Río Lyrics in English Luis Fonsi

Home / Lyrics Translation / Luis Fonsi / Río

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

Na, na, na, na-na

Waking up next to you is essential

What a blessing that I can witness it

I look calm, but inside, a carnival

I have nothing to change, you're the original recipe

I turn off the light so that she shines on her own

Blessed Virgin, I light little candles for you so that you watch over her

Because you can't be missing in my life

I have saved your kisses for when you get cold

Give me two drops of love, and I'll turn them into a river

Years go by, you and I get better like wine

Send a voice note, your mouth sets the rhythm

And I turn it into an anthem

Give me two drops of love

Just two drops, my love

And I turn them into a river

I can't forget it, it seems like it was yesterday

When I met her I said, 'It can't be'

And today I have her in front of me

You're the queen that I dreamed of before I was twenty

My lover, partner

My friend, my babe

Having you fills me

Loves that are worth it

My lover, partner

My friend, my babe

Having you fills me

I have saved your kisses for when you get cold

Give me two drops of love, and I'll turn them into a river

Years go by, you and I get better like wine

Send a voice note, your mouth sets the rhythm

And I turn it into an anthem

Give me two drops of love

Just two drops, my love

And I turn them into a river

No, no

And I turn them into a river

SONG MEANING

Luis Fonsi turns pure devotion into a tropical celebration in “Río.” The Puerto Rican crooner wakes up beside his beloved and instantly feels a carnaval bursting inside him. With playful gratitude, he calls her the “original recipe” and promises that even the tiniest gesture—“dos gotas de amor”—will grow into a mighty river of affection. Each line glows with reverence: he lights candles to protect her, saves up kisses for chilly nights, and shapes her voice messages into hymns.

At its heart, the song is a toast to enduring love. Time only sweetens their bond like aged wine, and Fonsi delights in every role his partner plays—lover, friend, confidante. “Río” reminds us that real romance isn’t about grand spectacles; it is the everyday magic of waking up together, sharing small drops of tenderness, and watching them flow endlessly toward the sea.
