Mil motivos Lyrics (English Translation) – Alejandro Sanz, Carín León

Mil motivos (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

In the first part, the singer is basically saying he doesn’t expect the world to brighten up for him anymore. He isn’t looking for sunshine, flowers, or any kind of warm welcome. It shows how low and disconnected he feels. He’s hurting, but he’s also trying to act like he understands that life doesn’t revolve around him. Then he talks about his heart, almost as if he already accepted that the other person holds it. He tells them they don’t have to give it back, but only if keeping it is something they truly want. He doesn’t want pity or half-hearted love. He wants sincerity, even if it means letting go.

In the next part, he’s ready to accept a graceful goodbye. If the other person decides to leave, he’ll help make that exit smooth. He doesn’t pretend to want to return to the past, but he’s confused about what happens next and what the other person plans to do. It shows a mix of sadness and curiosity, like he’s stuck in this emotional limbo where nothing is clear.

When the chorus comes in, he admits that no matter how much distance appears between them, he still has endless reasons to love them. Even if they don’t want to see him anymore, that love remains. He also refuses the idea of staying friends because pretending their connection was small or simple would feel dishonest and painful. Seeing them casually walk by him would hurt more than not seeing them at all.

Later, he talks about how the other person seems impossible to reach, like they’re on another level altogether. He mentions playful exaggerations, like breaking the moon or needing a new language just to express how he feels. It shows the frustration and intensity in their relationship. He also admits he doesn’t even know what their relationship is anymore; they’re stuck singing the same emotional song but in different tones. When he says not to look at him a certain way, it hints at the physical and emotional pull they still share. One look could pull him right back into the feelings he’s trying to manage.

As the chorus repeats, he stands firm in his emotions. Even with distance, confusion, and pain, he holds on to all the reasons he continues to love this person deeply.
