999 Lyrics in English Selena Gomez , Camilo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song 999 by Selena Gomez from Spanish to English.
Intro
It's been a long time that I want to tell you something
And I can't
Intro
My skin gets goosebumps
Every time that I see you
Intro
I already searched on the internet
To see if it's normal
Intro
To feel so good and at the same time so bad
To want to kiss you without being able to kiss you
To touch without being able to touch you
Chorus 1
I don't have photos with you
But on the wall I have a space
Chorus 1
We haven't gone out even one day
And I already want to celebrate an anniversary
Chorus 1
I want that tonight you come for a visit
In the background put your favorite playlist
I want to do it with you
I don't want to have to go slow
Chorus 1
I know that you think about me
And your heart moves
If you want to go at a thousand
I am at nine hundred ninety-nine
I know that you think about me
And your heart moves
If you want to go at a thousand
I am at nine hundred ninety-nine
Verse 1
I know that to reach a thousand
You have to start from zero
Verse 1
First the rain falls before the downpour
And to be sincere with you
I am not waiting anymore
Verse 1
I have no doubts that this is true love
I've been thinking for a while now
About the perfect night
Verse 1
When I can finally have you completely
You and I flying without a plane
Traveling without a suitcase
Chorus 2
I don't have photos with you
But on the wall I have a space
Chorus 2
We haven't gone out even one day
And I already want to celebrate an anniversary
Chorus 2
I want that tonight you come for a visit
In the background put your favorite playlist
I want to do it with you
I don't want to have to go slow
Chorus 2
I know that you think about me
And your heart moves
If you want to go at a thousand
I am at nine hundred ninety-nine
I know that you think about me
And your heart moves
If you want to go at a thousand
I am at nine hundred ninety-nine
Verse 2
I already want to be with you
What we already did in my head
They aren't the first ones, but yes that they be mine
The last lips that you kiss
Chorus 3
I don't have photos with you
But on the wall I have a space
Chorus 3
We haven't gone out even one day
And I already want to celebrate an anniversary
Chorus 3
I want that tonight you come for a visit
In the background put your favorite playlist
I want to do it with you
I don't want to have to go slow
Chorus 3
I know that you think about me
And your heart moves
If you want to go at a thousand
I am at nine hundred ninety-nine
I know that you think about me
And your heart moves
If you want to go at a thousand
I am at nine hundred ninety-nine

SONG MEANING

“999” finds Mexico-rooted pop star Selena Gomez teaming up with Colombian singer Camilo to capture the electric rush of a crush that is about to turn into something real. The lyrics paint a playful picture of two people who are already day-dreaming about anniversaries, perfect nights together, and photo walls filled with memories—even though they have not gone on their first official date yet. Every line bursts with nervous excitement: goosebumps, racing hearts, and the irresistible urge to skip the small talk and jump straight into romance.

The title is a clever metaphor. If true love is “1000,” then both singers feel they are already at 999—just one heartbeat away from making it official. They admit they should probably start “from zero,” but emotions are running too hot to wait. The song celebrates that sweet spot between anticipation and action, where desire, impatience, and hope all blend into a catchy, danceable confession of “I’m ready when you are.”
