Cuando Zarpa El Amor Lyrics in English Camela

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cuando Zarpa El Amor by Camela from Spanish to English.

It's been some time now that I live without you

And I still don't get used to it, why would I lie?

Together we agreed that it was better to separate

Today I know that I can't go on like this

I tried to forget you and I didn't succeed

Full of memories, they all talk about you

The house is empty, neither light nor joy

I'm dead alive if you're not here

Tell me that you feel the same as I do

Tell me that you love me, say it

When love sets sail

It sails blind, it is the one that holds the helm

And when the tide rises to the heart

It knows that the wind blows in its favor

We can't do anything

To change the course that it marked for us two

When love sets sail

You don't know how hard it has become

To be without your affection, without being able to have you

How much I missed, my babe, your kisses

I will never separate from you again

You still wear the ring that I gave you

And in your eyes the hope shines again

I feel shivers when I'm with you

Bring your hands closer and caress me

Tell me that you feel the same as I do

Tell me that you love me, say it

When love sets sail

It sails blind, it is the one that holds the helm

And when the tide rises to the heart

It knows that the wind blows in its favor

We can't do anything

To change the course that it marked for us two

When love sets sail

It sails blind, it is the one that holds the helm

And when the tide rises to the heart

It knows that the wind blows in its favor

We can't do anything

To change the course that it marked for us two

When love sets sail

SONG MEANING

Camela’s classic hit, Cuando Zarpa El Amor (When Love Sets Sail), is a passionate confession about two people who tried to go their separate ways but quickly discover that love is the real captain of their journey. The singer admits that life without the other person feels like a dim, empty house, filled only with memories. No matter how hard he tries, forgetting is impossible. As soon as love “sets sail,” it steers the ship blindly yet surely — the heart’s tide rises, the wind favors their reunion, and the couple realizes they can do nothing to change the course already drawn for them.

The lyrics blend nautical imagery with heartfelt emotion to show that love is an unstoppable force. Rings still shine, kisses are missed, and chills run down their spines whenever they are together. Ultimately, the song celebrates that moment when both lovers let go of resistance, admit they feel the same, and allow love’s tide to carry them back into each other’s arms.
