How am I gonna tell you

The distance hurts, I just wanna be

Lost in your arms anywhere

When will you be back?

The last time I saw you, I couldn't help

Etching that image in my heart

That I wanted to keep

To remember it forever, and that way alone

I'd never have to be

Imprinting the taste of that coffee

After strolling

Through the town's streets, lost in Sant Cugat

To recall it always and so for a while

I could be with you

How am I gonna tell you

The distance hurts, I just wanna be

Lost in your arms anywhere

When will you be back?

And how am I gonna tell you

I see you at the window sitting in the bar

I look at you and you smile, I ask again

And when will you be back?

I wear you round my wrist along with

Memories I once left behind

They give me hope

So I always remember that

There's someone waiting for good reason

How am I gonna tell you

The distance hurts, I just wanna be

Lost in your arms anywhere

When will you be back?

And how am I gonna tell you

I see you at the window sitting in the bar

I look at you and you smile, I ask again

And when will you be back?

I hope that someday you'll find me again

To fill your eyes with joy again by the sea

And I hope that if you don't find me, I'll surely find you

Yes, I'll do it

How am I gonna tell you

The distance hurts, I just wanna be

Lost in your arms anywhere

And when will you be back? Tell me when

How am I gonna tell you

I see you at the window sitting in the bar

I look at you and you smile, I ask again

And when will you be back?

SONG MEANING

“¿Cuándo volverás?” is Alvaro Soler’s heartfelt postcard from the other side of a long-distance love. In the song he relives vivid little snapshots that keep his partner close even when miles apart: the taste of coffee after walking through the quiet streets of Sant Cugat, a smile caught through a bar window, a bracelet wrapped around his wrist like a portable memory. Each detail is a reminder of how deeply absence can ache and how powerfully hope can heal.

Over buoyant Latin-pop guitars and Soler’s warm vocals, the chorus circles back to that simple, urgent question: When will you come back? It is a mix of longing and optimism. The singer hurts, yet he clings to the idea that love will bridge the gap, that one day they will meet again by the sea and “fill your eyes with joy.” The track turns distance into a danceable anthem of devotion, inviting listeners to sway, reminisce, and believe that goodbyes are only temporary pauses in a bigger, brighter story.
