Marchita Lyrics in English Silvana Estrada

Silvana Estrada’s “Marchita” is the sound of a flower losing its color under the weight of unreturned love. With her warm yet fragile voice, the Mexican singer-songwriter looks back on a relationship that felt intense in the moment but was ultimately one-sided. She pictures her heart as a blossom that has wilted after “so many times” of losing this person, and every note is a sigh remembering the texture of their summer kisses, the sweetness of their hands, and the painful realization that for the other person it was all just a game.

Instead of anger, the song glows with quiet regret: If only I had known… runs through the lyrics like a soft refrain. Estrada admits she would have guarded her heart more carefully, saved herself the tears that “forgot how to pray,” and perhaps never penned this very song. “Marchita” becomes a bittersweet lesson in self-worth and vulnerability, reminding listeners that even the most delicate souls can find strength in acknowledging their own wilted petals and choosing to heal.
