Feel the bittersweet heartbeat of a love that once painted Madrid in bright colors. In “Puedes Contar Conmigo” singer Leire Martínez (fronting the Spanish pop band La Oreja de Van Gogh) looks back on a relationship that is ending, yet refuses to let the sadness erase the magic they shared. Over a cup of salty coffee and shaky emotions, she relives carefree winter afternoons, sleepless nights, and that unforgettable moment of seeing her partner waiting at her doorstep. The chorus’s promise—“puedes contar conmigo” (“you can count on me”)—turns the song into a warm hug, reminding us that true affection does not vanish even when romance fades.
Behind the catchy melody lies a story of nostalgia, unconditional support, and personal growth. The narrator admits the innocence of young love, accepts that their “world at their feet” was an illusion, and dreams of building a new life filled with color. Still, every memory pulls her back to the streets of Madrid where she once felt she would “die of love.” It is a gentle anthem for anyone who has loved deeply, lost gracefully, and still chooses kindness over bitterness.
