Volar Lyrics in English by Alvaro Soler
Echo a volar is a fantastic phrase that literally translates to "I throw to fly," but idiomatically means "to take flight" or "to start flying." The structure echar a + [verb] is a common way in Spanish to express the beginning of an action.
In this upbeat song, Alvaro Soler uses it to capture a feeling of pure freedom and spontaneity. He sings about putting his hands in the air and deciding to just fly, leaving all complications behind. It’s the perfect expression for starting a new, carefree adventure.
Alvaro Soler's "Volar" is a pure blast of positive energy! It's all about deciding to live in the moment and not waste any time on regrets. He starts the song by saying, "Hoy me levanto sin pensar / Voy a dejarlo todo" (Today I wake up without thinking / I'm going to leave everything behind). The whole idea is to stop overthinking and just enjoy life, or as he puts it, "Sin complicarme la vida a disfrutar" (Without complicating my life, just enjoy).
This song is a call to action. Soler tells you to forget about the past, saying, "Deja lo malo, para de pensar / En que podría haber sido" (Leave the bad stuff, stop thinking / About what could have been). Instead, he wants you to embrace the feeling of freedom, which he describes as wanting to "Volar con el viento / Y sentir que se para el tiempo" (Fly with the wind / And feel that time stops). It’s a super optimistic track about chasing clouds, singing in the streets, and not losing a single minute to worry.
