Christian Nodal has released ‘Sabina’ on the first anniversary of his relationship with his wife, Ángela Aguilar. Fans believe the song is dedicated to her, as she’s known to be a fan of Joaquín Sabina.

The track is a heartfelt ballad about regret, longing, and unresolved love. Nodal shows deep emotional vulnerability as he reflects on a breakup that, in his view, should never have happened.

In the lyrics, Nodal sings about not understanding why the relationship ended, calling it an “incomplete story” that still had love, connection, and potential. He shares how he wakes up wanting to see his partner again and emphasizes that there’s no room for pride or ego—he’s ready to speak from the heart and be honest about his feelings.

He compares his suffering to countless sleepless nights, even referencing Joaquín Sabina, known for his poetic heartbreak songs. Missing the person has become part of his daily life—a painful routine. It’s worth remembering that the now-couple spent years apart before reuniting.

There’s a strong longing to reconnect. He believes they owe it to their past and shared history to revisit what they once had, admitting that ever since they stopped seeing each other, something essential has been missing—and that something is her.

‘Sabina’ English Lyrics

I don’t know about you
But I woke up wanting to see you again
Today, pride doesn’t apply—there’s no room for ego either
So just know this: I still love you

I don’t know about you
But I’ve been holding on through more nights than Sabina himself
And honestly, for your absence, there’s no medicine—I swear
Missing you has just become routine

And I still don’t understand why we ended
Why we left our story unfinished
Who are you kidding? We still love each other
Stop making excuses

And I still don’t get why we haven’t come back
We owe some respect to what we had
I’ve noticed, now that we don’t see each other, that something’s missing
When I say “something,” I mean everything
And when I say “everything,” I mean you

And I could say it louder

But not any clearer, my queen

And I still don’t understand why we ended
Why we left our story unfinished
Who are you kidding? We still love each other
Stop making excuses

And I still don’t get why we haven’t come back
We owe some respect to what we had
I’ve noticed, now that we don’t see each other, that something’s missing
And when I say “something,” I mean everything
And when I say “everything,” I mean you
