“Gracias” is Pablo Alborán’s heartfelt thank-you note to life, music, and everyone who has ever sung along with him. Throughout the lyrics he counts his blessings: the luck of knowing who truly loves him, having a safe place to return to when he feels hurt, and carrying a passion that guides every step. Even while admitting moments of fear and the urge to run away, he celebrates how music lifts him onto a “cloud” where dreams really do come true.
The chorus turns directly to the listener, revealing the song’s main message: Pablo’s voice may belong to him, yet it finds its real power in the shared experience of performing for and with others. He promises to keep giving his life to his art, to stay free like a “citizen of the air,” and to cherish the special bond born whenever voices blend in song. In short, “Gracias” is an uplifting reminder that gratitude, community, and dreams fuel the magic that happens between an artist and their audience.
