Simplemente Gracias Lyrics in English Calibre 50
Trigo literally means "wheat". While it might seem strange to call a person this, it's a beautiful and poetic metaphor in this song.
In the lyrics, the singer lists the things his partner is to him: "mi razón, mi paz, mi sol, mi trigo" (my reason, my peace, my sun, my wheat). By comparing her to wheat, a staple food source, he expresses that she is his sustenance and is essential for his survival. It’s a truly unique term of endearment that shows the depth of his love.
Have you ever lost track of time in someone’s company? “Simplemente Gracias” is Calibre 50’s joyful confession of exactly that feeling. The singer marvels at how fate (or maybe heaven) finally let him find a partner who sees the world through a bright, positive lens. He’s enchanted by every detail—lunares (beauty marks), scars, and an infectious smile—so much that he promises to remember her true self if she ever forgets. Backed by the group’s trademark accordion and bajo quinto, the song feels like a personal serenade straight from the heart of Mexico.
The second half is a vow of lifelong protection and gratitude. The narrator boldly claims he would invent her if she didn’t exist, cure every fear that haunts her, and even steal the stars for her if the night sky looks too empty. These vivid promises turn ordinary thank-yous into heroic gestures, painting love as both tender and epic. In the end, the message is beautifully simple: “You are my reason, my peace, my sun, my harvest—thank you, simply, for staying by my side.”
