Nunca Te Olvidaré Lyrics in English by Enrique Iglesias

Secarse is a reflexive verb that literally translates to 'to dry up' or 'to wither', much like a plant deprived of water.

In this passionate song, Enrique Iglesias sings, "Puede secarse mi alma" (My soul could dry up). He uses this dramatic metaphor to declare that even if his very spirit withers away, his memories of this love will remain forever.

Spanish pop star Enrique Iglesias goes completely over the top with devotion in this track, making an absolute, non-negotiable vow that he will never forget his former love. He lists extreme scenarios to prove his point: "Pueden pasar tres mil años" (Three thousand years can pass), "Puedo morirme mañana" (I could die tomorrow), and "Pueden borrar mi memoria" (They can erase my memory). Even if the other person moves on and kisses someone else—"Puedes besar otros labios" (You can kiss other lips)—or tries to deny the past, his memory stays locked in place.

The chorus hits you with rapid-fire questions about specific memories that are impossible to erase. He remembers her smile, her gaze, and her wild side with "¿Cómo olvidar tus locuras?" (How to forget your crazy antics?). In Spanish, locuras often refers to fun, unpredictable, or playful behavior rather than actual madness. He even confesses to praying she would not leave ("rezaba para que no te marcharas"), ultimately admitting with zero hesitation that he loves her more than life itself ("Más que a vivir, más que a nada").
