Alma De Luz Lyrics in English Alvaro Soler

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Alma De Luz by Alvaro Soler from Spanish to English.
Soul of light, ivory skin
They say that you're not from here
Soul of light, they will say
Eyes from the south, German skin
Soul of light, they will say
Eyes from the south and German skin
Boy of the sea, your heart
Wants to sing, they silence your voice
Boy of the sea, dreamer you'll be
You're from outside, 'outside!' they'll say
Boy of the sea, dreamer you'll be
You're from outside, 'outside!' they'll say
What a shame, what a shame
If I don't know you, you scare me
What's your flag?
But why should I care?
Soul of light, ivory skin
They say that you're not from here
Soul of light, they will say
Eyes from the south, German skin
Soul of light, they will say
Eyes from the south
German skin

SONG MEANING

Alma De Luz (Spanish for Soul of Light) is Alvaro Soler’s warm homage to everyone who feels like a beautiful mix of places and cultures. The song introduces a “niño del mar” with southern eyes and German skin, a character who mirrors Soler’s own multicultural background. Curious onlookers keep saying, “You are not from here,” yet the melody glows with tropical guitars and hand-claps that insist this child absolutely belongs, wherever the music plays.

Under the sunny groove lies a gentle protest against narrow labels. Lines like “¿Cuál es tu bandera?” challenge the idea that a single flag can define a person, while the repeated “alma de luz” reminds us that the brightest part of any identity is invisible: the spirit. Rather than dwell on outsiders’ fears, the song urges the listener to sing out, celebrate their blended roots and let their inner light shine across every border.
