Spanish Songs, Translated

Learn Spanish the fun way – through music!


Sofia – Alvaro Soler [Spanish to English translation]

I actually don’t know how popular Alvaro Soler is in the Latin part of the world, but I LOVE his music!

He has this almost lazy, breezy kind of voice and style of music that just gets me. Alvaro Soler’s music, a fusion of Latin rhythms and catchy pop melodies, has a kind of vibrant energy and irresistible charm. His velvety voice glides and has this laid-back chill vibe you can hang out with.

La letra
Lyrics

Sueño cuando era pequeño
I dreamt when I was young
Sin preocupación en el corazón
Without worry in the heart
Sigo viendo aquel momento
I continue to see this moment
Se desvaneció, desapareció
Faded, disappeared

Ya no te creo, ya no te deseo, e-o
I don’t believe you anymore, I don’t want you anymore
Solo te veo, solo te deseo, e-o
I only want to see you, I only want you

Mira, Sofía
Look, Sofia
Sin tu mirada sigo, sin tu mirada sigo
Without your look I continue, without you I continue
Dime Sofía-a-a
Tell me Sofia-a-a
¿Cómo te mira?, dime, ¿cómo te mira?, dime
How does he look at you? Tell me, how does he look at you? Tell me
Sé que no, sé que no, sé que solo
I know that no, I know that no, I know that only
Sé que ya no soy-oy-oy-oy
I know that I am not anymore
Mira, Sofía
Look, Sofia
Sin tu mirada sigo, sin tu mirada, Sofía
Without your look I continue, without you Sofia

Dices que éramos felices
You say that we were happy
Todo ya pasó, todo ya pasó
All that has already happened, all has already happened
Sé que te corté las alas
I know that I clipped your wings
–Wow that’s the second time in a week I’m hearing this ‘cortar las alas’ [other one was in De Una Vez] – is it a common Spanish phrase?
Él te hizo volar, él te hizo soñar
He made you fly, he made you dream

Ya no te creo, ya no te deseo, e-o
I don’t believe you anymore, I don’t want you anymore
Solo te veo, solo te deseo, e-o
I only want to see you, I only want you

Mira, Sofía
Look, Sofia
Sin tu mirada sigo, sin tu mirada sigo
Without your look I continue, without you I continue
Dime Sofía-a-a
Tell me Sofia-a-a
¿Cómo te mira?, dime, ¿cómo te mira?, dime
How does he look at you? Tell me, how does he look at you? Tell me
Sé que no, sé que no, sé que solo
I know that no, I know that no, I know that only
Sé que ya no soy-oy-oy-oy
I know that I am not anymore
Mira, Sofía
Look, Sofia
Sin tu mirada sigo, sin tu mirada, Sofía
Without your look I continue, without you Sofia

¿Y por qué no me dices la verdad?
And why do you not tell me the truth?
Sigo sin tu mirada, Sofía
I continue without your gaze, Sofia
¿Y por qué no me dices la verdad?
And why do you not tell me the truth?

Mira, Sofía
Look, Sofia
Sin tu mirada, sigo sin tu mirada
Without your look I continue, without you I continue
Dime, Sofía
Tell me, Sofia
¿Cómo te mira?, dime, ¿cómo te mira?
How does he look at you? Tell me, how does he look at you?

Mira, Sofía
Look, Sofia
Sin tu mirada sigo, sin tu mirada sigo
Without your look I continue, without you I continue
Dime Sofía-a-a
Tell me Sofia-a-a
¿Cómo te mira?, dime, ¿cómo te mira?, dime

Sin tu mirada sigo, sin tu mirada sigo
Without your look I continue, without you I continue
Dime Sofía-a-a
Tell me Sofia-a-a
¿Cómo te mira?, dime, ¿cómo te mira?, dime
