Mi Código Postal Lyrics in English Melendi

Home / Lyrics Translation / Melendi / Mi Código Postal

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mi Código Postal by Melendi from Spanish to English.

I've come back to the city

The one that saw me be born

I'm already back now

Nothing's the same

I remember it very well

And yet I'm

just another foreigner

Because you

Because you're not here anymore

Nobody needs to tell me that

I notice it in the city

The leaves in our park no longer wait for autumn

It's full of signs

banning everything

When you were here they weren't like that

At least I never saw them

Our spirit was a leader

It didn't believe in the impossible

No matter how many streets I walk I get nowhere

I found out while wandering

that having a destiny is more a motive than the where and when

How could I take so long to realize something that's so clear

Only where you are is my home

And the light of your gaze is my zip code

Only where you are is my home

Only where you are

It feels like it was yesterday

the day that I left

And more than 20 years have already gone by

But I still remember well

the smell of your skin

and the honey of your lips

But you, but you're not here anymore

And I've heard that people in the neighborhood say

that they don't think you'll come back anymore

They say that you keep painting

that portrait from a memory

that you made of me when we were little with a 6 and a 4

And later at the university

you asked me to pose again

You put some pearl earrings and your shoes on me

We couldn't stop laughing and I was dying of embarrassment

Even though I know I'd have done

anything for you no matter how crazy and absurd it seemed

because it was in that instant, that moment when I realized

Only where you are is my home

And the light of your gaze is my zip code

Only where you are is my home

Only where you are

and everything ended before it began

since you can't cover the sun with one finger

Maybe in another life

you can love me

because in this one I know

that you've come only to fly

Only where you are is my home

And the light of your gaze is my zip code

Only where you are is my home

Only where you are

SONG MEANING

Imagine stepping back into your childhood town expecting warm familiarity, only to feel like a tourist. That is exactly what Melendi narrates in “Mi Código Postal.” The singer wanders the streets that once shaped him, yet every corner whispers that something vital is missing: her. Without the person he loves, park leaves fall out of season, new “no-entry” signs pop up everywhere, and even playful memories feel foreign. He realizes that a place is not defined by buildings or postcodes but by the eyes that greet him. Her gaze, not a map, is his true GPS.

The song then flips through a scrapbook of memories: childhood drawings, university photo sessions, shared laughter, and shy blushes. These flashbacks underline one heartfelt discovery — home lives wherever she is. No physical address will ever feel complete until their paths cross again. The track blends nostalgia with acceptance, hinting that perhaps in another life their timing will align. For now, Melendi leaves us with a sweet lesson: sometimes finding your way means realizing that love, not geography, hands you your real zip code.
