‘RAMEN PARA DOS’ by María Becerra and Paulo Londra: Meaning and English Lyrics

Share:

‘Ramen Para Dos’ by María Becerra and Paulo Londra is a powerful song about the emotional aftermath of a relationship that never quite became something real. It tells the story of two people who are still dealing with the pain, confusion, and unresolved feelings that were left behind.

María’s verses reflect someone who feels abandoned and deeply hurt. She expresses a mix of longing and frustration, admitting she’s still holding on to something that doesn’t exist. Simple details—like ordering ramen for two even when she’s alone—highlight how much she misses what they could have been.

Paulo, on the other hand, shares the other side of the story: he felt overwhelmed by the intensity of the relationship and pulled away to avoid hurting her. He says it wasn’t love, but obsession, and feels misunderstood for choosing to walk away. While they both admit the connection left scars, they also recognize that staying in touch only makes things worse.

‘Ramen Para Dos’ English Lyrics

[Verse 1: María Becerra]

It’s been seventeen days and I haven’t heard from you
My therapist told me you’re running away from me
Where are you, why won’t you answer the phone?
You left me alone, baby, what’s going on? U disappeared
You better be dead, or else…
How can this be? You don’t want to see me
I stood at your door waiting for you yesterday
Where are you?

[Pre-Chorus: María Becerra & Paulo Londra]

Even the walls are talking about you
Though I haven’t spoken to you in a while
And if someone asks, I pretend I don’t care
Baby, it’s just your imagination
I keep ordering ramen for two
Even though it was never really us
I play old voice notes just to hear your voice (What?)

[Chorus: María Becerra & Paulo Londra]

Since the day you left
I don’t know why the hell you never came back
I keep holding on to something that isn’t real
Thinking you forgot me is so sad (So sad)
Since the day you left (No, no, no, no, no)
I don’t know why the hell you never came back (No, no, no, no, no)
I keep holding on to something that isn’t real
Thinking you forgot me is so sad (Oh-oh, no, no)

[Verse 2: Paulo Londra]

I wish we could talk without having to yell
You’ve got more imagination than honesty
If I pulled away, it was out of necessity
That kind of intensity just isn’t for me
This isn’t love—it’s obsession. Now we both need therapy
You say you love me like you actually know me
I just hope someone sees what’s really going on
Please try to understand
How can something end if it never began?
Things are going from bad to worse and no one believed me
Everyone thinks I’m the fool and the bad guy
I don’t know what to do, I go out running but see you everywhere
Like Pucca and Garu, you’re crazy like Helga from Hey Arnold!

[Pre-Chorus: Paulo Londra & María Becerra]

Even the walls are talking about you
You don’t get that I need space
And if someone asks, I say no
But I know it’s not just in my head
Baby, believe me, I’m better off alone
Ramen for two
So please, stop calling my phone (What?)

[Chorus: Paulo Londra & María Becerra, Both]

Since the day I left, I knew (No, no, no)
That the scars would stay (No, no)
I had to walk away so I wouldn’t hurt you
Keeping this going doesn’t help us (Let’s go, yeah)
Since the day I left, I knew (No, no, no)
That the scars would stay
I had to walk away so I wouldn’t hurt you (Okay)
Keeping this going doesn’t help us

[Verse 3: María Becerra]

Lady, ah
Baby, I’m crazy and you want a Miss Stacy
I used to put your song on my playlist
But you chose that basic bitch instead
After everything you did to me
There’s no point in you staying
Hey, wait—makes me wanna shoot you
And die with you while I’m at it, fuck them

[Pre-Chorus: María Becerra & Paulo Londra, Both]

And I don’t know why the hell you never came back (No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
There’s no point in us still talking

[Chorus: María Becerra & Paulo Londra]

Since the day you left (You left)
I don’t know why the hell you never came back (You didn’t come back)
I keep holding on to something that isn’t real
Thinking you forgot me is so sad (So sad)
Since the day I left, I knew (No, no, no)
That the scars would stay (No, no, no)
I had to walk away to not hurt you (Something that isn’t real)
There’s no point in us still talking (So fucking sad)

[Outro: Paulo Londra & María Becerra]

Ey, ey, Leones con Flow (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Paulo Londra
And La Nena de Argentina (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Talk to me, XROSS
Two, two, three
