Ayer Lyrics in English Enrique Iglesias
Capricho translates to "whim" or "caprice". It describes a sudden, impulsive desire for something without a good reason, often seen as a fleeting or frivolous fancy.
In the song, Enrique Iglesias is desperate for reassurance from his lost love. He pleads, "Di que no es locura ni obsesión / Que no es capricho" (Say it's not madness nor obsession / That it's not a whim), hoping their connection is profound and real, not just a passing feeling.
Ayer paints the picture of two lovers standing at an emotional crossroads. Enrique Iglesias, the Spanish king of pop ballads, sings from the perspective of someone who never stopped believing in the relationship. He watches his partner drift away, asking “Hey, dime a dónde vas?” as if hoping that simply voicing the question might lead her back. Even though an adiós was spoken, the singer’s door — and heart — have stayed wide open, glowing under the same moonlight that once brought them together.
The song captures that bittersweet moment when regret meets possibility. Enrique reassures us that their love “no está acabado,” inviting his lost partner to admit her feelings and step out of the corner where she has hidden them. Ayer is therefore a story of hope wrapped in nostalgia: a gentle reminder that some goodbyes are only pauses, and that yesterday’s love can still find its way into today.
