Mi Código Postal Lyrics in English Melendi

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mi Código Postal by Melendi from Spanish to English.
I've come back to the city
The one that saw me be born
I'm already back now
Nothing's the same
I remember it very well
And yet I'm
just another foreigner
Because you
Because you're not here anymore
Nobody needs to tell me that
I notice it in the city
The leaves in our park no longer wait for autumn
It's full of signs
banning everything
When you were here they weren't like that
At least I never saw them
Our spirit was a leader
It didn't believe in the impossible
No matter how many streets I walk I get nowhere
I found out while wandering
that having a destiny is more a motive than the where and when
How could I take so long to realize something that's so clear
Only where you are is my home
And the light of your gaze is my zip code
Only where you are is my home
Only where you are
It feels like it was yesterday
the day that I left
And more than 20 years have already gone by
But I still remember well
the smell of your skin
and the honey of your lips
But you, but you're not here anymore
And I've heard that people in the neighborhood say
that they don't think you'll come back anymore
They say that you keep painting
that portrait from a memory
that you made of me when we were little with a 6 and a 4
And later at the university
you asked me to pose again
You put some pearl earrings and your shoes on me
We couldn't stop laughing and I was dying of embarrassment
Even though I know I'd have done
anything for you no matter how crazy and absurd it seemed
because it was in that instant, that moment when I realized
Only where you are is my home
And the light of your gaze is my zip code
Only where you are is my home
Only where you are
and everything ended before it began
since you can't cover the sun with one finger
Maybe in another life
you can love me
because in this one I know
that you've come only to fly
Only where you are is my home
And the light of your gaze is my zip code
Only where you are is my home
Only where you are

SONG MEANING

Imagine stepping back into your childhood town expecting warm familiarity, only to feel like a tourist. That is exactly what Melendi narrates in “Mi Código Postal.” The singer wanders the streets that once shaped him, yet every corner whispers that something vital is missing: her. Without the person he loves, park leaves fall out of season, new “no-entry” signs pop up everywhere, and even playful memories feel foreign. He realizes that a place is not defined by buildings or postcodes but by the eyes that greet him. Her gaze, not a map, is his true GPS.

The song then flips through a scrapbook of memories: childhood drawings, university photo sessions, shared laughter, and shy blushes. These flashbacks underline one heartfelt discovery — home lives wherever she is. No physical address will ever feel complete until their paths cross again. The track blends nostalgia with acceptance, hinting that perhaps in another life their timing will align. For now, Melendi leaves us with a sweet lesson: sometimes finding your way means realizing that love, not geography, hands you your real zip code.
