Bachata En Fukuoka Lyrics in English Juan Luis Guerra

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bachata En Fukuoka by Juan Luis Guerra from Spanish to English.
Tell the morning that my dream is near
That what is awaited with patience is achieved
Nine hours to Paris I traveled without knowing it
And I crossed through Russia with a layover in your mouth
I sang your bachata here in Fukuoka
And a sunset painted the sky like canvas
I walked Momochi beach, my yearning
And a smile escaped from my soul
Here it taught me
I sang your bachata here in Fukuoka
To dance with you
My tune cheers up
I want to sing with you
A bachata in Fukuoka
A bachata in Fukuoka
In the sea the seagulls
With your skin for warmth
To live bachata in Fukuoka
And the time came to leave and say sayonara
And a little dove perched on my window
To dance with you
My tune cheers up
I want to sing with you
A bachata in Fukuoka
A bachata in Fukuoka
Dreams, of sand in the waves
Kisses, your mouth gave me
I've got stars and roses
Girl, singing in Fukuoka
To dance with you
My tune cheers up
I want to sing with you
A bachata in Fukuoka
A bachata in Fukuoka
In the sea the seagulls
With your skin for warmth
To live bachata in Fukuoka

SONG MEANING

“Bachata en Fukuoka” is a joyful postcard from Juan Luis Guerra’s travels, proving that music can leap oceans and languages. The Dominican singer imagines flying from Paris, skimming over Russia, then landing in the Japanese city of Fukuoka, all while carrying the tropical rhythm of bachata in his heart. Each stop on the trip paints a vivid picture: sunsets that turn the sky into a canvas, seagulls gliding over Momochihama Beach, and a spontaneous smile that escapes “del alma” (from the soul). The song celebrates how patience turns dreams into reality and how a simple melody can connect two people—even if they meet only long enough to dance, sing, and whisper “sayonara.”

At its core, the track blends wanderlust, romance, and cultural fusion. Guerra invites his listener-partner to sway to Dominican guitar riffs beneath Japanese skies, showing that love and rhythm speak louder than any passport stamp. “Bachata en Fukuoka” reminds us that every goodbye hides the promise of another song—and that the warmth of a dance can make even far-off places feel like home.
