Cartas Al Amor Lyrics in English by Manuel Medrano

Balcón means "balcony". While it might seem like a simple word, its appearance in this song is quite evocative and specific.

Manuel Medrano sings about sharing wine "junto a mi balcón" (next to my balcony). This detail paints a picture of intimacy and a shared, quiet moment, making the setting as important as the actions. It's a word that grounds the romantic imagery in a tangible, cozy space, making it memorable.

Manuel Medrano, an artist from Colombia, turns love into a collection of warm, intimate memories in “Cartas Al Amor” (“Letters to Love”). The singer wants to wake beside this person and see “el brillo de tus ojos” [the brightness in your eyes]. He misses the small details too, like finding their flowered dress in his room after sharing wine by the balcony. That detail makes the romance feel lived-in, not distant or perfect.

The song then grows wonderfully dreamy: “ir a bailar al cielo contigo” [to go dance in heaven with you] and “navegar en tu alma” [to sail through your soul] describe love as a place he can move through forever, listening to the other person’s heartbeat. He says every kiss taught him how to love and made him “escribirle cartas al amor” [write letters to love], a poetic way to say this relationship inspires his most romantic thoughts. He imagines every future with this person, even if time, air, the sea, and the sun disappear. It is a huge promise, perhaps a bit gloriously dramatic, but the message is simple: he wants every part of life to happen beside the person he loves.
