Lyrics & Translation

“LAGUNAS” is a powerful entry point to modern Música Mexicana and the Corridos Tumbados subgenre, offering a blend of traditional instruments with Latin Trap undertones. By studying its lyrics, you can learn emotional Spanish phrases related to longing, heartbreak ('pena'), and introspection ('lagunas de mi mente'), as well as modern Spanish slang used by artists like Peso Pluma.

[English]

Tonight there’s a full moon,

bringing good energy

but there’s a sorrow,

that won’t let me be

Oh! That woman

I don’t see her due to withdrawal

from having her close,

I set a goal, from afar is better

Nooo! For me, this is for both of us

And I swim through the lagoons of my mind

that form from wanting to know what it feels like

To kiss your forehead again

Maybe in another galaxy, it was different

Maybe there we got what we always wanted

(Na na na)

(Na na na na)

I don’t see her due to withdrawal

from having her close,

I set a goal, from afar is better

Nooo! For me, this is for both of us

And I swim through the lagoons of my mind

that form from wanting to know what it feels like

To kiss your forehead again

Maybe in another galaxy, it was different

Maybe there we got what we always wanted

(Na na na…)

(Na na na na)

(Na na na na)

And that’s how it sounds, Jasiel Nuñez

And pure Doble P

Bye!

[Spanish]

Esta noche hay luna llena,

que dio energías buenas

pero hay una pena,

que no me deja ser

¡Ay! Esa mujer

No la veo por abstinencia

de tenerla cerca,

me puse una meta de lejos es mejor

¡Noooo! Por mi esto es por los dos

Y nado entre lagunas de mi mente

que se hacen por saber qué se siente

Volver a besar tu frente

Tal vez en otra galaxia si fue diferente

Tal vez ahí si se nos dió lo que quisimos siempre

(Na na na)

(Na na na na)

No la veo por abstinencia

de tenerla cerca,

me puse una meta de lejos es mejor

¡Noooo! Por mi esto es por los dos

Y nado entre lagunas de mi mente

que se hacen por saber qué se siente

Volver a besar tu frente

Tal vez en otra galaxia si fue diferente

Tal vez ahí si se nos dió lo que quisimos siempre

(Na na na...)

(Na na na na)

(Na na na na)

Y así suena, Jasiel Nuñez

Y pura Doble P

¡Chau!

Key Grammar Structures

• Esta noche hay luna llena

  ➔ Present tense of 'haber' used impersonally to express existence.

  ➔ The phrase 'hay' (from 'haber') means 'there is/are'. It introduces something that exists — in this case, 'a full moon'.

• No la veo por abstinencia de tenerla cerca

  ➔ Use of 'por' to express reason or cause.

  ➔ The phrase 'por abstinencia' explains the cause of not seeing her — 'because of abstinence' or 'due to staying away'.

• Me puse una meta

  ➔ Reflexive form of 'poner' in past tense to mean 'to set for oneself'.

  ➔ The reflexive 'me puse' (from 'ponerse') shows that the subject acts upon themselves — here, he sets a goal for himself.

• De lejos es mejor

  ➔ Comparative construction using 'mejor' (better) without a direct comparison.

  ➔ The phrase 'De lejos es mejor' implies something is better from afar, using implicit comparison to being close.

• Por mí esto es por los dos

  ➔ Use of 'por' to denote action done on behalf of someone.

  ➔ 'Por mí' means 'for me' or 'as far as I’m concerned'. The full phrase ‘Por mí esto es por los dos’ means ‘I’m doing this for both of us’.

• Y nado entre lagunas de mi mente

  ➔ Metaphorical use of 'nadar entre' with present tense verb imagery.

  ➔ The verb 'nado' (I swim) figuratively represents being lost in thoughts or emotions.

• Que se hacen por saber qué se siente

  ➔ Subjunctive 'se siente' inside a relative clause after expression of purpose ('por saber').

  ➔ ‘Qué se siente’ means ‘how it feels’. The reflexive structure with subjunctive expresses uncertainty or introspection.

• Tal vez en otra galaxia si fue diferente

  ➔ Use of 'Tal vez' (perhaps) introducing a hypothetical or counterfactual situation.

  ➔ ‘Tal vez en otra galaxia si fue diferente’ expresses a wistful idea that things could have worked out differently in another universe.
