Azul Lyrics in English Natalia Lafourcade

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Azul by Natalia Lafourcade from Spanish to English.
I'm afraid that time
will come and eat me
I'm afraid that the wind
will steal my voice
I'm afraid that they
will see me sad
That's why I
don't want to go out
I'm afraid that in the bathroom
they'll open the door
that they'll see me naked and
turn around
And if I keep eating
my weight goes up
That's why I
don't want to go out
That's why I
Babe wait for me, get away from me
Let me fall, let me go out
Babe wait for me, get away from me
Let me fall, let me go out
I'm afraid at night
that somebody will rob me
that the house will burn
or that there are ghosts
Writing more letters
Losing words
That's why I
don't want to go out
I'm afraid that one day
I'll lose my fingers
to have no more friends
that laugh with me
Slip on the ice
fall into the river
And that's why I
don't want to go out
That's why I
don't want to go out
That's why I
don't want to go out
That's why I
don't want to go out
That's why I
don't want to go out
Babe wait for me, get away from me
Let me fall, let me go out
Babe wait for me, get away from me
Let me fall, let me go out
I'm afraid of you and your voice
I'm afraid of you and your love
Afraid that my field
will stop growing colored flowers
I'm afraid of you and your voice
I'm afraid of you and your love
Afraid that my field
will stop growing colored flowers
Blue, blue, blue, blue

SONG MEANING

Natalia Lafourcade paints a vivid portrait of anxiety in “Azul.” Every verse stacks everyday worries—being seen naked, gaining weight, even ghosts in the night—until they form a towering wall that keeps her from leaving home. The repeated plea “Mami espérame” (Mom, wait for me) mixes child-like vulnerability with the search for personal space, showing how fear can make us beg for comfort and independence at the same time.

Yet amid the panic, the word “Azul” (blue) shines like a double-edged symbol: blue is the color of sadness, but also of open skies and possibility. By the end, the song suggests that confronting fear—letting ourselves “fall” and “go out”—may be the only way for new, colorful flowers to grow in our personal field. It is an intimate, bittersweet reminder that courage often begins with admitting just how scared we really are.
