Saturno Lyrics in English by Pablo Alborán
Saturno is the Spanish word for the planet Saturn. But in this song, it represents something much more profound and heartbreaking.
Alborán uses it as a metaphor for a place where lost dreams reside, singing "En Saturno viven los hijos que nunca tuvimos" (In Saturn live the children we never had). This beautiful, cosmic imagery elevates a simple planet name into a symbol for a future that never came to be, making it an incredibly powerful and memorable word to learn.
Have you ever had a past love that just won't leave your head? Pablo Alborán really gets that feeling in "Saturno." He sings about how his ex "Vuelves / En cada sueño que tengo" [You return / In every dream I have], showing how deeply this person is still affecting him, even in his sleep. It's not just about missing someone, though; there's a real sting of regret and even anger here. He admits, "Yo no quería amarte / Tú me enseñaste a odiarte" [I didn't want to love you / You taught me to hate you], which is such a blunt and powerful line about how a relationship can turn so sour.
But the most captivating part is how he uses space to talk about what's lost. He imagines that "En Saturno / Viven los hijos que nunca tuvimos" [On Saturn / Live the children we never had], which is a heartbreaking way to think about a future that never happened. Then, on Pluto, he says "Aún se oyen gritos de amor" [Cries of love are still heard], suggesting a distant echo of their past passion. And on the Moon? "Gritan a solas tu voz y mi voz / Pidiendo perdón / Cosa que nunca pudimos hacer" [Your voice and my voice cry out alone / Asking for forgiveness / Something we could never do]. It's a really vivid picture of two people who couldn't reconcile, even in a desolate, imagined space. He also points out that his ex shares the blame, saying, "Tienes, la misma culpa que tengo" [You have the same blame I do], believing they feel the same pain, even if they won't admit it. It's a raw look at lingering heartbreak and all the 'what ifs' that come with it.
