Tarde Lyrics in English Morat

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tarde by Morat from Spanish to English.
I haven't quit that habit
Of tracking your steps
Of keeping a message ready
Just in case
I get some sign
That you're already alone
I want you to know that I still exist
And to tell you
'Hey, what's up?'
I, trusting that you remember
Always calculating when to show up
And I always arrive late
Late
Seeing you dancing with somebody burns
With how fast you fall in love
Tell me how you expect me to catch up to you
Because when you cry, you cry
Hours on a stranger's shoulder
That showed up early to console you
But I've been ready for three years
And I always arrive
Late
Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
Late
Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
Late
Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
And I always arrive late
My door never stayed shut
Because our ending stayed open
I never neglected your gaze
A damn airport took it from me
I know that you had plans to leave
And that our future was uncertain
But since I saw that you came back
I want to tell you
'Hey, what's up?'
I, trusting that you remember
Always calculating when to show up
And I always arrive late
Late
Seeing you dancing with somebody burns
With how fast you fall in love
Tell me how you expect me to catch up to you
Because when you cry, you cry
Hours on a stranger's shoulder
That showed up early to console you
But I've been ready for three years
And I always arrive
Late
Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
Late
Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
Late
Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
And I always arr-
But since I saw that you came back
I want to tell you 'Hi-'

SONG MEANING

“Tarde” is a bittersweet confession of bad timing. The Colombian band Morat slips into the shoes of someone who cannot shake an old love, checking the phone for any hint that the ex might be single again. He has text messages drafted, memories on replay and an open door at home — yet each time he finally works up the courage to show up, he discovers she has already found someone else. Watching her dance with another “arde” (it burns), but what aches even more is realizing that the perfect moment to win her back always passes a few minutes before he arrives.

The chorus drives home the frustration of forever being “tarde” — late to comfort her tears, late to spark a new beginning, late to everything that matters. While the music keeps an upbeat folk-pop energy, the lyrics paint a picture of longing, regret and the cruel difference between being ready and being on time. In short, “Tarde” is the anthem for anyone who has loved fiercely, planned every word in advance and still missed their chance by one heartbreaking instant.
