Bandolera is a cool and uncommon word that translates to "female bandit" or "outlaw."
In this song, Alvaro Soler imagines all the things he would become for his love in the next life. He sings, "sería bandolera / Para robar la luna" (I would be a female bandit / To steal the moon). This imaginative line uses a powerful, adventurous image to express extreme devotion, showing he would do anything, even become an outlaw, for the one he loves.
“Lo Que Pasó, Pasó” spins a charming fantasy of next-life possibilities. Álvaro Soler and Marta Santos imagine themselves as a carpenter building a heavenly hideaway, an engineer drawing a bridge straight to their lover, even a bandit who steals the moon so it can shine on command. Each playful role underscores just how far they are willing to go to stay connected, turning ordinary professions into poetic promises of eternal devotion.
Riding on the catchy refrain “Lo que pasó, pasó” (What’s done is done), the duet urges us to drop yesterday’s heartaches and dare to rewrite the story. Life is short, new chances abound, and today’s pain might vanish by tomorrow if we try again. In other words, love is a sequel waiting to be written, and the singers invite listeners to believe that the best chapters are still ahead.
Álvaro Soler was ten when his family moved to Tokyo, and seventeen when he came back to Catalonia with piano lessons and most of a second childhood behind him. He was born in Sant Cugat del Vallès in 1991, formed the band Urban Lights in 2010 with his brother and a few friends, reached the final eight of the talent show ¡Tú sí que vales! with them in 2013, and left in 2014 to work on his own.
The song that broke him was "El mismo sol" in 2015, a number one in Italy and Switzerland that was re-recorded as a bilingual version with Jennifer Lopez. "Sofia" did it again a year later, topping the charts in Italy, Poland, Belgium and Switzerland and going platinum several times over in Italy. His albums are Eterno agosto (2015), Mar de colores (2018), which carried "La cintura", Magia (2021) and El Camino (2025). He records in Spanish, English, Italian and German, wrote "Yo contigo, tú conmigo" with Morat for Despicable Me 3, and has coached on the German edition of The Voice Kids.
