Llegaste Lyrics in English Jennifer Lopez , Roberto Carlos

Home / Lyrics Translation / Jennifer Lopez / Llegaste

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Llegaste by Jennifer Lopez from Spanish to English.

So much time has already been walking and I stop to contemplate it

So many sorrows that I had to change the handkerchief more than once

I have marks that were born from laughing so much over the years

And I have the prettiest memories hidden in my skin

Who

Would believe that you would arrive like an act of magic

As if it’s still not late

To fall in love

You arrived

You put an “I love you” in my mouth

Like a sweet with caramel

I needed a good love

You arrived

You said “well, of course, I love you”

For falling in love there’s no time

I needed a good love

Now that I forgive my mistakes I can see everything more clearly

Now that the silence caresses me and the loneliness has gone

You arrive with a smile on, you light up my spaces

You arrive and whisper in my ear “stay one more night”

Who

Would believe that you would arrive like an act of magic

As if it’s still not late

To fall in love

You arrived

You put an “I love you” in my mouth

Like a sweet with caramel

I needed a good love

You arrived

You said “well, of course, I love you”

For falling in love there’s no time

I needed a good love

Who

Would believe that you would arrive like an act of magic

As if it’s still not late

To fall in love

You arrived

You put an “I love you” in my mouth

Like a sweet with caramel

I needed a good love

You arrived

You said “well, of course, I love you”

For falling in love there’s no time

I needed a love, a love

You arrived

You put an “I love you” in my mouth

Like a sweet with caramel

I needed a good love

SONG MEANING

Ready for a love story that feels like a sprinkle of magic? In Llegaste (“You Arrived”), New-York-born, Puerto-Rican-rooted superstar Jennifer Lopez teams up with legendary Brazilian singer Roberto Carlos to celebrate the exact moment when real love finally shows up. The narrator looks back on a long journey filled with tears, laughter, and hard-earned wisdom, then—almost like a surprise gift—someone walks in and simply says te quiero (“I love you”). That tiny phrase is compared to a candy that melts sweetly on the tongue, healing old wounds and turning loneliness into radiant hope.

The song’s message is refreshingly simple: no matter how many scars life has carved or how much time has passed, authentic affection can still arrive at any moment. With warm vocals and gentle guitar, the duet reminds us that forgiveness clears our vision, smiles light up dark corners, and there is no deadline for falling in love. Press play, and let this bilingual ballad convince you that your own unexpected amor del bueno—your “real, good love”—might be just around the corner.
