Esta Noche Lyrics in English by Christian Nodal, Sebastian Yatra

Home / Lyrics translation / Christian Nodal / Esta Noche

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Esta Noche by Christian Nodal from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

Lately I've been remembering you

Thinking about those times of yesterday

And I know that it's insane, it doesn't do any good

To the heart

Verse 1

Between bottles and cigarettes I lost

The hope that one day you're gonna come back

I've heard comments that you're doing great

Without my love

Chorus 1

And tonight I'm going out to forget

Or if not, just to find you

And that the magic happens again

Or if not, just to get drunk

Either one will serve me

After all, I lose nothing by trying

And tonight I'm going out to forget

Or if not, to get you back

If you deny me the chance

I'll take the chance to get drunk

Both are a good excuse in the end

Just so I don't stay here thinking

Who you're with

Chorus 2

And tonight I'm going out to forget

Or if not, just to find you

And that the magic happens again

Or if not, just to get drunk

Either one will serve me

After all, I lose nothing by trying

And tonight I'm going out to forget

Or if not, to get you back

If you deny me the chance

I'll take the chance to get drunk

Both are a good excuse in the end

Just so I don't stay here thinking

Who you're with

Did you like this lyrics translation?

recuperarte — to get you back / to recover you

Recuperarte means "to get you back" or "to recover you" in Spanish, a powerful and emotionally charged word that goes beyond a simple request, carrying real urgency and longing.

In the song, "O si no para recuperarte" ("Or if not, to get you back") reveals that getting this person back is the singer's last and most important goal, the one thing worth fighting for above everything else.

Esta Noche is the soundtrack of a broken heart that refuses to stay indoors. Christian Nodal and Sebastián Yatra sing from the perspective of someone caught between nostalgia and hope: memories of happier days keep flooding in, yet rumors say the ex-lover is doing just fine without him. Feeling trapped, he grabs bottles and cigarettes, deciding that a night out is his best escape route.

The plan is simple but bittersweet. He’ll hit the town for one of two reasons: 1) forget her, or 2) find her and revive their spark. Either way, alcohol provides cover for his aching heart while giving him the courage to face whatever the night delivers. The chorus repeats this dilemma like a mantra, showing how love and heartbreak can share the same dance floor. In the end, the song captures that relatable moment when we’d rather chase neon lights than stay home picturing the person we miss with somebody else.
