Belinda & Natanael Cano Drop ‘300 Noches’: Meaning & English Lyrics

Share:

Belinda and Natanael Cano have come together to release their new collaboration called «300 Noches» (300 Nights). Belinda surprised everyone by returning to music, but this time she’s delving into corridos tumbados, a genre that’s been making waves internationally. It’s quite a departure from her usual pop style, which she’s been known for throughout her career. Yet, she’s managed to pull it off successfully. Despite the fact that «Cactus» is about her highly publicized breakup with Christian Nodal, it’s been well received by fans and critics alike.

As we know, the music world is always changing and growing. In Mexican music, especially, we’re seeing a lot of evolution. Artists are teaming up across different styles within regional Mexican music. Take corridos tumbados, for example. They stem from traditional Mexican corridos but are now blending with elements of pop and other influences, potentially giving rise to a new subgenre: ‘coquette corridos’. It’s an exciting time as artists like Belinda bring their unique touch to this evolving genre.

The song’s message is pretty straightforward, and it’s likely a situation many people have found themselves in. We’ve all probably gone through a tough breakup and hoped for our partner to come back. But sometimes, we need to face reality and realize that they’ve moved on, even if we miss them dearly.

«300 Noches» English Lyrics

[Belinda]

I waited so much for you
That when I realized
You had already left me behind
Now what do I do to forget you?

[Natanael Cano]

And I waited so much for you
That when I realized
You had already left me behind
And now what do I do to forget?

[Belinda]

Three hundred nights have passed
And I keep treading on the past
You can’t continue being the king
Without this queen by your side

[Natanael Cano]

Baby, look at us
Now we’re two strangers
And it feels so strange
That even after you screwed me over, I still miss you

[Belinda]

Baby, look at us
I gave everything and it didn’t work out
It wasn’t because of me that it didn’t work
It was because of you that everything got screwed up, everything got screwed up

[Natanael Cano]

Beli, Beli
Beli, Belica
How am I supposed to find what I had in someone else?
The same way of kissing, that damn connection

[Belinda]

I still remember how we did it
And always woke up embraced
And being with you was like if Santa Claus
Brought me twenty-three thousand gifts

[Natanael Cano]

Three hundred nights have passed
And I keep treading on the past
I can’t continue being the king
Without this queen by my side

[Belinda]

Baby, look at us
Now we’re two strangers
And it feels so strange
That even after you screwed me over, I still miss you

[Both]

Baby, look at us
I gave everything and it didn’t work out
It wasn’t because of me that it didn’t work
It was because of you that everything got screwed up
Everything got screwed up.
