4 " Lyrics in English Amaia Montero

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song 4 " by Amaia Montero from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
I must tell you that I want to tell
That I'm going crazy looking for an island in the sea
Verse 1
Where I can forget the good in your wrong
About your pretty face and start to think
Verse 1
That reason is a something that no longer matters to me
It must be that it had to happen
Verse 1
That I'm tired of hearing myself scream
I've hung up the gloves, that I can't take it anymore
Chorus 1
I want to nail an arrow in your wicked soul
Look you in the face, tell you that I'll never
Tell you the truth
Chorus 1
I'm looking for a love that tells me that I'm real
I'm looking for a way to always walk my own way
I'm looking for a light in your so desperate face
I'm begging God every night that you never leave
I'm looking for a flower that tells me that it's already spring
I'm looking for the four seconds I no longer have left
That there are so many things that I want to know and I don't find answers
That there are impossibles that one day you achieve without noticing
Verse 2
I must tell you that I want to tell
That for a while I've noticed that I don't care anymore
Verse 2
That you give your mouth to any stupid lost girl who wants to score
That I miss my freedom
That the price to pay has come out very expensive
Verse 2
That your moment of glory ended
That now it's my turn
That this is already over
I want to nail an arrow in your wicked soul
Look you in the face, tell you that I'll never
Tell you the truth
I'm looking for a love that tells me that I'm real
I'm looking for a way to always walk my own way
I'm looking for a light in your so desperate face
I'm begging God every night that you never leave
I'm looking for a flower that tells me that it's already spring
I'm looking for the four seconds I no longer have left
That there are so many things that I want to know and I don't find answers
That there are impossibles that one day you achieve without noticing
I'm looking for a flower that tells me that it's already spring
I'm looking for the four seconds I no longer have left
That there are so many things that I want to know and I don't find answers
That there are impossibles that one day you achieve without noticing

SONG MEANING

“4” is Amaia Montero’s fiery postcard from the edge of a breakup. The Spanish singer paints herself as an adventurer in search of a personal island where she can finally unplug from a toxic love. She’s torn between two impulses: ✧ escape and reclaim her freedom ("ando loca buscando una isla en el mar") and ✧ cling to the last sparks of passion ("ando rogándole a Dios cada noche que nunca te vayas"). This push-and-pull gives the song its electric tension.

Across the verses she lists everything she is “ando buscando” — a new love who validates her, a hint of spring, even four missing seconds that symbolize time already lost. Each wish becomes a stepping-stone toward self-discovery. By the time she declares “tu momento de gloria acabó, ahora me toca a mí” we feel her plotting a bold restart. “4” is ultimately a shout of resilience: it shows how heartbreak can spark the courage to chase impossible answers, dream of fresh beginnings, and finally walk the world a mi manera.
