Lo Que Pasó, Pasó Lyrics in English by Alvaro Soler, Marta Santos
Bandolera is a cool and uncommon word that translates to "female bandit" or "outlaw."
In this song, Alvaro Soler imagines all the things he would become for his love in the next life. He sings, "sería bandolera / Para robar la luna" (I would be a female bandit / To steal the moon). This imaginative line uses a powerful, adventurous image to express extreme devotion, showing he would do anything, even become an outlaw, for the one he loves.
This song is a really sweet and hopeful take on getting back together after a tough time. Alvaro and Marta sing about all the things they'd be for each other in the next life. He'd be a carpenter, just to "hacerte una casita en una esquinita en el cielo" (build you a little house in a corner of the sky), and she'd be an engineer to "diseñar un puente que me lleve hasta tu vera" (design a bridge that takes me to your side). They even imagine being a prisoner for each other! It's all about this deep desire to be together, no matter what.
But the best part is when they bring it back to the present. The chorus is a powerful reminder to move on: "Lo que pasó, pasó" (What happened, happened). They realize that what hurts today might not hurt tomorrow, and their story isn't finished. Instead of just dreaming about the next life, they ask a simple question: "¿Por qué no lo intentamos otra vez?" (Why don't we try again?). It's a song about believing in a second chance, right here and now.
