Cazzualidades Lyrics in English by Christian Nodal
Casualidades translates to "coincidences" or "chance encounters." It's a beautiful word that speaks to the unexpected twists of fate that bring people together.
In the context of the song, and especially given the title "Cazzualidades" (a play on words with his partner Cazzu's name and "casualidades"), this word perfectly encapsulates the theme of how love can arise from unforeseen circumstances. It suggests a romantic destiny, making it both intriguing and central to the song's message.
Christian Nodal leans right into total infatuation here. He starts off admitting he might not be Romeo, but he definitely found his Juliet ("Puede que no sea Romeo / Pero a mi Julieta quiero" [I might not be Romeo, but I want my Juliet]). The whole track revolves around a sudden, intoxicating romance that completely takes over his head. He even complains about his clock moving too slow because he is counting every second until he sees her again ("Desde lejos es testigo / El reloj que tanto miro / Porque no veo la hora pa' volver" [From afar, the clock I stare at so much is a witness, because I can't wait for the time to return]).
What makes the song fun is how specific the lyrics get. The title itself is a clever play on the word casualidades (coincidences) and the name of his real-life partner, Argentine artist Cazzu, whom he directly shouts out: "¿A Cazzu tú eres lo que buscaba? / Nah, tú eres mejor de lo que me tocaba" [Cazzu, are you what I was looking for? Nah, you are better than what I was due]. He pairs regional Mexican rhythms with Argentine flavor, singing about sharing kisses that taste like the bitter herbal liqueur Fernet under moonlight ("en los labios Fernet" [with Fernet on our lips]) and switching to the Argentine pronoun vos ("pa' hablar de vos" [to talk about you]). It is sweet, playful, and completely unbothered by how fast he fell.
