Cien Gaviotas Lyrics in English Duncan Dhu

“Cien Gaviotas” feels like a brisk sea breeze on a moody afternoon. Duncan Dhu paints a restless coastal scene: waves are crashing harder than usual, the sky is stubbornly gray, and the city feels boxed in by invisible walls. In the middle of that turbulence, a lonely voice longs to break free, wondering where one hundred seagulls might be flying. The birds become a symbol of freedom and escape, a reminder that possibilities exist far beyond the horizon.

The song mixes melancholy with a reckless invitation to live in the moment. Our narrator searches for someone to share simple pleasures, from tearing down those “walls” of routine to sipping rum and beer while the tide rolls in. Even so, there is a sting of regret—he knows chances can slip away just as quickly as seagulls disappear into the sky. “Cien Gaviotas” captures that bittersweet feeling of youth: craving adventure, fearing missed opportunities, and ultimately finding hope in the idea that somewhere out there, wings are still beating toward something new.
