Despierta Lyrics in English Bunbury

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Despierta by Bunbury from Spanish to English.
Wake up, everything has changed
Nothing is like we had imagined
You wait for someone to move
Whatever happens, don't stay out
Today you feel different
Because you're different
What had always been the same has changed
It stayed hidden in you
And now it's so clear
It's a sunny day and there's no confusion
Wake up
Wake up already
Wake up
Wake up already
Breathe and drink the air
There's nobody that can take it from you anymore
Forget, it doesn't matter what they say
If it's not food, let the wind carry it away
Today you feel different
Because you're different
What had always been the same has changed
It stayed hidden in you
And now it's so clear
It's a sunny day and there's no confusion
Wake up
Wake up already
Wake up
Wake up already
Wake up
Wake up already
Wake up
Wake up already

SONG MEANING

Bunbury’s “Despierta” is a rousing wake-up call that invites us to shake off routine, breathe deeply, and step into a brand-new version of ourselves. The lyrics paint the moment right after an inner alarm rings: everything has changed, the sky is crystal-clear, and the only rule is not to stay on the sidelines. The repeated cry of “Despierta” (Wake up!) urges listeners to notice the possibilities hiding inside them and to claim the freedom that no one can steal.

Far from gloomy, the song feels like opening a window on a sunny morning. It celebrates personal reinvention—recognizing that “you feel different because you are different”—and encourages us to ignore unhelpful opinions that don’t nourish us. By the final chorus, Bunbury turns a simple word into a mantra: wake up, breathe the fresh air, and move forward with confidence and clarity.
