Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cuando Suba La Marea by Amaral from Spanish to English.

Estaríamos juntos todo el tiempo

We'd be together all the time

Hasta quedarnos sin aliento

Until we run out of breath

Y comernos el mundo, ¡Vaya ilusos!

And eat up the world, what fools!

Y volver a casa en año nuevo

And go back home on New Year's

Pero todo acabó y lo de menos

But it all ended and the least of it

Es buscar una forma de entenderlo

Is to look for a way to understand it

Yo solía pensar que la vida es un juego

I used to think that life is a game

Y la pura verdad es que aún lo creo

And the plain truth is that I still believe it

Y ahora sé que nunca he sido tu princesa

And now I know that I've never been your princess

Que no es azul la sangre de mis venas

That the blood in my veins isn't blue

Y ahora sé que el día que yo me muera

And now I know that the day I die

Me tumbaré sobre la arena

I'll lie down on the sand

Y que me lleve lejos cuando suba

And that it carry me far away when it rises

La marea

The tide

Por encima del mar de los deseos

Above the sea of desires

Han venido a buscarme hoy los recuerdos

Memories have come to look for me today

De los días salvajes, apurando

From the wild days, rushing

El futuro en la palma de nuestras manos

The future in the palm of our hands

Y ahora sé que nunca he sido tu princesa

And now I know that I've never been your princess

Que no es azul la sangre de mis venas

That the blood in my veins isn't blue

Y ahora sé que el día que yo me muera

And now I know that the day I die

Me tumbaré sobre la arena

I'll lie down on the sand

Y que me lleve lejos cuando suba

And that it carry me far away when it rises

La marea

The tide

Y ahora sé que el día que yo me muera

And now I know that the day I die

Me tumbaré sobre la arena

I'll lie down on the sand

Y que me lleve lejos cuando suba

And that it carry me far away when it rises

Y que me lleve lejos cuando suba

And that it carry me far away when it rises

La marea

The tide

Did you like this lyrics translation?

Cuando Suba La Marea paints a vivid picture of youthful dreams crashing against the shoreline of reality. At first, the singer recalls a pact of endless adventures, breathlessly trying to “eat the world” and come home just in time for New Year’s. Those memories shimmer with reckless optimism, yet they also expose how naïve the lovers were—believing life was a fairy tale and they were royalty destined to win every game.

The tide eventually rises, washing away crowns and castles in the sand. Realizing she was never anyone’s “princess,” the narrator embraces her own mortal heartbeat, choosing freedom over fantasy. The song’s refrain of lying on the beach and letting the water carry her away transforms the tide into a symbol of release: surrendering old illusions, welcoming change, and trusting that every wave can sweep us toward new horizons. It is a bittersweet but empowering anthem reminding us that letting go is sometimes the boldest adventure of all.
