Cecilia Lyrics in English Juanes , Juan Luis Guerra 4.40

Home / Lyrics Translation / Juanes / Cecilia

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cecilia by Juanes from Spanish to English.

When we talk and fight

We go nowhere

We hurt each other

And more and more and more and more

We pull apart

How about we forget

That destructive rage

And start for now

Looking into each other's eyes

Forgetting the anger

Maybe like that everything gets better

I feel the air running out

If you stop being my girlfriend

And when I try to forget you

I think of you more and you won't leave

Cecilia, come dance with me

That your red sunsets

Are the delirium of my eyes

Cecilia, come dance with me

You can color my days

When you say that you love me

And put out my heart in flames

Sincere

This love for you is the best thing I have

If I could go back in time

I'd fall in love again the same

I feel the air running out

If you stop being my girlfriend

And when I try to forget you

I think of you more and you won't leave

Cecilia, come dance with me

That your red sunsets

Are the delirium of my eyes

Cecilia, come dance with me

You can color my days

When you say that you love me

And put out my heart in flames

You're my heaven, my soulmate

Being with you, babe, is worth it

You're my longing, my whole life

And when I try to forget you

I think of you more and you won't leave

Cecilia, come dance with me

That your red sunsets

Are the delirium of my eyes

Cecilia, come dance with me

You can color my days

When you say that you love me

And put out my heart in flames

Cecilia

Lere-lere-lere-le-le-le-le

Dance with me

Lere-lere-lere-le-le-le-le

Dance with me

Lere-lere-lere-le-le-le-le

Dance with me

SONG MEANING

Passionate pleas mixed with Caribbean rhythms fill this duet by Colombian star Juanes and Dominican legend Juan Luis Guerra 4.40. In the lyrics, the narrator admits that endless arguments with his beloved Cecilia only lead them in circles. Instead of letting anger poison their bond, he urges her to lock eyes with him, forget the fights, and literally dance the tension away. The repeated invitation “Cecilia, ven baila conmigo” is his playful remedy: movement, music, and togetherness can color their days, calm his corazón en llamas (heart in flames), and remind them why they fell in love in the first place.

At its core, the song is a joyful declaration that love is worth fighting for, not about. Even when separation feels like losing air, the singer sees Cecilia as soulmate, sky, and entire life. By blending upbeat bachata-pop grooves with tender confessions, Juanes and Guerra craft a feel-good anthem about leaving resentment on the sidelines, choosing forgiveness, and celebrating romance on the dance floor.
