La Escalera Lyrics in English Pablo Alborán

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Escalera by Pablo Alborán from Spanish to English.
He met her on the staircase
Of a roadside bar
She was alone and lost, eager to talk with anybody
It was night and in the dark
He brushed her shy waist
They felt all the urge to lose their heads on the moon
Crazy
Let him eat your mouth
Let the hours go by today
Losing yourself in his soft laugh
From so much love that is squandered
His hands and his tongue broken
So fragile they fall to pieces
They got rid of the shadows
Give him everything that you have inside your so sad heart
He wants to be your daylight
And your chaos in the coldest night
And I'd tell you, my love
Stay with me
The night that they loved each other
Lasted as long as they could
They tore off their skin
Losing their direction in their kisses
At the foot of the staircase
That one that was a witness
Of a thick tale of sex, heat and delirium
And crazy
Let him eat your mouth
Let the hours go by today
Losing yourself in his soft laugh
From so much love that is squandered
His hands and his tongue broken
So fragile they fall to pieces
They got rid of the shadows
And give him everything that you have inside your so sad heart
He wants to be your daylight
And your chaos in the coldest night
And I'd tell you, my love
Stay with me
As mysterious as it was
The whereabouts of her purse
His being wasn't enough for you
Nor his most sincere caresses
It wasn't enough for you to be his princess for one night
Give him everything that you have inside your so sad heart
He wants to be your daylight
And your chaos in the coldest night
And I'd tell you, my love
Stay with me

SONG MEANING

Pablo Alborán’s “La Escalera” (The Staircase) drops us into a late-night encounter on the steps of a lonely roadside bar, where two strangers spark a whirlwind of chemistry. The lyrics paint the scene in vivid strokes: a timid brush of a waist, laughter echoing in the dark, and a shared decision to abandon caution for raw desire. The staircase itself becomes a silent witness to their feverish rush of sexo, calor y delirio—sex, heat, and delirium—while time seems to pause so they can taste every stolen second together.

Beneath the steamy surface, the song explores the bittersweet clash between fleeting passion and aching loneliness. Alborán urges the lover to "give everything inside your sad heart" and promises to be both light of day and chaos in the coldest night, yet the fling teeters on uncertainty. The chorus’s plea—"Quédate conmigo" (Stay with me)—reveals a deeper craving for connection that lust alone cannot satisfy. In the end, “La Escalera” is a sensual reminder that even the most blazing moments can leave us wondering whether a night of surrender is enough to fill the spaces longing tries to heal.
