Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Flotando by Francisca Valenzuela from Spanish to English.

How is it that I could find you?

Something binds us, something binds us

Is this what it's about in the end?

I never knew it, I never knew it

I tell it to you, I tell it to me

We can feel it

This is for real

And I'm running hard, I don't know where I'm going

I feel something and my mind sneaks everywhere

This is what it feels like, that people talk about

It's like feeling everything and being dreaming

And through my eyes I see, even if they're closed

And without saying anything, you hold me in your arms

Give me a break, give me a hug

And like that, at last, at last be floating

Floating

It's when you say: "It's going to pass

What hurts the most, what hurts the most"

Mmmm, Hah-ah

And it's knowing that you will be there when I wake up

When I wake up

I tell it to you, I tell it to me

We can feel it

This is for real

And I'm running hard, I don't know where I'm going

I feel something and my mind sneaks everywhere

This is what it feels like, that people talk about

It's like feeling everything and being dreaming

And through my eyes I see, even if they're closed

And without saying anything, you hold me in your arms

Give me a break, give me a hug

And like that, at last, at last be floating

Floating

And there are no words to explain

What you give me

You and I in the depths

Our love is a sea

And when night falls, inventions wake up

Like a haunted house, ghosts and memories

I go through all that before I wake up

How good it is to know that you'll be there if I'm afraid

And I'm running hard, I don't know where I'm going

I feel something and my mind sneaks everywhere

This is what it feels like, that people talk about

It's like feeling everything and being dreaming

And through my eyes I see, even if they're closed

And without saying anything, you hold me in your arms

Give me a break, give me a hug

And like that, at last, at last be floating

Floating

Hah-ah, hah-ah

Na-na-na-na

Na, na-na-na-na-na

SONG MEANING

Flotando feels like the instant you realize you are falling in love and the world suddenly becomes lighter. Over a pulsing, dream-pop groove, Chilean singer-songwriter Francisca Valenzuela describes bumping into a soulmate and being swept into a weightless state where logic takes a back seat. She runs “fuertemente” without knowing where she is going, yet every sensation is amplified: eyes see even when closed, silence speaks, and a simple hug turns into a ticket to the clouds. The lyrics capture that famous buzz people talk about, when your mind drifts everywhere at once and reality feels half awake, half dream.

At the same time, the song is about safety and trust. Francisca admits there are “fantasmas y recuerdos,” but she finds comfort knowing the other person will still be there when she opens her eyes. Love becomes an ocean that holds her up, so pain loses its sting and nighttime fears shrink. By the final chorus, the repeated “Flotando” is not just a pretty image. It is a promise that with this connection, both hearts can rise above doubts and simply float.
