Segundos Platos Lyrics in English Morat

Home / Lyrics translation / Morat / Segundos Platos

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Segundos Platos by Morat from Spanish to English.

You touched my hand and it wasn't by mistake

I know your intentions, there's no need to pretend

Even though I'd die for a kiss

You're just looking for a kiss that in the end

Heals a wound that someone else left

Don't pretend that you can fix your heart

With pieces that others hand you

Because fixing it isn't that easy

It might beat, but it's so fragile that in the end

Any memory will break it apart

And I don't want to be there when you cry

When you find out that time

Hasn't done its job

I'll come back

I might take a while

When the second courses are over

I'll make you fall in love again

I'll come back

Only when you're ready

It'll be love at second sight

And I'll make you fall in love again

Because I don't want to be there when you cry

And that the memory of someone else

Waters my flowers

You're so vulnerable and easy to read

I with a goodbye that's hard to admit

I want to play my cards really well

I'm going to wait as long as it takes because I know

That I don't want to make you fall in love like this

I'll come back

I might take a while

When the second courses are over

I'll make you fall in love again

I'll come back

Only when you're ready

It'll be love at second sight

And I'll make you fall in love again

Because I don't want to be there when you cry

And that the memory of someone else

Waters my flowers

I'll come back

And you'll go back

To feeling butterflies

To a message making you nervous

And I'll make you fall in love again

I'll come back

Only when you're ready

It'll be love at second sight, and I

I'll make you fall in love again

Because I don't want to be there when you cry

New tears, but from old loves

And that the memory of someone else

Waters my flowers

segundos platos — second courses / second best

Segundos platos literally means "second courses" or "second dishes" in a meal. However, in this song, it's used metaphorically to mean "second best" or "rebound relationships."

The lyrics, "Cuando se acaben los segundos platos, yo volveré a enamorarte," suggest that the singer will wait until the other person is done with temporary, less fulfilling relationships (the "second bests") before he tries to win their heart again. It's a clever and poignant way to talk about waiting for true love while someone is settling for less.

How would you feel if the person you like treated you like leftovers instead of the main course? That’s the cheeky metaphor behind Segundos Platos (“Second Servings”). Morat sings as someone who realizes the girl he loves is still nursing a broken heart; she wants a quick kiss to cover the pain, not a brand-new romance. He spots the problem instantly: if he plays along now, her old memories will end up watering his flowers, and everyone will end in tears.

So he makes a bold move—he steps back. The chorus is his promise: “I’ll be back to win your heart once the ‘second plates’ are gone.” He’s willing to wait until her wounds close, until butterflies flutter again for the right reasons, not out of nostalgia. The song is both playful and wise, reminding us that real love sometimes means patience, timing, and refusing to be anybody’s rebound.
