Verse 1

I continue crossing rivers

Or: I keep crossing rivers

Walking through jungles

Loving the sun

Every day I continue removing thorns

Or: Every day I keep pulling / taking out thorns

From the depths of my heart

Or: From deep within the heart

At night, I continue lighting dreams

To cleanse with the sacred smoke

Every memory

When I write your name

On the white sand with a blue background

When I look at the sky

In the cruel form of a gray cloud

You appear

One afternoon, I climb a high hill

I look at the past

You'll know that I haven't forgotten you

Chorus 1

I carry you inside

To the root

And no matter how much I grow

You're going to be here

Although I hide behind the mountain

And I find a field full of sugarcane

There won't be a way, my ray of moonlight

That you leave

Or: For you to go away

Verse 2

I think that every moment

Survived while walking

And every second of uncertainty

Every moment of not knowing

They're the exact key to this fabric

That I'm carrying under my skin

That's how I protect you

You're still here inside

Chorus 2

I carry you inside

To the root

And no matter how much I grow

You're going to be here

Although I hide behind the mountain

And I find a field full of sugarcane

There won't be a way, my ray of moonlight

That you leave

Chorus 3

I carry you inside

To the root

And no matter how much I grow

You're going to be here

Although I hide behind the mountain

And I find a field full of sugarcane

There won't be a way, my ray of moonlight

That you leave

Chorus 4

I carry you inside

To the root

And no matter how much I grow

You're going to be here

Although I hide behind the mountain

And I find a field full of sugarcane

There won't be a way, my ray of moonlight

That you leave

SONG MEANING

Hasta La Raíz is Natalia Lafourcade’s heartfelt love letter to her roots and the indelible bonds that shape us. With images of rivers, jungles and sacred smoke, she paints a journey of self-discovery where every step forward pulls a thorn from the heart. No matter how far she wanders or how high she climbs, the memory of someone -or something- vital stays planted “hasta la raíz,” right down to the root. The song turns personal nostalgia into a universal anthem about carrying our origins within us, celebrating the way memories, culture and loved ones keep shining like a moonbeam that refuses to leave.

Wrapped in airy guitars and Latin folk rhythms, this alternative track feels like a warm breeze crossing the Mexican landscape. It invites listeners to honor their own stories: the doubts, the scars and the moments of wonder that weave an identity under the skin. “Hasta La Raíz” reminds us that growth does not mean forgetting; instead, it means letting our roots nourish every new branch we reach toward the sky.
