Note: La Oreja de Van Gogh (Van Gogh's Ear) is a very popular musical group from Spain, so you will notice a difference in the pronunciation of the 'c' and 'z' sounds.
Soledad
Solitude
Tanto tiempo juntos y ahora te tienes que ir
Eramos muy niños cuando allí te conocí
Te veo jugar
Y en silencio hablar
Cómo me gustaba tu carita al bostezar
So much time together and now you have to leave
We were so young when I met you there
I see you play
And talk in silence
How I liked your little face when you yawned
En nuestro rincón
Sigue aquel sillón
Donde me leías al dormir
Siempre estabas junto a mí
En mi mente revolviendo todo
Y esperando verme sonreir…
In our corner
That armchair is still there
Where you used to read to me as I fell asleep
You were always next to me
In my mind, stirring everything up
And hoping to see me smile…
¡Oh soledad!
Dime si algún día habrá…
Entre tú y el amor buena amistad…
Vuelve conmigo a dibujar las olas del mar
Dame tu mano una vez más
Oh solitude!
Tell me if one day there will be…
A good friendship between you and love…
Come back with me to draw the waves of the sea
Give me your hand once again
Escapabamos de todo
y me invitabas a pensar
Me ayudabas con tus juegos a pintar la realidad
Siempre fuiste fiel
Transparente fe
Los mayores dicen que de ti me enamoré
We escaped from everything
And you invited me to think
You helped me with your games that painted (described) reality
You were always faithful
Transparent faith
The adults say that I fell in love with you
En nuestro rincón
Sigue aquel sillón
Donde me leías al dormir
Siempre estabas junto a mí
En mi mente revolviendo todo
Y esperando verme sonreir…
In our corner
That armchair is still there
Where you used to read to me as I fell asleep
You were always next to me
In my mind, stirring everything up
And hoping to see me smile…
¡Oh soledad!
Dime si algún día habrá…
Entre tú y el amor buena amistad…
Vuelve conmigo a dibujar las olas del mar
Dame tu mano una vez más (repetir)
Oh solitude!
Tell me if one day there will be…
A good friendship between you and love…
Come back with me to draw the waves of the sea
Give me your hand once again (repeat)
