GALGO Lyrics in English Belén Aguilera

Home / Lyrics Translation / Belén Aguilera / GALGO

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song GALGO by Belén Aguilera from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

I'd never trusted myself so little

The light of all my ideas has burned out

I wish I knew how to make it there

But it's her who guides when I'm blind

Chorus 1

What could I have done wrong?

Has it been a pile of things

Or something specific?

Chorus 1

If I were an animal I know I'd be a Greyhound

Everyone benefits from me winning something

Running so fast now every time I go out

I take the beating to show I'm worth it

If I were an animal I know I'd be a Greyhound

Verse 2

One day I decided that what you decided was better

Than what was going through my mind

That was the day the light went out

Stopping being me the one who turns it on

And now everything's in the dark

And I'm so insecure

And, skin and bones, my figure

Where is it?

Chorus 2

If I were an animal I know I'd be a Greyhound

Everyone benefits from me winning something

Running so fast now every time I go out

I take the beating to show I'm worth it

If I were an animal I know I'd be a Greyhound

Bridge

I always did it all for the love of art

And he's my only master, I know he's gonna kill me

It keeps me awake to disappoint them

If this is a race and I were running

Chorus 3

If I were an animal I know I'd be a Greyhound

Everyone benefits from me winning something

Running so fast now every time I go out

I take the beating to show I'm worth it

Outro

If I were an animal I know I'd be a Greyhound

SONG MEANING

“GALGO” compares Belén Aguilera’s own struggle with self-confidence to the life of a racing greyhound. In the lyrics she remembers the moment her inner light switched off, leaving her “in the dark” and doubting every idea she once trusted. Like a galgo trained to run for everyone else’s profit, she feels pushed to sprint through life, endure the blows, and win just so others can benefit.

Despite the song’s driving beat, the message is raw and vulnerable: chasing approval drains her, strips her down “to the bone,” and keeps sleep out of reach. By calling herself a greyhound again and again, Belén highlights the cycle of working “por amor al arte” (for the love of art) while knowing that very devotion might destroy her. The track is both a confession and a quiet rebellion, urging listeners to notice when they’re running for others instead of lighting their own path.
