Verse 1

There are things that I didn't give you

That still hurt me

I never wanted to leave

You asked me to fly

You asked me

I would kill for you

I loved you and defended you

But it wasn't in me

You asked me to fly

I dressed in gala

I gave you blood and sweat

I enjoyed you and suffered for you

Chorus 1

I hope that it goes well for you

Although without you I feel bad

Good thing that I left

Because you didn't treat me the same

You loved me and I loved you

But someone always gives more

Everything was like I dreamed it

Until it was time to wake up

I put a crown on you, you put wings on me

I didn't know they were only so that I'd go away

And I look at you now, you're still just as beautiful

That nobody is indispensable, life teaches you

Verse 2

A match lasts 90

And I gave you 93, more than needed

I never got tired of trying

This story was a legend

I prefer to die standing than live kneeling

I'll give my heart even if they return it damaged

Chorus 2

I hope that it goes well for you

Although without you I feel bad

Good thing that I left

Because you didn't treat me the same

You loved me and I loved you

But someone always gives more

Everything was like I dreamed it

Until it was time to wake up

Outro 1

You forgot about me

You left me aside

Without being able to decide

That's what hurts me the most

Outro 2

And though everything was like that

I'd happily come back

Once and even a thousand times

And you know it, Cibeles

Cibeles — Cybele

Cibeles refers to the Plaza de Cibeles, a famous square in Madrid with an iconic fountain. It's the traditional celebration spot for Real Madrid football club after winning a major trophy.

In this song, Sergio Ramos (a legendary former Real Madrid captain) personifies the fountain, singing directly to it as if it were a lover he's leaving. He ends the song with "Y tú lo sabes, Cibeles" (And you know it, Cibeles), making it a witness to his history and sacrifice for the club. This word is packed with deep cultural and emotional meaning.

CIBELES sounds like a heartbreak ballad, yet it is really Sergio Ramos’s love letter to Real Madrid and the famous Cibeles fountain where the club celebrates its trophies. The lyrics tell the story of a relationship in which he gave blood, sweat, and 93 minutes of passion, a wink at his legendary stoppage-time heroics. He put a crown on the team, but the team gave him wings that ultimately pushed him away. Even so, he looks back with pride, reminding us that a football match lasts 90 minutes, yet true devotion often goes far beyond the final whistle.

Under the romantic imagery lies a message about self-respect and moving on. Ramos admits the breakup hurts, but he chooses to “die on his feet” rather than live on his knees. With a bittersweet smile, he wishes Cibeles well, acknowledging that in every love story someone always gives a little more. The song captures the mix of glory, sacrifice, and nostalgia that defines both a great career and a great romance, making “CIBELES” an anthem for anyone who has ever loved something enough to leave part of their heart behind.
