Quito (English Translation) Lyrics
I don’t know what we did.
What lovely kisses, but we never saw each other again.
I clung to her memory and her cuddles.
We were nothing, but I miss what we used to be.
(What if she were your ex?)
Houston, we have a problem.
My ex has gotten hotter now.
And seeing her sad burns me.
Now what do we do with her clothes and her sadness?
I’ll take it away from her.
For a kiss from her, I’ll go back to Quito.
Even if it’s just to see her for a little while.
I just want her back, I want her back.
We weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend.
But that we loved each other, that’s more than obvious.
An almost something that took almost everything from me.
It hurts for what could have been, but whatever.
(I’m still going to say that…)
Houston, we have a problem.
My ex has gotten hotter now.
And seeing her sad burns me.
Now what do we do with her clothes and her sadness?
I’ll take it away
For a kiss from her, I’ll return to Quito
Even if it’s just to see her for a little while
I just want her back, I want her back
I’ll take it away
Without you, it’s much colder in Quito
It hurt me, but I’ll repeat it anyway
I just want her back, I want her back
Where are you?
I haven’t forgotten you yet
I want to go back, even if it’s just for a day
Where are you?
I just want you back, I want you back
I’ll take it away
For a kiss from her, I’ll return to Quito
Even if it’s just to see her for a little while
I just want her back, I want her back
I’ll take it away
Without you, it’s much colder in Quito
It hurt me, but I’ll repeat it anyway
I just want her back, I want her back
Where are you?
I haven’t forgotten you yet
I want to go back, even if it’s just for a day
Where are you?
I just want you back, I want you back
Quito Lyrics Meaning
[Verse 1]
Alex Ponce opens with reflection and confusion, acknowledging the passion shared with someone who is no longer in his life. Despite not having an official relationship, he is still emotionally tied to the memories and affection they shared. The lines reveal a sense of unfinished business and lingering attachment, emphasizing the emotional weight of a “casi algo”—a connection that wasn’t defined but deeply felt.
[(¿Y si fuera tu ex?)]
This interlude introduces a rhetorical and playful twist. The speaker imagines the impact of an ex returning, implying unresolved feelings and reignited attraction. It sets the tone for the emotional contradiction that follows—desire mixed with regret and confusion.
[Verse 2]
Using the metaphor “Houston, tenemos un problema,” Alex introduces humor and drama to the emotional crisis. Seeing his ex looking even better now deepens the sense of loss and internal conflict. He’s torn between the pain of seeing her sad and the lingering intimacy they shared. The mention of her clothes and pain highlights how the remnants of their past are still physically and emotionally present.
[Chorus]
In the chorus, Alex expresses how far he would go for even a moment with her again—even returning to Quito. The repetition of “yo se la quito” plays on both romantic and metaphorical levels, reflecting his willingness to relieve her of pain and reconnect physically and emotionally. The chorus captures his desperation and longing, making it the emotional core of the song.
[Verse 3]
Here, Alex acknowledges the absence of an official relationship while validating the authenticity of their feelings. The line about being “un casi algo” that took away “casi todo” speaks to the deep impact of incomplete love. The heartbreak doesn’t stem from what was—but from what could have been.
[(Igual voy a decir que…)]
This short transition hints at denial and the urge to rewrite the narrative, suggesting he may still try to rationalize or minimize the situation, even though the emotional damage remains.
[Verse 4]
Reiterating the earlier metaphor, this verse brings the emotional stakes higher. Alex again sees his ex, her beauty now mixed with sadness, sparking unresolved guilt and longing. The symbolic return to Quito represents both physical distance and emotional disconnection, with the repeated phrase “yo se la quito” again stressing his desire to fix what’s broken—if only for a moment.
[Verse 5]
This version of the chorus adds a deeper layer of pain. The coldness of Quito without her reflects emotional emptiness. Despite knowing it hurt, he admits he would still repeat the experience, underlining the irrational pull of love and memory. The contrast between warmth and coldness ties back to her absence, showing how essential she was to his emotional world.
[Verse 6]
A raw and vulnerable plea emerges as Alex wonders where she is. He confesses he hasn’t been able to forget her, and even a single day together would be enough. This yearning becomes more desperate, showing how time has not healed but instead preserved his longing.
[Verse 7]
The final chorus and verses revisit all the song’s central emotions—devotion, heartbreak, nostalgia, and unresolved love. Each repetition strengthens the emotional gravity. By ending on the same repeated lines, Alex conveys how he’s stuck in this cycle of remembering, wanting, and hoping—unable to move on from a love that never fully was but continues to feel real.
