La Promesa Lyrics in English Melendi

Home / Lyrics Translation / Melendi / La Promesa

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Promesa by Melendi from Spanish to English.

I promise you that I

I'll be the one that guards your dreams

And when you're awake

The one that helps you have them

I promise you a naked moon

That will witness our madness

That at the end of our days

A shadow will shade us

That I won't cut more flowers just to deck out others

That you'll mistake your hands for mine

I promise you, love, that you're the loveliest

That I've seen in my life

I could promise you the world

You promise me a dawn

So I can sing to you like Compay Segundo

While you dance for me like Lady Gaga

I promise you, love, that only

I have in mind to ask you for one night

Because I won't need more than 'Muelle de San Blás'

Playing in our car

If you give me the chance, sweetheart

For us to kiss alone

Your life will be a song

I promise you that I

I'll never make you a promise

That I don't intend to keep

I'll never leave with a French exit

I promise you a naked moon

That will witness our madness

That at the end of our days

A shadow will shade us

That I won't cut more flowers just to deck out others

That you'll mistake your hands for mine

I promise you, love, that you're the loveliest

That I've seen in my life

I could promise you the world

You promise me a dawn

So I can sing to you like Compay Segundo

While you dance for me like Lady Gaga

I promise you, love, that only I

Have in mind to ask you for one night

Because I won't need more than 'Muelle de San Blás'

Playing in our car

If you give me the chance, sweetheart

For us to kiss alone

Your life will be a song

Because when a man loves a woman

He knows it from the instant he sees her

And it doesn't matter if something fails or

Whose hand she's holding

If she laughs or if she's silent

Because when a man loves a woman

It's as if he started to feel

That he's been asleep for a while

Thinking that he was alive

I promise you that with you

To grow old

SONG MEANING

La Promesa is Melendi’s playful yet deeply romantic vow of lifelong devotion. Throughout the lyrics he stacks one promise after another: caring for his partner’s dreams, sharing dawn serenades inspired by Compay Segundo, and dancing together with the carefree energy of Lady Gaga. Instead of grandiose riches, he offers intimate moments – a naked moon as witness to their “locura,” a simple car radio playing by the pier of San Blás, and the comforting certainty that their hands will become indistinguishable from each other’s. The Spanish singer paints love as an adventure where the smallest details (a flower, a song, a quiet kiss) matter more than any extravagant gift.

Beneath the playful references lies a core message: true love is honest, constant, and humble. Melendi promises never to make promises he cannot keep, never to slip away “a la francesa,” and to grow old together while turning life itself into one long melody. In short, La Promesa celebrates the everyday magic of a relationship built on sincerity, shared dreams, and the joyful certainty that when a man loves a woman, he knows it from the very first moment.
