Cometas Por El Cielo Lyrics in English La Oreja de Van Gogh

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cometas Por El Cielo by La Oreja de Van Gogh from Spanish to English.
Stay
This cold dawn
Stay
Until the light of dawn
shows my heart
And tangled in the wire fence
of your voice
that has grazed my soul
Stay with me and my sigh will be
the only witness that will dress up for a party
Stay with me in this abyssal night
Because only you
you can teach me
to fly
kites across the sky
Like the sun, like the sea
Stay
And let's strip our doubts
once and for all
We were always two moons
Stay with me and my sigh will be
the only witness that will dress up for a party
Stay with me in this abyssal night
Because only you
you can teach me
to fly
kites across the sky
Like the sun, like the sea
To draw
my name on the ground
Like the sun, like the sea
And they'll see that we're small
those who never flew
Turned into wind
I'll travel in silence
And only you'll hear me scream
We can fly
kites across the sky
Like the sun, like the sea
To draw
my name on the ground
Like the sun, like the sea
Like the sun, like the sea
Like the sun, like the sea

SONG MEANING

On a chilly pre-dawn morning, the singer pleads “Quédate” (Stay). She invites her partner to wait with her until daylight reveals her heart, bare and honest. Their voices intertwine, brushing her soul, and her own breath becomes the only witness to this private celebration of love. The night feels “abisal”, deep like an abyss, yet the presence of the other turns it into a safe, glowing space where doubts can be stripped away like clothes.

Throughout the chorus, the lover is the only person who can teach her “a volar cometas por el cielo”, to fly kites across the sky. The kite is a playful symbol of freedom, suggesting that together they can rise above earthly worries just like the sun or the sea’s horizon. Writing her name on the ground while they soar overhead shows a sweet contrast: their bodies may remain small to those who never dared to fly, but their connection is huge. In short, the song is an uplifting pledge of intimacy, trust, and shared adventure; when two hearts decide to stay, they discover the sky is not the limit but the starting point.
