Sube La Radio Lyrics in English Nek

Home / Lyrics Translation / Nek / Sube La Radio

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sube La Radio by Nek from Spanish to English.

I imagine you stopping at a stop

You put on makeup thinking about the time

With that old-fashioned little skirt

I imagine you going out every dawn

Black clouds over your head

And looking at the phone still unanswered

It's not enough for you and you know it

If you don't say it, it's because something is hiding from you

A message that makes you fall in love

It's not asking for much even though nobody responds

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

I imagine you always dancing like that

Forgetting that the hours fly by

When everyone asks why you're so alone

And I swear I don't know what I would give to see

Your eyes amazed again

When whispering in your ear that we are alone

When you laugh, when you look

At that dress you later don't buy

When you go out, when you come in

I want to be there, be part of you

When you run, when you stop

When it seems like you're going the other way

And a song is reaching your lips

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 up

It's already playing on the radio

Playing 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 up

And is 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.
