Siempre Prisa Lyrics in English Natalia Lafourcade

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Siempre Prisa by Natalia Lafourcade from Spanish to English.
You made my kisses die
Afterward you closed the curtains
You poured honey into my veins
And now they're empty
Look, look at what we discovered
Look, look at what we destroyed
You were traveling a long road
One day I stopped the car
I wanted to give you the sky
But you didn't understand it
Look, look at what we discovered
Look, look you're always in a hurry

SONG MEANING

Siempre Prisa feels like a bittersweet postcard from a love that sped past its own beauty. Natalia Lafourcade sings of kisses that died, honey that once rushed through her veins but is now gone, and curtains pulled shut on what could have been a glowing stage. The narrator literally stops the car, ready to hand her partner the sky, only to realize he is already miles ahead in his mind, always in a hurry. This tension between her wish to savor the moment and his need for speed creates a vivid snapshot of discovery quickly followed by destruction.

Under the gentle melody, the lyrics explore how moving too fast can drain the sweetness out of affection. We see the contrast of honey vs. emptiness, discovery vs. ruin, and devotion vs. impatience. The song invites us to slow down, appreciate the small miracles in love, and notice what we might lose when we rush past them. By the final refrain, Lafourcade leaves us reflecting on how siempre prisa—being in constant haste—can make the most generous gifts invisible.
