El Abrazo Lyrics in English Juanes

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Abrazo by Juanes from Spanish to English.
A tight hug for the one that stays silent
For the one that lives their own battle
For the one that dreams, for the one that cries
For everyone that the hours aren't enough for
A tight hug is more valuable
Than all the shiny and precious gold
A hug is powerful
And if it's from the one that you love, glorious
So that it lifts me, so that it carries me
A hug that renews my soul
That awakens all my senses
And merges into a single heartbeat
Listen, that when I'm not with you
The days feel so long, I'd give everything to hug you again
What irony, I that took everything for granted
And now that my chest hurts I feel your distance more
A tight hug for the one that misses
Their family, their sea, their mountain
A sincere hug I want
A hug that is true
So that it lifts me, so that it carries me
A hug that renews my soul
That awakens all my senses
And merges into a single heartbeat
Listen, that when I'm not with you
The days feel so long, I'd give everything to hug you again
What irony, I that took everything for granted
And now that my chest hurts I feel your distance more
So that it lifts me, so that it carries me
A hug that renews my soul
Listen, that when I'm not with you
The days feel so long, I'd give everything to hug you again
What irony, I that took everything for granted
And now that my chest hurts I feel your distance more
Listen, I that took everything for granted
And now that my chest hurts I feel your distance more

SONG MEANING

El Abrazo is Juanes’s heartfelt love letter to the simple yet mighty hug. Over a bright, folk-rock groove, the Colombian icon salutes everyone who could use that squeeze of hope: the silent fighters, the day-dreamers, the homesick souls missing their mountains and sea. For Juanes, an embrace is worth more than glittering gold because it can lift you up, renew your spirit, awaken every sense, and fuse two heartbeats into one.

The song also carries a gentle warning. When distance creeps in, Juanes feels the sting of taking closeness for granted, his chest aching for the warmth he once assumed would always be there. El Abrazo reminds us to treasure physical connection right now, not later, and to share its healing power with everyone who crosses our path.
