Romeo Santos' song "Ciudadana" is a romantic ode to a long-distance relationship, expressing the singer's longing to be reunited with his beloved. The lyrics describe the singer's anticipation of his flight to her country, his memories of their time together, and his frustration with the obstacles that keep them apart. He expresses his desire to make time move faster so that they can be together again, and ultimately declares that she is a citizen of his heart. The song is a passionate plea for the power of love to overcome the tyranny of distance.

The flight is scheduled for twelve

In ten hours I land in your country

That same old hotel from that night

I have faith to see you there again

You know that for you I invent four hundred days in the calendar

Tomorrow at twelve and a half we are devouring

Chorus 1

Love, those four letters mark your destiny

Separated, nevertheless, so united

This is so special

I curse the distance, I prefer to be with you

That magic, that power falls into your hands

Very absurd that we're separated

But life is like this

Already they denied the visa and it has me tormented

Verse 2

If you're ever going to tell our story

Make it clear that I loved you

There is no passport or law that opposes

There is no government that can beat us

Love is power

Damn tyranny and its conditions

The cause of which you're far from me

In Havana where we gave each other loves

Estranged, destined to suffer

You know that for you I invent four hundred days in the calendar

Tomorrow at twelve and a half we are devouring

Chorus 2

Love, those four letters mark your destiny

Separated, nevertheless, so united

This is so special

I curse the distance, I prefer to be with you

That magic, that power falls into your hands

Very absurd that we're separated

But life is like this

Already they denied the visa and it has me tormented

Ladies and gentlemen, I will welcome you to Havana, Cuba

In a few hours I see you alone

How do we speed up time?

May the waves be witnesses

Because already you are a citizen of my body
