¿Cómo Pagarte? Lyrics in English Carlos Rivera

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song ¿Cómo Pagarte? by Carlos Rivera from Spanish to English.
Who are you?
Verse 1
I searched so much
How much I found
I lost so much
How much I gained
So many loves and heartaches didn't do me good
Leaving my soul empty
You come to me
To heal me, to teach me how to live
You take away my fears, you only care about making me happy
Like nobody ever did
How am I to pay you for loving me so much?
Sorry
I'd like to pull down the stars
To give you one of them
That shines in your nights and dawns
Sorry
I don't know if life will be enough for me
To always be the warmth that soothes your cold hands
And always watch over your smile
So much kindness
How much truth
So many hugs were my peace
You paint the sky, you're time, the storm
That came to change my drought
And how am I to pay you for loving me so much?
Sorry
I'd like to pull down the stars
To give you one of them
That shines in your nights and dawns
Sorry
I don't know if life will be enough for me
To always be the warmth that soothes your cold hands
And always watch over your smile
How am I to pay you?
Sorry
I'd like to pull down the stars
To give you one of them
That shines in your nights and dawns
Sorry
I don't know if life will be enough for me
To always be the warmth that soothes your cold hands
And always watch over your smile
And always watch over your smile

SONG MEANING

¿Cómo Pagarte? is Carlos Rivera’s heartfelt thank-you note set to music. After wandering through a maze of amores y desamores, the singer finally meets someone who heals the emptiness in his soul and replaces fear with joy. Over sweeping melodies, he marvels at this partner’s kindness—“Llegas a mí para sanarme… quitás mis miedos”—and feels overwhelmed by the urge to give something equally magnificent in return, even dreaming of plucking a star from the sky as a gift.

At its core, the song is a celebration of transformative love and deep gratitude. Rivera asks again and again, “¿Cómo he de pagarte por tanto amarme?”, admitting that no earthly gesture seems large enough. His repeated “Perdón” is not an apology for wrongdoing, but a humble acknowledgment that a lifetime may be too short to repay such boundless affection. The track invites listeners to reflect on their own cherished relationships and the beautiful impossibility of fully repaying true love.
