Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Foto De Los Dos [Versión Salsa] by Carlos Vives from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

Today I found a photo of us

Inside a heart

Posing at the station

I looked for you on an old record player

And that song that you liked so much

Chorus 1

Today nostalgia squeezes my soul

Today the ghosts of your love call me

Today I want to tell you why I never

could forget you

Chorus 1

And I remember that your love with me knew no distance

And the kisses that we gave each other so much were like water

And the light that came to our lives

That lit up the house that was our house

Today I wish I could turn back time to not leave it

Go back to my town

Along the old road

And retrace my steps

And start again

Go back to the house

Like the wind comes back

To hug you again

And start again

Verse 2

Today I rummaged through the heart again

And I found your love sitting on the armchair

I recalled the salt of your pain

The afternoon that, weeping goodbye, we loved each other

Chorus 2

Today nostalgia squeezes my soul

Today the ghosts of your love call me

Today I want to tell you why I could never forget you

And I remember that your love with me knew nothing of distance

And the kisses that we gave each other so much were like water

And the light that came to our lives

That lit up the house that was our house

Today I wish I could turn back time to not leave it

Go back to my town

Along the old road

And retrace my steps

And start again

Go back to the house

Like the wind comes back

To hug you again

And start again

Bridge

Go back to my town

Chorus 3

Go back to my town

Along the old road

And retrace my steps

And start again

Go back to the house

Like the wind comes back

To hug you again

And start again

Outro

Start again

SONG MEANING

Carlos Vives, the beloved Colombian singer, turns a bittersweet memory into a vibrant salsa celebration in “La Foto De Los Dos [Versión Salsa].” The story begins with a simple discovery: an old photo of two lovers tucked inside a paper heart. That small snapshot unlocks a flood of memories—vinyl records spinning their favorite song, kisses that flowed “like water,” and a house once glowing with shared love. Even while the percussion, brass, and piano invite you to dance, the lyrics paint a picture of nostalgia squeezing the soul as the singer realizes he has never truly let go of his past love.

At the heart of the song lies a powerful wish: to rewind time, walk the “camino viejo” back to his hometown, and “empezar de nuevo” (start again). Vives captures the universal longing to fix past mistakes and rekindle a love that felt limitless, where distance meant nothing. The contrast between the upbeat salsa groove and the aching plea to return home makes the track both uplifting and poignant—perfect for dancing with a smile while learning Spanish words filled with emotion. Let the melody move your feet, and let the lyrics remind you that sometimes the past dances right alongside us, inviting us to begin anew.
