La Romana Lyrics in English Luis Fonsi

Home / Lyrics Translation / Luis Fonsi / La Romana

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Romana by Luis Fonsi from Spanish to English.

I lost a love

Like an idiot I left her alone

That's why now I am the one that cries for her

Thinking, the hours pass me by

And now I'm drinking solitude in the same bar

In which we gave each other the kiss that I came to look for today

And today I didn't find you, baby, answer me

I'm dying to kiss you again

Oh, tell me how I do it so that I forget her

What do I have to drink to forget her name?

As beautiful as you there aren't any more, and I'm only yours

You're the dream for any man

Life is only life when I'm with you

Tell your heart that we aren't friends

He knows that we are something more, you're the shooting star

And my wish is that she comes back with me, that she comes back with me

I remember when I met her in La Romana

We went to Samaná

We danced all night and plenty of mamajuana

So that she remembers me, I gave her a little gift

And like an idiot, without her I went to Puerto Rico

And now that I return she's not here, I'm going out to look for her

I want to live again that which made me dream

With love

I want to fill her life with flowers

Why do you make me suffer? Oh, woman

You tell me what I have to do

Babe, don't treat me like that anymore, just tell me yes

And come back here to my side, that I'm dying for you

Oh, tell me how I do it so that I forget her

What do I have to drink to forget her name?

As beautiful as you there aren't any more, and I'm only yours

You're the dream for any man

Life is only life when I'm with you

Tell your heart that we aren't friends

He knows that we are something more, you're the shooting star

And my wish is that she comes back with me, that she comes back with me

SONG MEANING

Heartache meets the Caribbean sun in “La Romana.” Luis Fonsi looks back on a love he foolishly let slip away, replaying every sweet memory like a beach-side movie in his mind. From their first magical kiss in a lively bar to adventurous nights dancing in La Romana and Samaná, the Puerto Rican singer paints a vivid picture of rum-soaked romance, palm trees, and irresistible chemistry. Now he drowns his loneliness in the very same bar, begging the woman of his dreams to answer her phone and give their story one more chance.

At its heart, the song is a plea for redemption: Fonsi admits his mistake, calls himself an “idiot,” and promises to fill her life with flowers if she returns. He believes that life only feels real when they are together, calling her a shooting star and himself her devoted admirer. “La Romana” mixes regret, nostalgia, and playful Caribbean flavor, reminding us that even paradise can feel empty when love is lost—but hope can always spark another dance under the island moon.
