The moment's come, babe
From the soul, to speak without lies
I waited a long time to see if
you'd change, and you don't even look at me
At first you said that once
the January snows came
we'd go see the Virgin and then
getting married would be the first thing
The January snows are already gone
and the May flowers have arrived
You see, I've held out like a man
and I keep my bitter pain to myself
The flowers are already gone and
winter came and you don't even look at me
That's why I tell you the moment's come
the time to talk without lies
At first you said that once
the January snows came
To go see the Virgin and then the
wedding would be the first thing
I can't stand your lies anymore
This wait is tearing me apart
Seeing that the years have gone by
and I don't plan to die waiting
The January snows are already gone
The May flowers have already arrived
You see, I've held out like a man
and I keep my bitter pain to myself

SONG MEANING

Nieves de Enero tells the heartfelt story of a man who finally sits down with his chatita (sweetheart) to speak the truth he has been swallowing for years. He reminds her of an old promise: when the January snows arrived, they would visit the Virgin and then marry. Seasons whirl by in the lyrics—snowy January, flower-filled May, the cold return of winter—yet she still ni me miras (won’t even look at me). Each change in weather marks another broken promise, and the singer’s patience, wrapped in a macho façade, is wearing thin.

Behind its catchy ranchera melody, the song explores themes of unfulfilled love, cultural traditions, and the stoic pride often expected of Mexican men. Visiting the Virgin of Guadalupe reflects a deep religious devotion, while references to macho endurance show how emotional pain is often hidden. By the final verse, years have slipped away, and the narrator refuses to waste another moment waiting. The track becomes a bittersweet anthem for anyone who has waited too long for a love that never blossoms.
