Ni Un Segundo Lyrics in English Malu

Home / Lyrics Translation / Malu / Ni Un Segundo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ni Un Segundo by Malu from Spanish to English.

Without you

So many things in my life have gone

Nothing's like I used to know it anymore

My whole life changed color

The trace your fingers left is gone

The altars and the creeds are gone

The rules that you invented with your love

Don't think for even a second about coming back

Along the path that saw you leave

Because without you, because without you

There's nothing left of the courage that it gave me

To beg you for a kiss

I found freedom again and it slipped away

My heart that was imprisoned

The darkness inside me faded

And now I see that your love wasn't love

Maybe it hurts you

But since you left

I feel much better

Without you the light has come back in through the window

I've begun to smile again in the mornings

Without fear that someone tells me no

The trace your fingers left is gone

The altars and the creeds are gone

The rules that you invented with your love

And don't think for even a second about coming back

Along the path that saw you leave

Because without you, because without you

There's nothing left of the courage that it gave me

To beg you for a kiss

I found freedom again and it slipped away

My heart that was imprisoned

The darkness inside me faded

And now I see that your love wasn't love

Maybe it hurts you

But since you left

I feel much better

There's nothing left of the courage that it gave me

To beg you for a kiss

I found freedom again and it slipped away

My heart that was imprisoned

The darkness inside me faded

And now I see that your love wasn't love

Maybe it hurts you

But since you left

I feel much better

Maybe it hurts you

But since you left

I feel much better

SONG MEANING

“Ni Un Segundo” is Malú’s triumphant shout of independence. After a painful breakup, the Spanish-Cuban powerhouse looks back and realizes that the relationship stole her sparkle. With vivid images—dark rooms, vanished fingerprints, discarded “altars and creeds”—she paints how completely her ex shaped (and limited) her world. The chorus flips that darkness on its head: she has no intention of begging ni un segundo for their return. Instead, she basks in sunlight streaming through the window, laughs in the morning, and celebrates the freedom of a heart no longer “prisoner.”

At its core, the song is a celebration of self-worth rediscovered. The singer recognizes that what she called “love” was actually control, and the moment it walked out, so did the fear. Now she stands taller, happier, and stronger, letting her former partner know—in the catchiest way possible—that life is much better without them. Listeners come away humming a melody that doubles as a reminder: sometimes losing someone means finding yourself.
