CONTENTS SUMMARY
Rosa Pastel (Pastel Pink)
Sí yo quería ser esa mujer
La madre de tus hijos
Y juntos caminar hacia el altar
Directo hacia la muerte
Yes, I wanted to be that woman
The mother of your children
And together walk towards the altar
Straight towards death

Belanova’s shimmering pop anthem "Rosa Pastel" paints love in cotton-candy colors only to tear the picture apart. From the very first line the Mexican trio sets up a fairy-tale scenario: the singer dreams of becoming the woman, mother of his children, and hand in hand they would walk to the altar. The sugary vision, sweet as pastel pink, seems flawless… until reality bites.

The chorus cracks the candy shell. The relationship crashes into disillusion, the couple destroys each other, and the promised superhero never shows up. Hunting for the missing "button to happiness," the narrator mocks honeymoon clichés and firmly walks away: I will forget you, you will forget me. Behind the catchy synths lies a bold message of self-empowerment. Swap pastel fantasies for real self-worth and give a confident hasta nunca to toxic love.

One, Two, Three, GO!
Sólo dime
Todo lo que sientes
Quiero que lo intentes
One, two, three, go!
Just tell me
Everything you feel
I want you to try
One, two, three, go!

Get ready for a love countdown! In “One, Two, Three, GO!” Belanova turns a simple playground chant into an energetic push for honesty. The singer urges her shy crush to drop the masks, close his eyes, and feel the truth she is already shouting: she only wants him. Every “one, two, three, go” acts like a starting pistol, challenging him to leap past his nerves and admit what his heart is saying.

Behind the catchy synth-pop beat, the lyrics paint a picture of playful insistence mixed with genuine vulnerability. She reassures him that fear is normal, but hiding feelings is not an option. All she asks is a sincere word and maybe a kiss, promising that once he speaks up, they can sprint together into a shared romance.

Cada Que... (Every...)
Siento que
Desde aquel momento que te vi
Descifré
Que nunca serías para mi
I feel that
Since that moment that I saw you
I figured out
That you'd never be for me

Cada Que... is a sparkling slice of Mexican electro-pop that dives into the dizzying mix of knowing someone is wrong for you while still feeling your pulse race every time they cross your mind. From the very first encounter, the singer senses that this romance is doomed, yet each thought of the other person “enciende mi corazón,” igniting her heart and stealing her breath. The lyrics juggle certainty (“conocerte fue mi error”) with irresistible attraction, capturing that universal tug-of-war between logic and longing.

As the song progresses, she confronts the painful truth: this love story has to stop because “no tiene caso,” it makes no sense. Still, nothing feels sadder than merely talking about him. Wrapped in Belanova’s upbeat synths and catchy melodies, the track turns heartbreak into a dance-floor confession, reminding us that sometimes the hardest battles are the ones we fight inside our own hearts.

No Me Voy A Morir (I'm Not Going To Die.)
¿Otra vez?
Hablando sola contra la pared
Aquí todo sigue normal
Veo la gente pasar por mi ventana
Again?
Talking to myself against the wall
Here everything remains normal
I see people passing by my window

Belanova’s synth-pop gem “No Me Voy A Morir” is a sparkling declaration of resilience. Over a shimmering beat, the singer admits she still talks to mirrors, watches the world from her window, and treasures old memories—but she quickly pivots to a bold promise: I’m not going to die, and I won’t change just because you’re gone. The track captures that bittersweet moment right after heartbreak when pain and empowerment collide.

Instead of drowning in sorrow, the lyrics turn everyday scenes—passing strangers, the moonlight, dusty letters—into reminders that life keeps moving. Yes, the heart sometimes “betrays” her with sudden pangs, yet every chorus resets the mood with confident defiance. The result is an uplifting anthem that tells learners (and anyone nursing a broken heart) that it is perfectly okay to feel hurt, as long as you also remember your own strength.

Nada Es Igual (Nothing Is Equal)
Hoy, suena el despertador a eso de las seis
Debo ir a trabajar y no estoy bien
Se terminó el café
¡No lo puedo creer!
Today, the alarm clock goes off around six
I have to go to work and I'm not okay
The coffee is finished
I can't believe it!

From the very first ring of the alarm at 6 a.m., the narrator’s day spirals into chaos: no coffee, no electricity, and a city full of gossip. Those tiny catastrophes provide a comic backdrop for a very real heartbreak. Every mishap whispers the same truth: life simply does not work when the person you love is gone.

Belanova turns this everyday disaster into an upbeat synth-pop confession. The singer longs for a reunion, dreaming of carefree trips to Paris and Madrid, yet she cannot even pay the light bill without her partner’s spark. The chorus keeps repeating the feeling: 'Desde que no estás, ya nada es igual.' Behind the playful melody lies a universal message for English learners: sometimes losing love makes the ordinary feel impossible, and only a heartfelt 'Vuelve a casa' can switch the lights back on.

Cásate Conmigo (Marry Me)
No necesito un collar de brillantes
No me hace falta una casa gigante
Ni andar montada sobre un elefante
Solo quiero que me ames
I don't need a diamond necklace
I don't need a giant house
Nor to ride on an elephant
I just want you to love me

Belanova’s electro-pop invitation to love strips away every material distraction. Diamonds, mansions, luxury coats—none of it matters to the singer, who cheerfully rejects grandiose gifts and even jokes about skipping paperwork. Instead, she dreams of a simple ceremony by the river, pockets empty yet heart overflowing, trusting that kisses and moonlit serenades will be more valuable than any fortune.

“Cásate Conmigo” celebrates love at its purest: spontaneous, genuine, and free from social expectations. Belanova assures her partner that without expensive rings or formalities, their connection can still shine brighter than any jewel. It’s an upbeat reminder that true commitment isn’t measured in pesos or possessions—just in two hearts daring to choose each other.

Mariposas (Butterflies)
Mariposas dentro de mi cuerpo
Todo es movimiento, yo soy movimiento
Mira como gira el universo
Eso es lo que siento, eso es lo que siento
Butterflies inside my body
Everything is movement, I am movement
Look how the universe spins
That's what I feel, that's what I feel

Mariposas launches us straight into the dizzy thrill of new love, swapping tired clichés for butterflies and asteroids that swirl inside the singer’s body. Belanova turns herself into a living galaxy where everything is in motion, refusing to “detener” or slow down. The cosmic imagery captures that fluttery, unstoppable rush when feelings first ignite—every spin of the universe mirrors the spin in her chest.

Instead of fearing the unknown, she embraces it: “No tengo miedo de explotar.” She wants to fly over your skin, navigate a dream, and let passion decide the route. The message is clear and uplifting—surrender to the adventure, trust the momentum, and enjoy the ride together, wherever it leads.

Me Pregunto (I Wonder)
Camino por la ciudad
Mirando al cielo
La lluvia me hace pensar
Que tú estás lejos
I walk through the city
Looking at the sky
The rain makes me think
That you're far away

Ever wandered a bustling city only to feel completely alone? That bittersweet mood fuels Belanova’s electro-pop gem “Me Pregunto.” Over shimmery synths, the singer drifts through rain-soaked streets, scanning every face and storefront for a trace of the person who left. Crowds rush past, taxis splash puddles, yet every billboard and raindrop seems to whisper that missing name. The chorus repeats a simple question—“¿Por qué?”—capturing that loop of thoughts when love vanishes without explanation.

Behind the catchy beat lies a tender portrait of longing, confusion, and hope. Our narrator is stuck in time, standing in the exact spot where memories still glow, convinced she almost sees her lover around every corner. It’s a relatable snapshot of post-breakup denial: the city keeps moving, but your heart presses pause. Whether you’re practicing Spanish or just vibing to Belanova’s signature synth sparkle, “Me Pregunto” turns urban loneliness into a danceable sigh—perfect for anyone who’s ever chased a memory through the rain.

Baila Mi Corazón (Dance My Heart)
Lo nuestro no es un juego
Lo puedo descifrar
En la ruleta del amor
Hay que ganar
Our thing is not a game
I can decipher it
In the roulette of love
You have to win

“Baila Mi Corazón” de la banda mexicana Belanova convierte el enamoramiento en una pista de baile repleta de luces de neón y emociones altas. La cantante apuesta todo por un amor que, según ella, no es un simple juego: es una ruleta que piensa ganar, sin importar lo que opinen los demás. El corazón marca el ritmo, los cuerpos se mueven y ambos amantes se elevan como si pudieran volar.

El estribillo -“Baila mi corazón, baila para los dos”- se repite como un hechizo que confirma la certeza de que esto es amor. La piel fluorescente del ser querido ilumina la oscuridad, la luna y las estrellas se convierten en cómplices, y la felicidad solo existe cuando están juntos en esta fiesta íntima. En pocas palabras, la canción celebra la valentía de amar sin miedo, la magia de compartir un mismo latido y la alegría de bailar hasta que el corazón lo dicte.

Tus Ojos (Your Eyes)
Viendo tus ojos
Puedo descifrar el universo
El viento suave, el azul del cielo
Al fin lo entiendo
Seeing your eyes
I can decipher the universe
The gentle wind, the blue of the sky
Finally I understand

“Tus Ojos” is Belanova’s dreamy love letter to the way someone’s gaze can transform the entire cosmos. When the singer looks into her partner’s eyes, everyday details—the soft wind, the blue sky—suddenly reveal their hidden magic. It is as if the universe flashes its secrets in those irises, reminding her that life spins on and death will come, yet everything feels weightless because they are together.

The chorus turns this feeling into a mini-big-bang of emotion: in her lover’s arms, time disappears and the past and future collapse into a single, radiant now. With each repeated “hoy te amo,” the song anchors itself in the present moment, celebrating a love so intense that it rewrites reality itself. Listening to “Tus Ojos” is like stepping into a glittering pop nebula where the only law of physics is love’s ability to reinvent the universe.
