Solo Un Sueño Lyrics in English Christian Nodal

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Solo Un Sueño by Christian Nodal from Spanish to English.
Only a dream, only a dream
That couldn't come true
It was just a fantasy
That shattered my heart
I knew that you wouldn't last
Why did you suddenly leave me?
It was a dream dreamed in vain
That didn't become real
I thought, if you came
Our dreams would come true
Because no, no, no, I can't
Stop loving you
Why, why do I love you so much?
Why do you keep me in misery?
Crying will have to console me
Because I know that you won't come
I thought, if you came
Our dreams would come true
Because no, no, no, I can't
Stop loving you
Why, why do I love you so much?
Why do you keep me in misery?
Crying will have to console me
Because I know that you won't come

SONG MEANING

🎶 Imagine waking up to discover that your greatest love story was nothing more than a fleeting illusion. In “Solo Un Sueño,” Mexican singer-songwriter Christian Nodal pours his heart into a bittersweet tale of love that never truly materialized. The narrator believed that if the other person returned, their shared dreams would blossom into reality, yet he is left with only memories and unanswered questions: “¿Por qué te quiero tanto? ¿Por qué me tienes en miseria?” His aching repetition of “no puedo dejarte de amar” underscores how deeply that unrealized future still grips him.

✨ Behind the smooth ranchera melody lies a universal message: hope can sometimes blind us, turning desire into a beautiful—but painful—fantasy. Nodal’s lyrics capture the moment when optimism collides with reality, leaving tears as the only comfort. Whether you’ve experienced a similar heartbreak or you’re simply drawn in by the poetic Spanish phrasing, this song is a heartfelt reminder that not every dream becomes a love story, yet the emotions it stirs can be powerfully real.
