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

Wedding bells are ringing

And the bride still has doubts

She can't find the reasons anymore

Neither in white, nor naked

What used to be blind love

Now madness wraps it

What used to be an 'I do'

Doubt is killing it

And at the altar

The heart beats again

But she doesn't know if it's love or loneliness

And the truth

That the more time went by

The less time she had left

To escape

And she escaped naked

Throwing the dress at the priest's bald head

And she escaped from the man

That had turned her into a woman without a name

And in the vestry

The in-laws cried, the parents laughed

Because she was the most beautiful runaway bride ever conceived

She preferred sunrises

Over any moons without honey

Since it's only a week

A bitter life isn't worth it

"What do we do now?" said the father-in-law

If I've already paid for the banquet

Get out of my sight, blockhead

My girl is worth more than some canapés

And at the altar

The heart beats again

But she doesn't know if it's love

Or loneliness

And the truth

That the more time went by

The less time she had left

To escape

And she escaped naked

Throwing the dress at the priest's bald head

And she escaped from the man

That had turned her into a woman without a name

And in the vestry

The in-laws cried, the parents laughed

Because she was the most beautiful runaway bride ever conceived

And at the altar

The heart beats again

But she doesn't know if it's love

Or loneliness

And the truth

That the more time went by

The less time she had left

To escape

And she escaped naked

Throwing the dress at the priest's bald head

And she escaped from the man

That had turned her into a woman without a name

And in the vestry

The in-laws cried, the parents laughed

Because she was the most beautiful runaway bride ever conceived

And she escaped naked

Throwing the dress at the priest's bald head

And she escaped from the man

That had turned her into a woman without a name

And in the vestry

The in-laws cried, the parents laughed

Because she was the most beautiful runaway bride ever conceived

SONG MEANING

Novia A La Fuga paints the hilarious yet thought-provoking picture of a bride who gets cold feet at the very last second. While wedding bells ring and guests wait, she feels her heart racing—but she can’t tell if it’s love or loneliness. Faced with a lifetime of doubt, she grabs her courage (and nothing else), flings her dress at the stunned priest, and sprints away. Melendi turns this chaotic escape into a celebration of freedom, showing that one week of party planning is never worth decades of regret.

Behind the comedy lies a gentle critique of social expectations. Relatives bicker over paid banquets, the groom is left speechless, and only her parents grin with pride. By choosing sunrises over a loveless honeymoon, the runaway bride reclaims her identity and reminds us that saying “I don’t” can sometimes be the bravest way to say “I do” to ourselves.
