Quimera Lyrics in English Alba Reche

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Quimera by Alba Reche from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
I blur the air, I've forgotten to love
I writhe again on your side of the bed
In case you show up with my keys
I imagine you sleepless
Reading the walls
Erasing names that I never was
Verse 2
I look for you in affairs
As if you were going to come back
Verse 2
I rename you again
On some torn page
Verse 2
Unforgetting the pains
I imagine you sleepless
Reading the walls
Erasing names that I never was
Chorus 1
I light the tar
In case you appear in the smoke
Chorus 1
The glass fogs over us
The little eyes ask for calm
I imagine you sleepless
Reading the walls
Erasing names that I never was
Verse 3
I was thinking of getting up
To make you a throne
Verse 3
And burn it like all the others
It's my worn-out goodbye
Verse 3
You kept the peace from me
My heart bursts
I search for air in the lung
Verse 3
I left you my inspiration
Chorus 2
I light the tar
In case you appear in the smoke
Chorus 2
The glass fogs over us
The little eyes ask for calm
Chorus 2
I light the tar
In case you appear in the smoke
Chorus 2
The glass fogs over us
The little eyes ask for calm
Outro
For you, who else if not
How beautiful it is!

SONG MEANING

**Alba Reche’s “Quimera” invites us into a dream-like aftermath of love, where rooms still echo with a missing presence and every corner is haunted by what might have been. The singer drifts through sleepless nights, tracing words on walls and searching the smoke for a vision of the one who left. Each poetic image — tar set alight, fogged-up windows, a half-empty bed — paints the aching confusion of someone trying to erase old names while secretly hoping they will appear again.

Despite its melancholy, the track feels almost magical. Reche balances sorrow with defiant ritual: she imagines building a throne for her lover only to burn it, a fiery goodbye that claims back her power. “Quimera” becomes a cathartic quest for air, peace and inspiration, showing that even in heartbreak we can spark our own mythic rebirth. The result is a captivating blend of tenderness, raw emotion and smoky Spanish mystique — beautiful, bittersweet and unforgettable.
