El Destino Lyrics in English Natalia Lafourcade

El Destino opens with a harsh verdict: fate has salted the honey, wilted the fields, and turned ice cream sour. Natalia Lafourcade uses these images to show how everything loses flavor when love vanishes. We meet Benito - trapped in endless sorrow - and María - wounded yet slowly mending - two mirrors reflecting what a broken heart can do.

Even so, hope tiptoes in through a wise abuela who insists that life can still be ligera. Her words challenge the idea that happiness needs a prince or princess. The song swings between gloom and uplift, finally landing on a message of resilience: learn to laugh, keep walking, and trust that sweetness can return, even if destiny seems cruel.
