RETRICA Lyrics (English Translation) – Lucho RK

[Intro]
I woke up today wanting to see you walk in (Eh, yeah)
Through my front door—sure, come on in, we need to talk
I know you like coffee and toast with olive oil and salt
How could I forget? Baby, so many nights drinking mezcal
Waking up with me afterwards—being by my side is nothing to be sad about (Yah, yah)
I’m happy it happened; that’s what we have to hold onto

[Chorus]
It’s been a thousand nights of thinking of you and lighting a candle
Baby, I don’t know what to say when my grandma asks about you
Baby, it’s been a thousand days seeing your magnet on the fridge

I’ve thought about taking it down—ha, sure, I would if I could

[Verse 1]
Baby, I was a fan of yours back before Retrica
I loved “Plákito”—I couldn’t get enough of it
Say hi to your mom; she’ll always be my mother-in-law
I hope you enjoyed your past
Because after me, there won’t be anyone else, nah
Baby, I’ve never forgotten you
And even though knowing this might put your mind at ease, baby
I’m certainly not going to forget

[Bridge]
Here I am, filling up all the notes on my phone
I ran out of paper for my pen
The neighbors complain about the noise, but I don’t care
It’s so nice seeing you in videos
It’s so nice seeing you happy
It’s so nice seeing you with me, oh
It’s so nice seeing you without me

[Chorus]
It’s been a thousand nights of thinking of you and lighting a candle
Baby, I don’t know what to say when my grandma asks about you
Baby, it’s been a thousand days seeing your magnet on the fridge

I’ve thought about taking it down—ha, sure, I would if I could

[Verse 2]
I bought a Rolex For Valentine’s Day, yeah
You say there’s no time left for you
But I don’t listen, baby; I’m stubborn and impulsive
I’ve got a good memory, but I don’t hold grudges
I got attached to the stone; I stumbled over it again—and again, and again
I want your friends to know
Twenty bottles at the club, just for you
There are a thousand men, a thousand women
We both know what makes you happy

[Interlude]
Let’s see—or not?
Or not? I don’t know
Sometimes I get confused, and I’m a jerk and don’t realize it, but
I’ll cherish the memories we made, you know?

[Chorus]
It’s been a thousand nights of thinking of you and lighting a candle
Baby, I don’t know what to say when my grandma asks about you
Baby, it’s been a thousand days of seeing your magnet on the fridge
I’ve thought about taking it down—ha, sure, I’d do it if I could
