Alas De Papel Lyrics in English by The La Planta, De La Ghetto, Locura Mix
Alas de papel translates directly to "paper wings." It's a beautiful and evocative image that immediately sparks curiosity.
In the song, the phrase "Quizás 'té volando en alas de papel" (Perhaps I'm flying on paper wings) suggests a fragile, perhaps unsustainable, hope or escape. It conveys a sense of vulnerability and the temporary nature of a dream or a relationship, making it a poignant and memorable choice.
Have you ever been through a breakup where you just couldn't accept it was over? That's exactly what The La Planta, De La Ghetto, and Locura Mix are singing about in "Alas De Papel"! This song is a raw look at the pain of a split, with the singer feeling like time has stopped and their days turned dark the moment their love walked away.
They're still holding onto hope, even asking their ex to "Miénteme que tú me extrañas todavía" [Lie to me that you still miss me]. The title, "Alas De Papel" [Paper Wings], is such a cool image for how fragile their hope is, like they're flying on wings that could tear at any moment. Even though they know it might be over, their heart "no puede aceptar que es una despedida" [cannot accept that it's a goodbye]. But by the end, there's a shift – they realize they have to keep living, keep drinking, and "Mejor irse de rumba y no morir de amor" [Better to go out and party and not die of love]. It's a whole journey of heartbreak and finally, moving on!
