No Sabe Dónde Va Lyrics in English Amaral
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song No Sabe Dónde Va by Amaral from Spanish to English.
Uh, no sabe a dónde va
Uh, she doesn't know where she's going
Pero sí sabe que algún día llegará
But she does know that someday she'll arrive
Uh, no tiene maldad
Uh, she has no malice
Y sus amigos creen que pronto volverá
And her friends believe that she'll soon return
La vida en la pequeña aldea
Life in the small village
Trabajando por la tierra le empezaba a marchitar
Working the land was starting to wither her
Y se ha marchado sin maletas
And she's left without suitcases
Y con la cabeza llena de historias que inventar
And with her head full of stories to invent
Uh, no sabe a dónde va
Uh, she doesn't know where she's going
Pero sí sabe que algún día llegará
But she does know that someday she'll arrive
Uh, no tiene maldad
Uh, she has no malice
Y sus amigos creen que pronto volverá
And her friends believe that she'll soon return
Le han enseñado a ser valiente
They've taught her to be brave
A querer bien a su gente
To love her people well
A saber cuándo escuchar
To know when to listen
Ahora ella toma la palabra
Now she takes the floor
Ahora se marcha de casa
Now she leaves home
Quiere ver el mundo, hacerlo suyo
She wants to see the world, make it hers
Uh, no sabe a dónde va
Uh, she doesn't know where she's going
Y de momento lo ha dejado todo atrás
And for now she's left everything behind
Sabe muy bien lo que se siente
She knows very well what it feels like
Cuando nadie te comprende
When nobody understands you
Y estás fuera de lugar
And you're out of place
Porque su mundo es diferente
Because her world is different
Y parece siempre ausente
And she always seems absent
Sólo un bicho raro con pocos años
Just a weirdo, young in years
Le acompañan las canciones
She's accompanied by songs
Las antiguas grabaciones
The old recordings
Que guardaba en el desván
That she kept in the attic
El tocadiscos de su hermana
Her sister's record player
Con la aguja mal templada
With the poorly adjusted needle
Todavía suena mientras ella se aleja
It still plays as she walks away
Uh, no sabe a dónde va
Uh, she doesn't know where she's going
Pero sí sabe que algún día llegará
But she does know that someday she'll arrive
Uh, no sabe a dónde va
Uh, she doesn't know where she's going
Pero no va olvidar de dónde viene
But she won't forget where she comes from
Porque es todo lo que tiene
Because it's all she has
Mientras ella aprende a caminar
While she learns to walk

Did you like this lyrics translation?
marchitar — to wither / to fade away
Marchitar means 'to wither' or 'to fade away', often used for plants. It's a vivid and somewhat melancholic word that paints a strong picture.
In this song, it's used metaphorically to describe how the protagonist's life in the small village, working the land, was starting to 'wither' her spirit. It beautifully conveys her feeling of being stifled and her need for change, making it a powerful choice to entice learners.
