Melancolía Lyrics in English Nicky Jam

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Melancolía by Nicky Jam from Spanish to English.
Listen to me
I'm speaking from the heart
Sorry if feelings made me make decisions
And even though dreams sometimes break hearts
It's true
I cried too
I walked through the desert too
Not knowing what to do
But there are things that go first and love comes and goes
What we had was real, don't take it the wrong way
This is me being sincere, being real with you
Everything that starts someday ends
Everything that is everything will someday be nothing
Here everything changes, what did you expect?
Everything that goes up always comes down
Everything that starts someday ends
Everything that is everything will someday be nothing
Here everything changes, what did you expect?
Everything that goes up always comes down
Don't believe anybody, don't believe me
Just believe time, it'll tell you
Love is dumb, that's how love is
I want you to love yourself even if you don't love me
I want you to always put yourself first
I want it to go from winter to spring
Everything that starts someday ends
Everything that is everything will someday be nothing
Here everything changes, what did you expect?
Everything that goes up always comes down
Everything that starts someday ends
Everything that is everything will someday be nothing
Here everything changes, what did you expect?
Everything that goes up always comes down

SONG MEANING

In “Melancolía”, Puerto Rican hit-maker Nicky Jam opens his diary and lets us peek inside. Over a smooth, nostalgic beat, he admits he once acted on impulse, weeps for broken dreams, and walks through a lonely “desert” of uncertainty. Yet the song is not just a tear-jerker; it’s a philosophical reminder that everything that goes up must come down. Love can be thrilling one minute and vanish the next, so we’d better learn to flow with life’s constant changes.

Instead of begging for a reunion, Nicky does something rare in breakup songs: he cheers on his ex. He wants her to love herself first, to move from the icy chill of winter straight into the warmth of spring. By repeating the mantra that “everything ends someday,” he turns heartbreak into a life lesson about impermanence, self-worth, and renewal. The result is a track that feels bittersweet yet empowering—perfect for singing your sorrows away while practicing those English verbs!
