Despiertos Lyrics in English Alvaro Soler

Despiertos invites us to a sun-kissed beach where Álvaro Soler urges us to stay awake while we dream. The repeated line “Y si el sol hoy nos quita el sueño, pues ojalá que soñemos despiertos” flips the idea of losing sleep into an opportunity: if daylight steals our rest, let’s keep dreaming with eyes wide open. The song flashes back to nights by the bonfire, crossing lines and building “worlds of paper”, a playful picture of youthful rebellion and imagination.

Yet Soler adds a modern twist. He pokes fun at a “heart broken by likes” and people “addicted to dopamine”, reminding us that real connection beats the quick buzz of social media. Instead of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, what we need is fresh air, open skies and someone special beside us. Together we shout to the wind, watch the clouds shrink and realize that the sky – and our dreams – are closer than we think. The overall message is clear: drop the digital noise, seize the moment, and keep dreaming even in broad daylight, because contigo mi mundo es mejor – with you my world is better.
