Maybe someday around this time
you might no longer remember the lyrics
of that song that I wrote for you
Maybe life is so brief
or that time doesn't remember
to avoid what we have to live through
Come back
Come back late but come back
Come back girl if you get lost
Today I want to see you
And fly
Fly high while you can
that life is a wheel
that never brakes
You don't live waiting for a stranger's heart
that comes here
and pulls from your body and your soul the best of you
Today I feel that life
shows me its blue side with you
and it's all I ask for to be happy
What do you ask?
What do you ask?
Maybe it dies in an instant
because of the fear of messing up
everything for which I once dreamed
Maybe I'll throw myself into the void
like I once did with you
without thinking what would come after
Come back
Come back late but come back
Come back girl if you get lost
Today I want to see you
And fly
Fly high while you can
that life is a wheel
that never brakes
You don't live waiting for a stranger's heart
that comes here
and pulls from your body and your soul the best of you
Today I feel that life
shows me its blue side with you
and it's all I ask for to be happy
What do you ask?
that you live waiting for a stranger's heart
that comes here
and pulls from your body and your soul the best of you
Today I feel that life
shows me its blue side with you
and it's all I ask for to be happy
What do you ask?
What do you ask?

SONG MEANING

“¿Qué Pides Tú?” is Álex Ubago’s heartfelt conversation with the person he loves. The singer knows that life moves fast — memories fade, dreams wobble, fear creeps in — yet his desire is simple: come back when you can, live boldly while you’re away, and let’s find happiness together. He urges her to “vuelve” (return) even if she’s late, and to “vuela alto” (fly high) because life is like a wheel that never stops turning. Between those gentle commands, he confesses that being with her shows him “the blue side” of life, the bright contrast to doubt and uncertainty.

The repeated question “¿Qué pides tú?” (“What do you ask for?”) flips the spotlight onto her. Instead of waiting for some stranger’s heart to awaken the best in her, Ubago invites her to define her own hopes. The song is both a promise and a challenge: he promises unwavering affection, and he challenges her to dare, dream, and decide what she truly wants. In two sweet verses and a soaring chorus, Ubago captures the balance between letting someone go so they can grow and praying they’ll choose to return, bringing back the very best version of themselves.
