A Veces Lyrics in English by Ana Torroja
Juramento means 'oath' or 'vow'. It’s a powerful and dramatic word you don’t hear every day, used for a very serious and binding promise.
In the song, the singer talks about making decisions "a pesar del juramento" (in spite of the vow). This suggests a love so conflicted that it might defy a sacred promise, creating a compelling story of high emotional stakes.
Have you ever been in a relationship where you feel two completely opposite things at the same time? Ana Torroja gets it. This song is all about that confusing push-and-pull. One minute she's singing, "A veces tengo ganas de perderte" (Sometimes I feel like losing you), and the next, "A veces tengo ganas de que estés" (Sometimes I feel like having you here). It's a song for anyone who has felt that deep conflict.
She's not pretending everything is perfect. She admits there are things to say that are "cosas que no son bonitas" (things that aren't pretty) and that she can't fake her feelings just to follow the rules. She just wants to be loved like it was the first time, but she knows it's a gamble. My favorite line is when she says, "A veces sólo tiro la moneda / Sabiendo que también puedo perder" (Sometimes I just toss a coin / Knowing that I can also lose). It's such a clear way to describe staying in a relationship that might not work out, leaving it all up to chance.
