Sube La Radio Lyrics in English Nek

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sube La Radio by Nek from Spanish to English.
I imagine that you stop at a stop sign
You put on makeup while thinking about the time
With that little skirt that's out of style
I imagine you heading out at every dawn
Black clouds over your head
And checking the phone still without an answer
It's no use to you and you know it
If you don't say it, it's because you're hiding something
A message that makes you fall in love
It's not asking much even though nobody answers
And your eyes so bright
Two hearts that fill stadiums
And a song is reaching your lips
Turn up the radio, the radio, the radio, the radio
Turn up the radio, the radio, the radio, the radio
I imagine that you always dance like that
Forgetting that the hours fly
When everybody asks why you're so alone
And I swear I don't know what I'd give to see
That your eyes are amazed again
When I whisper in your ear that we're alone
When you laugh, when you look
That dress that you then don't buy
When you go out, when you come in
I want to be there, to be part of you
When you run, when you brake
When it seems that you're going the other way
And a song is reaching your lips
Turn up the radio, the radio, the radio, the radio
Turn up the radio, the radio, the radio, the radio
Turn up the radio, the radio, the radio, the radio
The breeze is always close
The street is a stage
Today my song wakes you
It's already playing on the radio
It plays on the radio and it's for you
And it's for you
For you
Turn up the radio, the radio, the radio, the radio
The breeze is always close
The street is a stage
Turn up the radio, the radio, the radio, the radio
Today my song wakes you
And it's reaching your lips
Turn up the radio, the radio, the radio, the radio

SONG MEANING

Picture this: the early morning buzz of the city, a young woman touching up her makeup and stepping into the street with a slightly old-school skirt and a phone that stubbornly refuses to light up. Nek slips into the scene as an invisible narrator, sensing her doubts and loneliness yet admiring the spark in her eyes. Every beat of the chorus “Sube la radio” is his friendly shout, telling her to crank up the volume, drown out the gloom, and let a feel-good anthem paint the day with color.

The song is both a pep-talk and a secret love letter. Nek wishes he could tag along while she shops, laughs, hesitates, and dances until the hours disappear. Since he cannot be there physically, he sends his message through the airwaves: turn up the radio and you will hear my heart singing for you. The simple act of raising the volume becomes a ritual of confidence, connection, and hope, reminding us that sometimes a catchy song can be the bridge between solitude and joy.
