Verse 1

You know that loving me has always been just a game

You say I love you and I don't believe you

Because ours has never been good love

Nuestro translates directly to 'our' but 'Lo nuestro' is often used to indirectly mean 'our relationship'

I only know how to suffer

Chorus 1

You think that I walk in your poison

But you forget that I don't walk

That I've learned to fly, fly, fly

That I don't walk

That I've learned to fly

Verse 2

You won't be my addiction

Because alone I'm better

You were a fleeting star

Chorus 2

You think that I walk in your poison

But you forget that I don't walk

That I've learned to fly, fly, fly

That I don't walk

That I've learned to fly

Verse 3

And fly

Alone, without you I learned to fly

I learned to fly

Did you like this lyrics translation?

estrella fugaz — shooting star

Estrella fugaz literally translates to "fleeting star", which is the beautiful Spanish phrase for a shooting star.

In this empowering song, Lele Pons uses the term metaphorically to describe a past lover who burned brightly but disappeared quickly from her life. It perfectly captures the essence of a short-lived romance and is a fantastic piece of poetic vocabulary to add to your Spanish toolkit.

"Volar" is all about cutting ties with someone toxic and realizing you are much better off on your own. Lele Pons, joined by Susan Díaz and Victor Cardenas, calls out a partner who treated love like a sport: "Sabes que amarme siempre ha sido solo un juego" ("You know that loving me has always just been a game"). When they say "lo nuestro nunca ha sido amor del bueno" ("what we had was never good love"), they are using the everyday Spanish phrase amor del bueno to describe genuine, healthy romance—the kind this relationship clearly lacked.

The real punch comes in the chorus. The ex expects them to suffer, thinking "yo camino en tu veneno" ("I walk in your poison"), but the lyrics flip that completely: "olvidas que no camino / Que yo he aprendido a volar" ("you forget that I don't walk / That I have learned to fly"). Dismissing the old flame as nothing more than a "fuiste estrella fugaz" ("you were a shooting star") that quickly burned out, the song turns a breakup into pure freedom. Flying above the drama beats walking through someone else's mess every single time.
