Cristina Lyrics in English Sebastián Yatra , TINI

Home / Lyrics Translation / Sebastián Yatra / Cristina

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cristina by Sebastián Yatra from Spanish to English.

Among so many people I saw you arrive

Something in fate made me say hello

I told you my name and I don't know where

How you answer me with a kiss

You only cared that I treated you well

You 19 and me 23

And I started my plans to see each other again

And if I could show you

That being together there's nothing missing anymore

And that in spite of the distance I'm going to love you

You only have to know

That I would like to stay

And even though I shouldn't, I only want to call you

That we repeat the stories over and over, I don't know

How do I ask you to fall in love?

When in the end I'm not going to be there when you cry

How do I ask you to get your hopes up?

And cut our distance with songs

How do I ask you? If in the end I'm not going to be there

When I fall in love with you

I remember everything you liked

And your shirt that reaches your feet

That little face when I sang to you for the first time

I take everything and I take nothing

Without you there's nothing, I left you everything

I know it's too soon for these words, but I'll say them

Like your hand and my hand at night don't feel cold

Without you the hours go by, but with empty days

Like in Marbella the waves, you were beautiful and alone

And I miss you and miss you, but I call you and I forget it

Like I love you and love you, but this love is no longer mine

I know that your mouth and my mouth when they meet there's trouble

How I'd like to stay, but right now you're not with me

Life always goes by, but it doesn't go by with you

How do I ask you to fall in love?

When in the end I'm not going to be there when you cry

How do I ask you to get your hopes up?

And cut our distance with songs

How do I ask you? If in the end I'm not going to be there

When I fall in love with you

How do I ask you to fall in love?

When in the end I'm not going to be there when you cry

How do I ask you to get your hopes up?

And cut our distance with songs

How do I ask you? If in the end I'm not going to be there

When I fall in love with you

And even if I'm somewhere else

I'm happier because I was able to find you

And even though I don't have the certainty of seeing you again

This song is yours

Remember me

Among so many people I saw you arrive

Something in fate made me say hello

I told you my name and I don't know where

How you answer me with a kiss

SONG MEANING

“Cristina” is a duet that feels like reading the pages of a summer-love diary. Sebastián Yatra and TINI paint the moment two strangers lock eyes in a crowd, trade names, and seal their hello with a kiss. He is 23, she is 19, and in that instant the world shrinks to the space between them. The song captures the giddy rush of young love – the late-night calls, the memories of oversized shirts, and the soundtrack of waves in Marbella – while hinting at the bittersweet truth that distance will soon pull them apart.

But “Cristina” is more than a postcard of romance; it is a confession of impossible timing. The narrator keeps asking himself how he can request her heart when he cannot promise to be there every time she cries. Music becomes his only bridge across the miles, a way to “recortar nuestra distancia con canciones” – trimming their separation with songs. In the end he chooses honesty over possession, gifting her this song as a keepsake. It is a tender reminder that some connections, though brief, leave melodies that echo long after the summer ends.
