Se Que Volverás Lyrics in English by El Arrebato
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Se Que Volverás by El Arrebato from Spanish to English.
Ayer leí tu carta
Yesterday I read your letter
Tan los hasta la mitad
Just halfway
Los ojos se me nublaron
My eyes clouded over
No pude leer mas
I couldn't read anymore
Lloro como un gran niño
I cry like a big child
Lloro si, de rabia y dolor
I cry yes, from rage and pain
De rabia, porque te burlaste
From rage, because you mocked me
Y de dolor por mi
And from pain for me
Porque yo se que no volverás
Because I know you won't return
Porque yo se que no volverás
Because I know you won't return
Porque yo se que no volverás
Because I know you won't return
Porque yo se que no volverás
Because I know you won't return
Seras como un recuerdo
You'll be like a memory
Con algo de miel y de hiel
With a bit of honey and gall
Seras como una nube
You'll be like a cloud
Que me oculta el sol
That hides the sun from me
Porque yo se que no volverás
Because I know you won't return
Porque yo se que no volverás
Because I know you won't return
Porque yo se que no volverás
Because I know you won't return
Porque yo se que no volverás
Because I know you won't return

Did you like this lyrics translation?
hiel — gall / bitterness
Hiel literally translates to "gall" or "bile", but it's used metaphorically to mean "bitterness" or "rancor". It's a strong, evocative word that isn't commonly found in everyday conversation or many songs.
In the context of "Se Que Volverás", the singer uses hiel to describe the bitter part of a memory: "Seras como un recuerdo / Con algo de miel y de hiel" (You will be like a memory / With something of honey and of gall/bitterness). This contrast with "miel" (honey) powerfully conveys the mixed emotions of a painful past relationship, making it a memorable and impactful word choice.
