Lafourcade was born in Mexico City, Mexico, surrounded by music and art. Her father is the Chilean musician Gastón Lafourcade who had French parents and her mother is the pianist María del Carmen Silva Contreras. Her uncle is the Chilean writer Enrique Lafourcade, a representative of the so-called "Generation of the 50s". She attended Instituto Anglo Español, a Catholic middle school, and studied painting, flute, theater, music, acting, piano, guitar, saxophone and singing. When she was 10, Natalia sang in a Mariachi group.
She grew up in Coatepec, Veracruz, Mexico, where she studied music with her mother, María del Carmen Silva Contreras, imitating artists such as Gloria Trevi and Garibaldi. Her mother studied piano with a specialty in musical pedagogy and is the creator of the Macarsi Method for musical training and personal development for children and educators. She adapted and practiced the method with Natalia to help her rehabilitate through music following a head injury from being kicked by a horse.
When she was 17, Loris Ceroni gave Lafourcade the opportunity to be in a pop/rock group under his guidance. Lafourcade was hesitant, and Ceroni instead encouraged her to become independent. Lafourcade produced her first LP under the label of Sony Music. It was recorded in Italy and was cowritten with Aureo Baqueiro. Sabo Romo played in 2 songs. Natalia Lafourcade is a mix of pop, rock, bossa-nova and Latin rhythms. It features the songs "Busca Un Problema", "Elefantes", "Te Quiero Dar", "Mírame, Mírate", and her biggest hit, "En El 2000".
In 2005, she released Casa, her second album, but this time as Natalia y La Forquetina, the name of her band. Produced mostly by Café Tacuba's Emmanuel del Real, Casa presents a more mature, rock-oriented sound while retaining pop and bossa-nova influences on a few tracks, such as lead single "Ser Humano" (pop-rock) and its follow-up "Casa" (pop-bossa-nova). Aureo Baqueiro returned to produce the few tracks not produced by del Real. More than a year after Natalia departed from La Forquetina, she recorded an instrumental album called The 4 Seasons of Love under Sony BMG label. She also wrote the Lyrics for "Tú y Yo" from Ximena Sariñana's self-titled album.
In 2009, she released the album Hu Hu Hu, a top 10 album in Mexico. The album was produced by Emmanuel del Real (who produced "Casa" in 2005), Marco Moreno and Ernesto García. It was nominated for Best female Pop Vocal Album at the 2009 Latin Grammy Awards (won by Laura Pausini) and Best Latin Pop album at the 2010 Grammy Awards (won by La Quinta Estación). Club Fonograma also named the album the second best of 2009, and the seventh best of the decade.
In 2012, she released a tribute album to Agustín Lara called Mujer Divina.
Her next album, Hasta La Raíz, was released in March 2015. "Nunca Es Suficiente" (It's Never Enough), the first single off the album, was released on 10 February. The track "Hasta La Raíz" was No. 5 of the Viral 50 Global Spotify Chart and the No. 1 on the Viral 50 México chart.
In 2017, she recorded "Remember Me" as a duet with contemporary R&B singer Miguel for the credits of the movie Coco, and together they also performed the song at the 90th Academy Awards ceremony.
2020 saw her release the eponymous Un Canto por México, Vol. 1.
In 2023, She won a Grammy for her album " Un Canto Por México - El Musical"
Te vi pasar
Natalia Lafourcade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Te he mirado a mi lado pasar
Pasar muy cerca de mí
Aquellos ojos, dos cristales
Que hace tiempo reflejaron su amor
No se fijaron en mí
Y tanto que contarte
Que ya no te pude hablar
Me tuve que callar mis sentimientos
No supe de tu aliento
No más te vi pasar
Hoy te he mirado sin quererlo
Te he mirado a mi lado pasar
Pasar muy cerca de mí
Tenía tantas cosas que decirte
Tanto que contarte
Que ya no te pude hablar
Me tuve que callar mis sentimientos
No supe de tu aliento
No más te vi pasar
Hoy te he mirado sin quererlo
Te he mirado a mi lado pasar
Pasar muy cerca de mí
Me dejaste llorando
Llorando por ti
In Natalia Lafourcade's Te Vi Pasar, the singer observes an ex-lover walking by her side. She cannot help but look at them as they pass by her, and she is reminded of the love they once shared. The eyes that used to reflect their love do not acknowledge her presence. She wishes she could speak to them and tell them so much that she missed, but her emotions consume her, and she remains silent.
Throughout the song, the singer reflects on the things she could have said or done differently in their relationship. She is overwhelmed by her emotions and regrets not being able to express herself when they were still together. Now, as the ex-lover passes her by, she is forced to keep her feelings to herself, and all she can do is watch them go.
The lyrics of Te Vi Pasar convey a sense of sadness and loss. The singer is haunted by the memories of her past relationship, and she is unable to move on from the pain that it caused her. The song is a poignant reminder of the power of love and how it can affect our lives long after it is gone.

Hoy te he mirado sin quererlo,
Te he mirado a mi lado pasar…
Pasar muy cerca de mí
Aquellos ojos, dos cristales,
Que otro tiempo reflejaron mi amor,
No se fijaron en mí
Tenía tantas cosas que decirte
Y tanto que contarte
Que no te pude hablar
Me tuve que tragar mis sentimientos,
No supe de tu aliento,
No’más te vi pasar…
Hoy te he mirado sin quererlo,
Te he mirado a mi lado pasar…
Pasar muy cerca de mí
Me dejaste llorando,
Llorando por ti…
