El Lugar Correcto Lyrics in English Natalia Lafourcade

“El Lugar Correcto” is Natalia Lafourcade’s tender love letter to herself. In the lyrics she politely excuses her brief “absence” because she had a date with the person she had been neglecting: her own reflection. While the Mexican singer twirls through her memories, tears slip out and water long-forgotten pains. Yet every step of that dance feels liberating, because it leads her back to a calm inner silence where she can finally hear her heart’s real voice.

From that quiet place the song blossoms into a gentle reminder that the perfect place is always the present moment. Natalia lists the simple, dazzling truths she rediscovers there: sunsets that glow, the breath that sustains her, a lonely garden in Veracruz, even a playful switch to French to show how universal the feeling is. Each chorus repeats like an encouraging mantra—“El lugar correcto es el ahora”—inviting us to put our worries down, inhale, and realize we already stand exactly where we need to be.
