Verse 1

The moon is alone

She had a planet and the hours passed

She wasn't the only one in her sea

And it's that loving is difficult when there's someone else

Venus told her

You don't deserve that they do that to you

How can he make you cry

And forget that you're the one that makes him shine?

When the sun hides, he looks at her from afar

At night they met and even if she doesn't want to see him

It's difficult when there's so much gravity

It's something that she can't avoid

Chorus 1

Basically here we are both

The moon is me, the planet is you

And you've been spinning, looking for a light

Probably the sun will rise again

But here I am, because here you are

You stay spinning, waiting for my light

Verse 2

As if it were normal

We tried and it's wrong

Because you're not capable of giving me a kiss and not leaving

Now you don't even need to be alone

You miss me, you write 'Hello'

And it's your fault if it gets out of control

But you ask me for space

We already tried, and the space remained empty

With you and the stars, I can't go slowly

With me, you crash, like a madman I save you

When I saw you among people, I suddenly understood

That we aren't so different

Chorus 2

Basically here we are both

The moon is me, the planet is you

And you've been spinning, looking for a light

Probably the sun will rise again

But here I am, because here you are

You stay spinning, waiting for my light

SONG MEANING

Picture a cosmic love story where gravity is really just attraction in disguise. In “Básicamente,” Colombian pop star Sebastián Yatra compares himself to the Moon and his partner to a wandering planet. The Moon (Yatra) shines steadily, yet watches the planet circle restlessly, looking for light elsewhere. Every time the planet feels lost, it drifts back into the Moon’s glow, sparking questions about loyalty, boundaries, and why saying “Hola” can send emotions into orbit.

Yatra’s lyrics explore the push-and-pull of a relationship that can’t quite find equilibrium. He sings about the joy of illuminating someone’s world, but also the frustration of being taken for granted. The space imagery—Venus giving advice, the Sun setting, the night sky thick with gravity—highlights how hard it is to break free from familiar orbits. Ultimately, the song reminds us that real love means shining for ourselves first, not just reflecting someone else’s light.
