Estoy Soñando Lyrics in English by ABBA
Aflicción translates to "affliction" or "distress." It's a strong, evocative word that conveys a sense of deep sorrow or suffering, making it more impactful than common synonyms.
In the context of "Estoy Soñando," the lyrics state, "Y me ayudó en mi aflicción" (And it helped me in my affliction). This suggests that the dream, or the magic it represents, provided solace and assistance during a time of great emotional pain, highlighting the word's significance in the song's hopeful message.
ABBA, a Swedish band, brings us "Estoy Soñando" [I Am Dreaming], a song all about the power of dreams and belief. The lyrics tell us, "Yo lo soñé / Y el corazón / Me habló de amor / Con emoción" [I dreamed it / And my heart / Spoke to me of love / With emotion]. It's a beautiful idea that our dreams can guide us and fill us with feeling. The song suggests that if you embrace a little magic, like "la magia / De hadas que hacen bien" [the magic / Of good fairies], then "Verás que el futuro / Sonríe también" [You will see that the future / Smiles too]. It’s a wonderful message of hope and optimism.
This song really leans into the idea of having faith in something good. The singer believes in "angelitos / Que me cuidan siempre de caer" [little angels / That always keep me from falling] and "Que la vida linda me hacen ver" [That make me see life as beautiful]. Even when facing sadness, "la fantasía / A la oscuridad / La transforma en día / En una verdad" [fantasy / Transforms darkness / Into day / Into a truth]. It's a comforting thought that imagination and belief can turn difficult times into something positive. The repeated line, "Y llegaré / Yo lo soñé" [And I will arrive / I dreamed it], really drives home the idea that if you can dream it, you can achieve it.
