Ruido Lyrics in English Amaral

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ruido by Amaral from Spanish to English.
Intro
You showed up out of nowhere
Like a flash of light
Intro
When I held your gaze
The noise went quiet
Intro
The noise of missed calls
Noise of empty words
Intro
Noise of shutters that close
Already daylight
Verse 1
And you know nothing about me
And I know nothing about you
Verse 1
You don't know what I want
Nor do you know how I think
Verse 1
If I'm alone or we're a thousand
You don't know who I sleep with
Chorus 1
You showed up out of nowhere
Like a flash of light
Chorus 1
When I held your gaze
The noise went quiet
Noise
Verse 2
If I'm from the Southern Hemisphere
Or if I came from the north
Verse 2
If I'm plummeting
Or I'm staying afloat
Verse 2
You don't know what to expect from me
Nor how to pronounce my name
Chorus 2
You showed up out of nowhere
Like a flash of light
Chorus 2
When I held your gaze
The noise went quiet
Bridge
Now time is relative
It doesn't pass for the two of us
You and I have survived
Chorus 3
So much noise
Noise
Noise

SONG MEANING

Noise, noise, noise… The singer’s world is buzzing with missed calls, half-meant words, and the metallic clang of shutters at dawn. Then, in a split second, someone steps in “like a flash of light,” and every racket stops. “Ruido” is Amaral’s ode to that electrifying eye-lock that silences the chaos of modern life. We don’t know where either person is from, what they believe, or who they sleep next to – and that is exactly the point. The song celebrates how a raw, wordless connection can mute the background static and make time feel irrelevant.

By repeating the word ruido just as the instruments swirl louder, the track reminds us of the clutter we live with, only to strip it away with a single gaze. It is both a love song and a mindfulness anthem: when two souls truly meet, the universe goes quiet and everything unnecessary fades into the distance. Enjoy the track, and see if you can feel that moment when the noise around you switches off too!
