Verse 1

I was driving at night and I think of you

And of so many things that I didn't get to tell you

And the moon from afar accompanies me

And it brings back so many memories that I lost

And on the radio, your song is playing

The one that we danced so many times you and I

And the rain falls so hard on my window

And it evaporates like drops of your love

Prechorus 1

And the lights of the cars shine like the stars

Or: And the car lights shine like stars

In the sky of pain

The road is passing and I'm accelerating

Like someone who seeks love

I'm looking for you, like a madman, tell me

Chorus 1

Where will you be? Where will you be?

Or: Where could you be? Where could you be?

Do you still think of me?

Where will you be? Where will you be?

I continue thinking of you

I want to know if there will still remain

A little bit of love for me

The road gets long

Or: The road stretches out

And I feel that I can die

Verse 2

I'm driving, I think that the sun is going to rise

What I'd give to be in your room

Or: How I wish I could be in your room

Your answering machine answers my call

I leave a message recorded with my voice

And I tell you that I miss you

That you are my whole life

That I drown in alcohol

That I don't accept that this beautiful story ends

This story of the two of us

That that guy who pretends

That that guy who aims to

Kidnapping my caresses isn't going to be better than me

Don't doubt it, my love, tell me

Chorus 2

Where will you be? Where will you be?

Do you still think of me?

Where will you be? Where will you be?

I continue thinking of you

I want to know if there will still remain

A little bit of love for me

The road gets long

Or: Th road feels long

And I feel that I can die

Chorus 3

Tell me, where will you be? Where will you be?

Do you still think of me? You tell me

Where will you be? Where will you be?

I continue thinking of you

I want to know if there will still remain

A little bit of love for me

The road gets long

And I feel that I can die

GEOFFREY ROYCE ROJAS, DANIEL SANTACRUZ

Did you like this lyrics translation?

Secuestrarme — To kidnap me

Secuestrar literally means "to kidnap", a dramatic word that immediately grabs your attention.

In this bachata hit, Prince Royce isn't talking about a real crime. He uses this powerful verb metaphorically to describe a rival trying to "secuestrarme tus caricias" (kidnap your caresses from me), a poetic way of saying the other man is trying to steal his lover's affection. This creative use makes it a truly memorable word!

Prince Royce takes us on a lonely late-night drive in "La Carretera", blending sweet Bachata rhythms with the desperation of trying to win an ex back. The setup is immediate: he is behind the wheel, staring at the headlights shining "como las estrellas en el cielo del dolor" ("like stars in the sky of pain"), while the radio happens to play the exact song the two of them used to dance to. Instead of moving on, he hits the gas pedal, gets stuck in his memories, and leaves a voicemail admitting that he is drowning his sorrows in alcohol ("me ahogo en el alcohol").

Things get dramatic fast when he brings up his competition. He complains about the new guy trying to "secuestrarme tus caricias" ("kidnap your caresses from me"), insisting that nobody can love her better. Between begging to know "¿Todavía piensas en mí?" ("Do you still think of me?") and watching the sun come up over the asphalt, he makes the road trip feel endless. It is a classic tale of late-night regret where driving aimlessly feels like the only cure for a broken heart.
