"Voy a quedarme" (English: I will stay) was the Spanish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 in Rotterdam, performed by Blas Cantó, who had been chosen to represent the country the previous year before the Contest was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
As a member of a "Big Five" nation, it had direct qualification for the final, where it finished in 24th place with 6 points.
It was later released as a duet in English with the United Kingdom's representative James Newman.

Quédate esta noche para ver amanecer
Para sentir tu voz
Acariciándome
Quédate un segundo más,
No hay nada que perder
Nientras dibujo un mar
De memorias en tu piel
He bajado el cielo para descubrir
Que se esconde en tu mirada
Sólo a unos centímetros de mi
Voy a quedarme y prometo
Quererte más que ayer
Voy a besarte muy lento
Como la primera vez
Y dejar atrás el miedo
Con tu alma entre mis dedos
Quédate
Porque yo voy a quedarme
Se que hay muchos como yo
Con tanto que ofrecer
Pero juro que este amor
Nadie lo podrá vencer
Y aunque nuestro baile diera
Un paso marcha atrás
No te preocupes yo
Contigo siempre bailaré
Qué más da si el mundo se derrumba hoy
O que pasará mañana
Que yo de tu lado no me voy
Voy a quedarme y prometo
Quererte más que ayer
Voy a besarte muy lento
Como la primera vez
Y dejar atrás el miedo
Con tu alma entre mis dedos
Quédate
Porque yo voy a quedarme
A tu lado aunque nos tiemble el suelo
Se apague el sol
Se caiga el cielo
A tan solo unos centímetros los dos
Y dejar atrás el miedo
Con tu alma entre mis dedos
Quédate
Porque yo voy a quedarme
Stay tonight until the break of day
So that I feel your voice
Caressing me
Stay just for one more second,
There’s nothing to lose
While I draw a sea
Of memories in your skin
I made the sky come down to discover
What’s hidden in your gaze
Just centimeters away from me
I’m going to stay and I promise
To love you more than yesterday
I’m going to kiss you very slowly
Like the first time
And I’ll leave fears behind
With your soul between my fingers
Stay
Because I’m going to stay
I know there are many like me
With so much to offer
But I swear this love
Won’t be defeated
And even though we made
A step back in our dance
Don’t worry
I’ll always dance with you
It doesn’t matter if the world falls down today
Or whatever happens tomorrow
I’ll stay by your side
I’m going to stay and I promise
To love you more than yesterday
I’m going to kiss you very slowly
Like the first time
And I’ll leave fears behind
With your soul between my fingers
Stay
Because I’m going to stay
Let the floor quake by your side
May the Sun wane
May the sky fall
Just centimeters away both of us
And I’ll leave fears behind
With your soul between my fingers
Stay
Because I’m going to stay
