Castillo De Arena Lyrics in English El Pescao

Home / Lyrics Translation / El Pescao / Castillo De Arena

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Castillo De Arena by El Pescao from Spanish to English.

Like the waves do, I come close to you

Unraveling

If there's no beach left, I'll crash

Only with your skin

Damn tide, it always pushes me away at sunset

The moon calls me and the sun goes down

I've lost you again

And I spend the night searching for you at the bottom of the sea

I look for you on the beach

By sea I know that you'll appear

I only have to make

A sandcastle under your feet

Sometimes I feel you when I lie in the sun

And you follow my footprints when I leave

It's worth looking for you, it's worth waiting

And the next day there's no sun left

Nobody goes to the sea

The waves get bored looking for you

You won't appear

A boat tells me that it's over

Summer ended yesterday

I'm leaving the beach, now I only know

How to disappear

And I spend the night searching for you at the bottom of the sea

I look for you on the beach

By sea I know that you'll appear

I only have to make

A sandcastle under your feet

Sometimes I feel you when I lie in the sun

And you follow my footprints when I leave

It's worth looking for you

It's worth stopping to listen to you

If you keep talking to me

I keep listening to you

I wake up waiting for you

And I sleep imagining you

SONG MEANING

Imagine the storyteller as a wave that keeps rolling toward a mysterious lover on the shore. Each surge of water brings him closer, yet every sunset snatches her away again, pulling him back into the deep. He spends his nights diving through memories "in the fondo del mar" and his days combing the sand, convinced that if he can just build the perfect castillo de arena (sandcastle) under her feet, she will appear.

The song paints a bittersweet picture of summer love - beautiful, fleeting, and stubbornly hopeful. The beach becomes a stage where tides represent longing, the moon signals loss, and a humble sandcastle stands for faith. Even when the season ends and others abandon the shore, the singer vows that searching, listening, and dreaming of her is still "worth it." It is a gentle reminder that some feelings are as temporary as summer, yet as powerful as the sea.
