Segundos Platos Lyrics in English Morat

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

SONG MEANING

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.
