El Universo Sobre Mi Lyrics in English Amaral

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Universo Sobre Mi by Amaral from Spanish to English.
Only one candle's left
Lit in the middle of the cake
And it wants to burn out
The guests are already leaving
You and I look at each other
Without really knowing what to say
Nothing that reveals what I feel
That this day was perfect
And I seem so happy
Nothing, just that it's been a long time
That it's hard for me to smile
I want to live, I want to scream
I want to feel the universe over me
I want to run in freedom
I want to find my place
A joke of fate
A speeding melody
In a song that never ends
I've had enough already
I need someone that understands
That I'm alone in the middle of a crowd
What can I do
I want to live, I want to scream
I want to feel the universe over me
I want to run in freedom
I want to cry with happiness
I want to live
I want to feel the universe over me
Like a castaway at sea
I want to find my place
Only to find my place
All the broken toys
All the crazy lovers
All the patent leather shoes
All the dollhouses
Where I threw parties
Where only I was
The forgotten spirit returns
Of the summer of love
I want to live, I want to scream
I want to feel the universe over me
I want to run in freedom
I want to cry with happiness
I want to live
I want to feel the universe over me
Like a castaway at sea
I want to find my place
Only to find my place
I want to live, I want to scream
I want to feel the universe over me
I want to run in freedom
I want to cry with happiness
I want to live
I want to feel the universe over me
Like a castaway at sea
I want to find
My place
Only one candle's left
Lit in the middle of the cake
And it wants to burn out

SONG MEANING

Picture the scene: the birthday guests have left, only one candle still flickers on the cake, and the room feels both magical and painfully quiet. In that tender silence, the singer realises that although the day looked perfect from the outside, inside she is restless. The remaining flame becomes a symbol of her last spark of patience with pretending everything is fine.

The chorus explodes like a super-nova: “Quiero vivir, quiero gritar, quiero sentir el universo sobre mí.” It is a raw wish to break free, to swap polite smiles for genuine laughter, tears and adventure. She longs to escape the dollhouses, patent-leather shoes and other relics of childhood, and to discover her own place in the vast cosmic party. The song turns that private yearning into an uplifting anthem for anyone who has ever felt alone in a crowd yet still believes the universe is waiting to be embraced — wide-eyed, loud and utterly alive.
