The lights turn on
The door's open
A hug's waiting for me if I stay awake
I keep carrying the mistake from a month ago
But I have a January to start over again
I light a light, a little star in the street
To light up your smile and every detail
And it's that December feels different this time
Nostalgia in the street, a miracle maybe
Now the cold doesn't hurt, it feels so nice
There's room at the table, stay a little while
December feels different this time
Nostalgia in the street, a miracle maybe
Now the cold doesn't hurt, it feels so nice
There's room in the house, stay a little while
Gift exchange
You get what you get
I only ask that I get
The gift of your mouth
I left the TV on
What a shame, from here you can see it all
The scene in NY looks pretty with the snow falling
But there's nothing like Guate in December
And it's that December feels different this time
Nostalgia in the street, a miracle maybe
Now the cold doesn't hurt, it feels so nice
There's room at the table, stay a little while
December feels different this time
Nostalgia in the street, a miracle maybe
Now the cold doesn't hurt, it feels so nice
There's room in the house, stay a little while

SONG MEANING

Diciembre is a cozy, heart-warming postcard from Camila Orantes’ living room. Over soft holiday lights, she admits she is still carrying a mistake from “hace un mes,” yet the season’s glow promises a clean slate in Enero. December becomes a month of redemption: doors stay open, hugs wait for anyone who keeps their eyes open, and even the cold feels “tan rico” when love fills the house.

Camila paints two contrasting scenes—the postcard snow of New York on TV and the irreplaceable warmth of Guate en Diciembre—to remind us that true magic lies where our loved ones gather. Amid gift exchanges, the only present she really wants is “el regalo de tu boca,” highlighting how connection outshines any wrapped box. The song’s nostalgic sweetness mixed with quiet hope makes December feel “diferente esta vez,” inviting listeners to pull up a chair, stay a little while, and let forgiveness and togetherness light the way into the new year.
