice when they left her behind. Now, she asks, "¿Ahora qué hago pa' olvidarte?" [Now what do I do to forget you?]. It's been "Trescientas noches" [Three hundred nights], and she's still hung up on what they had, telling him, "No puedes seguir siendo el rey / Sin esta reina a tu lado" [You can't keep being the king / Without this queen by your side].
They look at their situation and see how weird it is that they've become "dos extraños" [two strangers]. The most direct line has to be, "después que me jodiste todavía te extraño" [after you fcked me over I still miss you]. There's no confusion about who's to blame here. She makes it crystal clear: "No fue por mí que no funcionó / Fue por ti que todo se jodió" [It wasn't because of me that it didn't work / It was because of you that everything got fcked up]. Natanael Cano jumps in to agree, singing that he can't be a king without his queen either, showing that they're both miserable but can't seem to fix it.
