For English fans of a Spanish band, it's often difficult to enjoy the music on every level as the question of translation of lyrics gets in the way. As with English bands, there is always going to be a degree of colloquial wording and grammar, of abstract concepts, and probably some slang too. So a straightforward translation is always pretty unlikely.
We've tracked down some translations however (thanks to the website Ooltra) which don't seem bad at all and help convey a lot of meaning, which will hopefully enable you (and us) get more out of the songs.
First up is Volvera from the album Zapatillas. More will be posted over the coming weeks. Enjoy... :-)
| Volverá | It Will Return |
| Me acuerdo y pienso en el tiempo Que llevábamos sin vernos. Dos niños pequeños Que lo sentían todo Y lo sigo sintiendo hoy por ti Recuerdos que tengo y no entiendo Que dejáramos de vernos. Buscando mil besos Que no son nuestros besos. Deseo estar contigo hasta morir Coro: { Desesperándome Te buscaba en mis sueños Y ahogándome. Volverá Seguro que volverá. Lo sigo sintiendo y te echo de menos ¿Qué acabe mi soledad? Volverá Te juro que volverá Ese amor verdadero De cuando era pequeño. Seguro que volverá. Volverá } Te miro en el tiempo y siento Que tú eres lo que quiero. Mi niña, mi sueño Todo eso que no tengo Y que sigo sintiendo hoy por ti Incluso en mis sueños Me invento y me creo que te tengo Que toco tu cuerpo Y sé que eso no es cierto Y que estoy acojonándome sin ti {Coro} x 2 | I remember and I think of the time That we used to spend without seeing each other. Two small children That used to feel everything And I keep on feeling it for you today Recollections that I have and do not understand That used to stop us from seeing each other. Looking for a thousand kisses That are not our kisses. I desire to be with you until death Chorus: { Waking myself up I was looking for you in my dreams And suffocating. It will return I am sure that it will return. I keep on feeling it and I miss you What would end my loneliness? It will return I swear to you that it will return That true love From when I was small. I am sure that it will return. It will return } I look at you over time and I feel That you are what I want. My girl, my dream All that which I do not have And that I keep on feeling for you today Even in my dreams I imagine and believe that I have you That I am touching your body And I know that that is not certain And that I am daunted without you {Chorus} x 2 |
