Puedes Contar Conmigo Lyrics in English La Oreja de Van Gogh

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Puedes Contar Conmigo by La Oreja de Van Gogh from Spanish to English.
A coffee with salt
Wanting to cry
My world starting to shake
It senses that the end is coming
I don't want to win
Now what does that even matter
I'm already tired of making up
Excuses that don't know how to walk
And only
The good moments from yesterday will remain
That belonged to us both
And today I only want to believe
That you'll remember
The winter afternoons in Madrid
Whole nights without sleeping
Life went by and I felt
That I was going to die of love
When I saw you waiting at my doorway
Sitting on the ground without thinking
That you can count on me
There was never any malice
Only naivety
Pretending to make us believe
That the world was at our feet
When sleep comes for me
In silence I'm going to build
A life in full color
Where we two live together
And only
The good moments from yesterday will remain
That belonged to us both
And today I only want to believe
That you'll remember
The winter afternoons in Madrid
Whole nights without sleeping
Life went by and I felt
That I was going to die of love
When I saw you waiting at my doorway
Sitting on the ground without thinking
That you can count on me forever
And I can't help
Missing you while you take
Time's hand and walk away
I feel that I want to see you and see you and I think
That you'll remember
The winter afternoons in Madrid
Whole nights without sleeping
Life went by and I felt
That I was going to die of love
When I saw you waiting at my doorway
Sitting on the ground without thinking
That you can count on me
That you'll remember
The winter afternoons in Madrid
Whole nights without sleeping
Life goes by and I'm dying
I'm dying for you

SONG MEANING

Feel the bittersweet heartbeat of a love that once painted Madrid in bright colors. In “Puedes Contar Conmigo” singer Leire Martínez (fronting the Spanish pop band La Oreja de Van Gogh) looks back on a relationship that is ending, yet refuses to let the sadness erase the magic they shared. Over a cup of salty coffee and shaky emotions, she relives carefree winter afternoons, sleepless nights, and that unforgettable moment of seeing her partner waiting at her doorstep. The chorus’s promise—“puedes contar conmigo” (“you can count on me”)—turns the song into a warm hug, reminding us that true affection does not vanish even when romance fades.

Behind the catchy melody lies a story of nostalgia, unconditional support, and personal growth. The narrator admits the innocence of young love, accepts that their “world at their feet” was an illusion, and dreams of building a new life filled with color. Still, every memory pulls her back to the streets of Madrid where she once felt she would “die of love.” It is a gentle anthem for anyone who has loved deeply, lost gracefully, and still chooses kindness over bitterness.
