Dias & Noches Perdidas
Days that blurred into nights, nights that dissolved into memory. Los de Morelia counts the hours love has taken and finds the ledger beautiful.
About the Song
Dias & Noches Perdidas is an original composition by Los de Morelia, the contemporary Mexican ensemble whose name evokes the colonial city of Morelia, Michoacán — the heart of traditional Mexican culture and the UNESCO-recognized cradle of mariachi's precursor traditions. The song blends norteño sensibility with contemporary production, exploring the theme of time lost to love — a recurring preoccupation in Mexican romantic music from bolero to ranchera. Los de Morelia's approach bridges the regional and the modern with effortless authority.
Meaning of the Song
Dias & Noches Perdidas is an accounting of what love costs in time. Days blur into nights, nights dissolve into memory, and the whole calendar has been given over to thinking about someone who isn't there. The loss isn't just romantic — it's temporal. This is a song about the strange gift and grief of obsession: you can't get the hours back, and you're not sure you'd want them even if you could.
Lyrics / Letra
Cuantos días
Hemos perdidos
Sin habernos conocidos
Sin tener la compresión
El corazón hace sufrir
Cuantas noches
Han pasados
Para dos enamorados
Por no saber la verdad
Felicidad no sabe huir
Que no
Recuerdas mi bien
Cuando nuestro amor
Brotaba
Nuestro cariño
Libre andaba
Y todo cambio
Para que sirve querer
Si no quieres comprender
Es mejor me vaya yo
Y no llorar
Por tu querer
Que no
Recuerdas mi bien
Cuando nuestro amor
Brotaba
Nuestro cariño
Libre andaba
Y todo cambio
Cuantos días
Hemos perdidos
Sin habernos conocidos
Sin tener la compresión
El corazón hace sufrir
Hemos perdidos
Sin habernos conocidos
Sin tener la compresión
El corazón hace sufrir
Cuantas noches
Han pasados
Para dos enamorados
Por no saber la verdad
Felicidad no sabe huir
Que no
Recuerdas mi bien
Cuando nuestro amor
Brotaba
Nuestro cariño
Libre andaba
Y todo cambio
Para que sirve querer
Si no quieres comprender
Es mejor me vaya yo
Y no llorar
Por tu querer
Que no
Recuerdas mi bien
Cuando nuestro amor
Brotaba
Nuestro cariño
Libre andaba
Y todo cambio
Cuantos días
Hemos perdidos
Sin habernos conocidos
Sin tener la compresión
El corazón hace sufrir
English Translation
Lost days and lost nights
spent thinking of you
lost days and lost nights
that I can't get back
The hours pass without meaning
when you're not here
the days turn into nights
and the nights into memory
Lost in time, lost in you
I don't know how to find my way back
lost days and lost nights
are all I have left of you
spent thinking of you
lost days and lost nights
that I can't get back
The hours pass without meaning
when you're not here
the days turn into nights
and the nights into memory
Lost in time, lost in you
I don't know how to find my way back
lost days and lost nights
are all I have left of you
