PORNOSTALGIA Lyrics in English Esteman

Home / Lyrics Translation / Esteman / PORNOSTALGIA

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song PORNOSTALGIA by Esteman from Spanish to English.

I know that I won't be for you

But it's all the same, I don't care

And every time, I fall again

When I see the sign that you know how to give

Verse 1

Like hidden cats

Scratching what is forbidden

We get lost more and more

And let it not turn into day

Like my mother would say

'Now the devil is going to take charge'

Chorus 1

It hurts when you're here

I like it when you're here

And, and you always come back

Pain isn't for me

I swore that I wasn't going to repeat you again

But I come back to the same place

Out of nostalgia

Verse 2

When I saw you

At first I didn't think

About what the eyes never see

And very soon I got lost

In the sea of your skin

A shipwreck that I never imagined

What I feel is hard

You know what I feel

But desire is so cruel

A kiss the next day

Seems like an irony

A fleeting encounter that comes back again and again

Chorus 2

It hurts when you're here

I like it when you're here

And, and you always come back

Pain isn't for me

I swore that I wasn't going to repeat you again

But I come back to the same place

Out of nostalgia

Verse 3

If they've judged us so much

If this love is a sin

We can save ourselves today

Let's go to the confessional

To pray with our lips

So that we can already separate

And I know that I won't be for you

But it's all the same, I don't care

And every time, I fall again

When I see the sign that you know how to give

SONG MEANING

PORNOSTALGIA plunges us into the electric push-and-pull of a love affair that feels as irresistible as it is forbidden. Esteman sings from the perspective of someone who knows the relationship is doomed, yet keeps being lured back by secret signals, late-night scratches, and the dizzying taste of desire. The lovers hide “como gatos,” clawing at what they should not touch, while guilt, religious warnings, and the fear of daylight loom outside their clandestine bubble.

At its core, the song captures that bittersweet feeling we get when memories of past passion eclipse common sense. Every promise to quit collapses under the weight of “nostalgia,” a word Esteman repeats like a hypnotic mantra. Pain and pleasure blur, vows are broken, and the cycle begins anew—because sometimes the past is simply too seductive to let go.
