Lyrics & Translation

Learning a language through music is a fantastic way to connect with its culture, and Beéle's "quédate" is a perfect starting point for Spanish learners. The song's clear and repetitive chorus, centered around the essential verb "quedarse" (to stay), provides a practical and memorable lesson in expressing longing and desire. The emotional weight of the lyrics offers a deep dive into the passionate nature of Latin music, making the learning process both engaging and culturally enriching.

[English] How do I explain to my heart that you want to leave
If you're unsure, mami, I'm not lying to you
Look in my eyes while my soul undresses
The eyes you see right when I'm coming
How I wish you were here
Feeling me right beside you
So you'd see I can't pretend, I could die for your kisses
How I wish you were here
Feeling me right beside you
So you'd see I can't pretend, I could die for your kisses
Come, stay, stay
I can't be without you
Stay, stay
I can't be without you

Stay, I can't be without you
This one right here doesn't want to let you go
This one right here also gets carried away
We're meant to celebrate Christmas together
This never made sense, we defied universal law
What a trip, damn crazy journey
Tell me how we avoid the signs
Sometimes I wish it wouldn't stop
But this will kill me
I want to see what she answers, she won't even say "hi"
And me here damn idle
Thinking of all the nights we spent alone together
Ignoring everything else
Going wild with a fill-in, we're kings of the waves
I'm facing your soul, please Ma, let me in
Help me understand there's no one else
And if I stay with you, it's 'cause you're incredible
Come, stay, stay
I can't be without you
Stay, stay
I can't be without you
Stay, stay

I can't be without you
Stay
I can't be without you
