Hasta El Fin Del Mundo – Ela Taubert Lyric Translation
Y si hoy se acabara el mundo
And if the world ended today
A tu lado quiero estar
I want to be by your side
Fingir que nada malo va a pasar
Pretending that nothing bad is going to happen
Y aunque tenga mucho miedo
And even though I’m very afraid
A tu lado me da igual
By your side, it doesn’t matter to me
Si estoy contigo no hace falta más
If I’m with you, I don’t need anything else
Entre más te quiero
The more I love you
Más me da miedo
The more afraid I become
Sé que me perdería
I know I would lose myself
Si un día te pierdo

Y siempre rezo
And I always pray
Cuando estás lejos

What Makes This Song So Relatable?
Most love songs focus on happiness.
This song focuses on something deeper:
The fear of losing someone you love.
The narrator isn’t afraid of the end of the world.
She’s afraid of a world where that person isn’t there.
That’s why lines like:
“Entre más te quiero, más me da miedo”
feel so powerful.
The more we love someone, the more vulnerable we become.
