Verse 1

The flight is scheduled for twelve

In ten hours I land in your country

That same old hotel from that night

I have faith to see you there again

You know that for you I invent four hundred days in the calendar

Tomorrow at twelve and a half we are devouring

Chorus 1

Love, those four letters mark your destiny

Separated, nevertheless, so united

Apart, yet, so united

This is so special

I curse the distance, I prefer to be with you

That magic, that power falls into your hands

Very absurd that we're separated

But life is like this

Already they denied the visa and it has me tormented

Verse 2

If you're ever going to tell our story

Make it clear that I loved you

There is no passport or law that opposes

There is no government that can beat us

Love is power

Damn tyranny and its conditions

The cause of which you're far from me

In Havana where we gave each other loves

Estranged, destined to suffer

You know that for you I invent four hundred days in the calendar

Tomorrow at twelve and a half we are devouring

Chorus 2

Love, those four letters mark your destiny

Separated, nevertheless, so united

This is so special

I curse the distance, I prefer to be with you

That magic, that power falls into your hands

Very absurd that we're separated

But life is like this

Already they denied the visa and it has me tormented

Ladies and gentlemen, I will welcome you to Havana, Cuba

In a few hours I see you alone

How do we speed up time?

May the waves be witnesses

Because already you are a citizen of my body

SONG MEANING

Fasten your seatbelt, bachata lovers, because Romeo Santos is about to take us on an emotional red-eye to Havana. Our narrator boards a midnight flight, heart pounding at the thought of reuniting with his long-distance love in the same vintage hotel where their sparks first flew. With playful exaggeration he’s ready to "add 400 days to the calendar" just to stretch their stolen moments, proving that time zones and bureaucratic clocks can’t keep true passion grounded.

Yet beneath the sultry rhythm lies a protest song in disguise. Immigration rules have denied her a visa, governments draw borders around their bodies, and geography plays the villain that keeps these soulmates apart. Romeo counters that tyranny with a simple mantra: Amar es poder (love is power). By the final chorus he declares her a "ciudadana de mi cuerpo", granting her the only citizenship that matters. It’s a heady mix of romance, frustration, and defiance, all wrapped in the smooth sway of bachata, inviting learners to feel every bittersweet step.
