Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Poquito A Poco by Christian Nodal from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

I think of you and it hurts inside me

Stronger this feeling that I can't contain

And of course doubts come to me

My accomplices in the madness are a cigarette and a coffee

There's a question in my mind

I don't know if it's frequent for you too

That thinking of me before sleeping

Chorus 1

What path will your steps light?

And what would have become of the two of us?

We lacked maturity, what do I know

Who will your eyes light up?

Since when is it that I know nothing about you

But I know that it's better if it's like this

You can't always find peace

In the one that drives you crazy

And I'm gonna understand it little by little

What path will your steps light?

And what would have become of the two of us?

We lacked maturity, what do I know

Who will your eyes light up?

Since when is it that I know nothing about you

But I know that it's better if it's like this

You can't always find peace

In the one that drives you crazy

And I'm gonna understand it little by little

Outro

Little by little

SONG MEANING

“Poquito A Poco” invites listeners into the quiet, late-night moments that follow a breakup, when a haze of coffee steam and cigarette smoke makes memories feel both close and distant. Christian Nodal sings from the heart of someone who still wonders, “¿A quién iluminarán tus ojos?” His mind drifts through the “what ifs,” picturing the roads his former love might walk and the life they might have shared. The song captures that bittersweet mix of curiosity, regret, and longing that surfaces right before sleep.

Yet Nodal also sprinkles in a gentle lesson on healing: real peace may not be found in the person who once drove you crazy, and understanding this takes time—poquito a poco. By embracing patience and maturity, the singer chooses slow acceptance over sudden closure, turning a familiar heartbreak into a relatable, hopeful anthem for anyone learning to let go step by step.
