Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Esencial by Beret from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

I have time for everything but not to waste it

Things with value before a mere price

Desire to go to everything but never to go in earnest

Much to give you but always little cash

I now depend on not depending on anything

If you knew how beautiful that it is sometimes to get it right

When you learn that the landscape also has gray clouds

It's the perfect moment to start flying

Don't want it all just to enjoy

You have life and you don't need more

If you ignore everything you'll watch life pass by

Change and your face will change

Chorus 1

I don't know tomorrow na na na na

But if the sun comes out, I tell you with reason

That as for my wings I don't know what will happen

I only live today

That's why I come and go with such desire

I have time but not to waste it

Things with value before a price

Urge to go to everything but to go in earnest

Much to give you but little cash

It's that I have so little and that's the best thing that I have

Because it's little but it's so essential

I have the air that I breathe

Memories on the road

And a friend with whom I can talk

A lighter without its flint

Urge to go party

A thousand reasons to toast

A laugh that slips out

Under the moon, the breeze and the sea

Verse 2

I want to find the way when there's not even a way

So that I can look for it

Verse 2

I want to tell you "I love you" as if a little kid

Had never done it

Verse 2

I want to look over my shoulder with my head held very high

And that there's not even one fear behind

Verse 2

I want to tell myself that I can but that this time it really be true

Chorus 2

So go for it

I don't care that the world already ends

Life is improvised

Chorus 2

That's why I threw the plans away

If sadness is born from that which is known

We will play dumb and throw away the keys

Running isn't advancing so stop

If we step into life it is to tell ourselves today we go out

We need little but with that we're good

Happiness and that the sky clear up

I don't know tomorrow na na na na

But if the sun comes out, I tell you with reason

That as for my wings I don't know what will happen

I only live today

That's why I come and go with such desire

I have time but not to waste it

Things with value before a price

Urge to go to everything but to go in earnest

Much to give you but little cash

It's that I have so little and that's the best thing that I have

Because it's little but it's so essential

I have the air that I breathe

Memories on the road

And a friend with whom I can talk

A lighter without its flint

Urge to go party

A thousand reasons to toast

A laugh that slips out

Under the moon, the breeze and the sea

SONG MEANING

Esencial is Beret’s reminder that the most priceless treasures are often the simplest ones. With playful word-twists and an upbeat groove, he tells us he has time but not to waste, money but not to flaunt, and dreams but only if they feel real. The song paints life as a backpack filled with just the basics: the air we breathe, memories collected on the road, a friend to talk to, and laughter that slips out under the moon. By stripping away the clutter, Beret shouts that these tiny sparks are more than enough to keep us flying.

Instead of worrying about tomorrow, the lyrics urge us to seize the sunlight of today, improvise our own path, and ditch the fear of the unknown. Happiness is portrayed as something wonderfully low-maintenance: a lighter without a flint, the urge to dance, and a thousand reasons to toast. “Esencial” is both a carefree anthem and a philosophical note in your pocket, nudging you to value experiences over price tags, enjoy the ride, and trust that a clear sky is never too far away.
