Mierda Lyrics in English Elsa y Elmar

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mierda by Elsa y Elmar from Spanish to English.
I can still look at you
For whole hours
And keep believing that it costs me a lot to know what you think
And when we sleep
In different beds
I miss something, I can't find the perfect position
I don't want everything to go to sh*t
For not knowing how, that love gets lost
I don't want everything to go to sh*t
I hope to light you up
Dark moments
Give you all those pieces of advice, so wise, that I have never followed
Shut up and listen to you
Know about your fears
And that you show them to me so we scream together when they show up
I don't want everything to disappear
That without knowing how, love gets lost
I don't want to forget you and that you forget me
Nor do I want to be part of what you remember
Nor do I want to start another life without counting on you
I don't want everything to go away
I don't want to meet people again without you
Without you
I don't want everything to go to sh*t
For not knowing how, that love gets lost
I don't want to forget you nor that you forget me
Nor do I want to be part of what you remember
Nor do I want to start another life without counting on you
I don't want everything to go away
I don't want to meet people again without you
Without you

SONG MEANING

“Mierda” grabs an everyday Spanish swear word and turns it into a heartfelt SOS. Elsa y Elmar sings about that jittery moment when love feels fragile: you still stare at your partner for hours, you still miss their weight on the other side of the bed, yet you sense that one wrong move could send the relationship a la mierda— straight to ruin. The lyrics circle around sleepless nights, mismatched schedules, and unspoken fears, all tied together by a stubborn hope that the bond can survive if both lovers keep talking, listening, and shining light on each other’s darkest corners.

Behind the catchy pop-folk melody lies a universal plea: Please, let’s not mess this up. Elsa y Elmar, the Colombian singer-songwriter celebrated for her honest storytelling, reminds us that love is not lost in one big explosion but in the tiny silences where we forget to communicate. Her song is an anthem for anyone who has ever clung to a relationship with equal parts panic and devotion, determined to fight for connection before everything goes to, well, mierda.
