Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Loa Abrazos Rotos by Amaia Montero from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

We're what we never were, what we lacked

What I don't remember from that dawn

When we promised each other that for the first time

We're what we won't be

What we had left of that hungry wolf

Of that girl in flames

Of that slow step toward the sunset

Chorus 1

Where there were never questions, there will never be certainty

And where there was fire, the ashes remain

And I am so alone in my loneliness

And now the only thing that I want is just one answer

Make me fly one more time

What good are promises to me

If just touching me already drives me crazy

Chorus 1

What am I gonna do

Hold me and then

Let's swear one minute alone

Because even if I leave

Chorus 1

I'm already dying just to come back

Step away and come

There's nothing that we can do today

Verse 2

We were what we swore to each other

What broken hugs left us

Suspended lines

Always resigned to the end

We were more than two lovers

We were firewater, we were delirious

We were so many things

That in the end we couldn't give

Chorus 2

Where there were never questions, there will never be certainty

And where there was fire, the ashes remain

And I am so alone in my loneliness

And now the only thing that I want is just one answer

Make me fly one more time

What good are promises to me

If just touching me already drives me crazy

Chorus 2

What am I gonna do

Hold me and then

Let's swear one minute alone

Because even if I leave

Chorus 2

I'm already dying just to come back

Step away and come

There's nothing that we can do today

Today do

Chorus 2

There's nothing that we can do today

There's nothing that we can today

Outro

There's nothing that we can today

There's nothing that we can do today

What good are promises to me

If just touching me already drives me crazy

What am I gonna do

Hold me and then

Let's swear one minute alone

Because even if I leave

I'm already dying just to come back

Step away and come

There's nothing that we can do today

Step away slowly and now come

There's nothing that we can do today

And even if I leave I die just to come back

Two words, just eight letters

That will stay forever in the sand

That will stay forever inside me

SONG MEANING

Los Abrazos Rotos is a heartfelt duet where Amaia Montero and Álex Ubago look back on a love story that was once blazing hot and is now reduced to fragile ashes. The singers weave memories of wild nights, fiery passion, and whispered promises, then contrast them with the emptiness that follows a breakup. Their voices trade lines like bittersweet souvenirs, admitting that although the relationship is broken, the magnetic pull of one last embrace still feels irresistible.

At its core, the song captures that confusing moment when you know there is nothing left to fix yet you are still desperate for one more spark. The chorus pleads for a hug that can momentarily erase sorrow: “¿De qué me sirven las promesas si con que me toques ya me vuelvo loca?” It is a mix of nostalgia, longing, and acceptance, reminding listeners that love can be both intoxicating and painful, and that even shattered hugs can leave unforgettable marks on the heart.
