Days pass and I keep thinking of you
Hours pass, I can't manage to break free
It's so absurd to imagine that our love
isn't enough to make us come back
Life goes by and I keep thinking that
we had everything to do us a lot of good
that distance couldn't destroy
that space built in illusion
And tell me how I can breathe
in this world so empty that remains in me
Where has that charm between us gone?
I beg you, don't forget it, please
Days pass and I keep thinking of you
Hours pass, I can't manage to break free
It's so absurd to imagine that our love
isn't enough to make us come back
Life passes and I keep thinking that
we had everything to do us so much good
that distance couldn't destroy
that space built in illusion
And tell me how, tell me, how do I breathe
in this world so empty that remains in me?
Where has that charm, that charm between us gone?
I beg you, don't forget it, please
I only want to love you
I only want to hug you
In this crazy universe, to look at you, to grow
And at a distance, to love you
I only want to love you
I only want to kiss you
In this, our goodbye, to look at you, to tear away
And at a distance, to love you
I only want to love you
I only want to hug you
In this crazy universe, to look at you, to grow
And at a distance, to love you
I only want to love you
I only want to kiss you
In this, our goodbye, to look at you, to tear away
And in the distance, sea
I just want, want, want to hug you

SONG MEANING

Imagine flipping through a calendar, page after page, and realizing every single square still echoes the same name. That is the heartbeat of “Pasan Los Días,” where Mexican singer-songwriter Natalia Lafourcade paints the ache of missing someone across minutes, hours, and whole lifetimes. She sings of a love so big it should conquer distance, yet she finds herself stuck between memory and reality, asking how to breathe in a world that suddenly feels empty.

The song is a bittersweet cocktail of longing and stubborn hope. Each chorus counts the days while the verses confess an unwavering desire to hold, kiss, and grow with the absent lover. Even as she doubts whether love is “sufficient” to bring them back together, her repeated plea — “Solo quiero quererte” (I only want to love you) — keeps the flame alive. In the end, “Pasan Los Días” invites listeners to feel the tension between time passing and love persisting, reminding us that distance might stretch the heart, but it never quite breaks it.
