Translated Lyrics No1 :: Volvera

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.

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

ecdl9-grafitiThis website is a labour of love by Gareth Bouch (that’s me…), a Brit who discovered El Canto Del Loco through an interview with MotoGP star Alvaro Bautista. Having decided to track down and listen to all I could, I fell in love with the band and made it my mission to promote them and pimp them to anybody I could.

The result is this site, though I also mention them on my other Alvaro and MotoGP sites and my personal blog.
Although there’s not anywhere near as much news about ECDL for those of use outside of Spain, I always try and keep my ear to the ground for anything interesting and, with the help of a couple of friends, aim to keep this site as updated and relevant as is possible.
