5 Pa Las 12 Lyrics in English Camilo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song 5 Pa Las 12 by Camilo from Spanish to English.
The church bells are ringing
Announcing that the old year is leaving
The joy of the new year is coming now
Hugs mix nonstop
Chorus 1
It's five to twelve, the year is going to end
I'm running home to hug my mom
It's five to twelve, the year is going to end
I'm running home to hug my mom
That the year is going to end
It's leaving, it's leaving, it's leaving, it's leaving, it's gone
Verse 1
Forgive me that I'm leaving the party
But there's something that I'll never be able to leave
A pretty little old lady that waits for me
On the nights of an eternal Christmas
Chorus 2
It's five to twelve, the year is going to end
I'm running home to hug my mom
It's five to twelve, the year is going to end
I'm running home to hug my mom
The church bells are ringing
Announcing that the old year is leaving
The joy of the new year is coming now
Hugs mix nonstop
Chorus 3
It's five to twelve, the year is going to end
I'm running home to hug my mom
It's five to twelve, the year is going to end
I'm running home to hug my mom

SONG MEANING

Ring, ring, ring – the church bells echo through the night, letting everyone know there are only five minutes left until midnight. Camilo paints the scene of New Year’s Eve in Latin America: fireworks crackle, friends celebrate, yet his heart pulls him away from the party and straight toward home. Why? Because nothing feels more important than wrapping his arms around the woman who gave him life: his mamá.

With joyful urgency, the song captures a mix of festive excitement and tender nostalgia. Camilo revives a beloved holiday classic and turns it into a warm tribute to family, tradition, and gratitude. In those last precious seconds of the year, the singer reminds us that the loudest celebration is not in the streets but in a mother’s embrace, sending listeners sprinting—at least in their imagination—back to the place where love began.
