Nunca Es Suficiente Lyrics in English by Natalia Lafourcade

Vagabundas is a beautiful, poetic word that literally means "vagrant" or "roaming", but is used here to mean "wandering". It's a unique and evocative choice that you won't hear in every song.

Natalia Lafourcade sings about "ilusiones vagabundas" ("wandering illusions"), creating a vivid image of the fleeting, superficial attractions her partner chases. This single word perfectly captures the heartbreaking contrast between her deep, unconditional love and his flighty, uncommitted nature.

Mexican singer-songwriter Natalia Lafourcade hits you right in the chest with "Nunca Es Suficiente", a pop rock track that exposes the messy pain of giving total devotion to someone who treats love like a casual pastime. Right from the opening hook, she admits her bottomless craving: "Nunca es suficiente para mí / Porque siempre quiero más de ti" [It's never enough for me / Because I always want more of you]. Her devotion is massive and unconditional, but the person she loves is so used to receiving affection ("Acostumbrado estás tanto al amor" [You are so accustomed to love]) that they take it completely for granted. Even worse, she admits that she still wants them close despite knowing the harm it causes: "Aunque me haces mal te quiero aquí" [Even though you hurt me, I want you here].

The real sting comes in the chorus, where she calls out their habit of chasing empty flings. She describes them running off and "jugando a enamorar / Todas las ilusiones vagabundas que se dejan alcanzar" [playing at making people fall in love / With all the wandering daydreams that let themselves be caught]. Here, "ilusiones vagabundas" refers to fleeting, aimless romantic fantasies or casual partners who drift along without real commitment. Meanwhile, her heart is on the verge of breaking into a thousand pieces ("¿Cómo evitar que se fracture en mil?" [How to keep it from fracturing into a thousand pieces?]). By the end, she delivers a cool, devastating promise: because of all the tears they caused, this flighty partner will eventually fade away into nothing more than a lost memory ("Te perderás dentro de mis recuerdos" [You will get lost inside my memories]).
