Besos A La Lona Lyrics in English Melendi

Home / Lyrics translation / Melendi / Besos A La Lona

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Besos A La Lona by Melendi from Spanish to English.

Night falls and the pain

Your memory starts to burn

My body loses heat

With the absence of your skin

My hope screams louder

More than the fear of losing you

I settle for seeing you again

Don't tell me that it's love

The years go by

And we're still in the ring

My heart keeps loving you

My head wants to run

The years go by

And we're still in the ring

In this boxing match on points

Where low blows and testosterone

Fight to save what we have together

While the kisses hit the canvas

Words in gray suits

Malicious metal tongues

Every month a face-to-face

Every day a carnival

I can't hear your voice

You don't need to yell at me

You beg me not to rush

Don't tell me that it's love

The years go by

And we're still in the ring

My heart keeps loving you

My head wants to run

The years go by

And we're still in the ring

In this boxing match on points

Where low blows and testosterone

Fight to save what we have together

While the kisses hit the canvas

The years go by

And we're still in the ring

My heart keeps loving you

My head wants to run

The years go by

And we're still in the ring

In this boxing match on points

Where low blows and testosterone

Fight to save what we have together

While the kisses hit the canvas

And even though we cross off every day on the calendar

As if it were a sentence to serve

Fighting with you is the best thing that's ever happened to me

You taught me so many things about myself

That today I've gathered courage

To come ask you

If you accept me as your eternal opponent

Did you like this lyrics translation?

contrincante — opponent / rival

Contrincante translates to "opponent" or "rival". It's a strong, formal word often used in sports or debates, making its appearance in a love song quite striking.

In "Besos A La Lona," the singer uses this word to describe his partner in the context of their tumultuous relationship, which is likened to a boxing match. He asks, "Si me aceptas como eterno contrincante?" (If you accept me as an eternal opponent?), transforming the idea of a rival into a declaration of enduring love and commitment, even through conflict. This unique usage makes it particularly memorable and engaging.

Picture two lovers locked inside a boxing ring, gloves on and hearts wide open. In "Besos A La Lona" ("Kisses Hitting the Canvas"), Melendi turns a turbulent romance into a dramatic match where passion, fear, and stubborn pride throw punch after punch. Nights feel cold without her touch, his heart shouts louder than his doubts, yet every low blow and burst of testosterone sends their kisses crashing to the floor.

Despite the bruises, the singer admits that fighting beside her is the best thing that ever happened to him. Years pass, the scorecards fill up, and his head keeps whispering "run" while his heart keeps chanting "love." Instead of walking away, he gathers the courage to ask for one more round – forever – as her eternal opponent, proving that some relationships survive not by avoiding conflict but by learning to keep getting back up together.
