Conocerte Lyrics in English by PATY CANTU
Conocerte combines conocer (to know or meet someone) with te (you), creating the intimate phrase “to get to know you.” In the song, the singer has imagined a perfect person and traveled through life waiting for the chance to finally meet them, making this word central to the song’s hopeful romantic anticipation.
Paty Cantú sings to someone she has not met yet. The opening lines treat every past mistake as a road that led here: "Ya olvidamos mil amores" [We have already forgotten a thousand loves] and "Para llegar aquí" [to get here]. She is certain about this person before any meeting: "Sé que eres perfecto para mí" [I know you're perfect for me], and the only thing left is "Solo falta conocerte" [I just need to meet you].
The second verse jumps ahead to plans: "Viajaremos por el mundo" [We will travel the world], and the good and bad she lived through will make sense "Cuando llegues aquí" [when you get here]. The bridge repeats "Sé que se viene, se viene, se viene" [I know it's coming, it's coming, it's coming], a playful countdown to a love that has not arrived.
