Busca Un Problema Lyrics in English Natalia Lafourcade

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Busca Un Problema by Natalia Lafourcade from Spanish to English.
Look for, look for a problem over there
Look for, look for, you can find it
Run, run to mom's bed
Tell her that tonight you won't come home
To the house, to the house
Look, look inside your shoes now
A cigarette, you can find it
Look for, look for the person that will
Make your dreams by themselves come true
Enter on tiptoe, nobody will hear
Your shoes at twelve o'clock at night
Run and in bed start thinking
What you will say the next day to your dad
And
They can kick you out of your house
Or punish you for the week
They can forbid you the drinks
But you are the owner of your life
Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, uhe
Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, uhe
Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, uhe
Pa, pa, pa, pa, uhe
They can kick you out of your house
Or punish you for the week
They can forbid you the drinks
But you are the owner of your life
They can kick you out of your house
Or punish you for the week
They can forbid you the drinks
You do whatever you want with your life
They can kick you out of your house
Or punish you for the week
They can forbid you the drinks
But you are the owner of your life
But you do whatever you want with your life

SONG MEANING

Natalia Lafourcade’s “Busca Un Problema” is a playful anthem of late-night rebellion. The song paints the scene of a young person sneaking out, rummaging for a cigarette, and racing into the night in search of adventure. With quick, catchy commands like “Busca, busca” and “Corre, corre,” Natalia captures the adrenaline rush of breaking rules while the rest of the world sleeps. Every line feels like a dare: skip curfew, miss the ride home, let your shoes hit the floor at midnight, then worry about the excuse you will give dad tomorrow.

Beneath the mischief lies a bigger message: personal freedom comes with consequences, but the choice is yours. Parents can ground you, kick you out, or ban your drinks, yet the chorus reminds us “tú eres dueño de tu vida” — you are the owner of your life. The song celebrates that exhilarating moment when a teenager realizes rules exist, yet autonomy is irresistible. “Busca Un Problema” invites listeners to taste independence, feel the thrill of risk, and decide for themselves where the night (and life) will lead.
