Quien Encendió La Luz Lyrics in English Guitarricadelafuente

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Quien Encendió La Luz by Guitarricadelafuente from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
The day that I was born the lanterns lit up
The lights went out from El Cerro to Bajas Flores
I'm a mountain kid, my loves are from La Cantera
The oils lit the lanterns at dawn
Chorus 1
I soothe the wait with the comfort that I'll return
You left it on, now I dream that you come back
You left it on, now I dream that you already come back
You left it on, now I dream that you already come back
You left it on, now I dream that you already come back
You left it on, now I dream that you already return
If I could dress you in velvet and licorice
You would give me a little kiss on the tip of the nose
Chorus 2
You left it on, now I dream that you already come back
You left it on, now I dream that you already come back
You left it on, now I dream that you already come back
You left it on, now I dream that you already return
Who turned on the light? Who turned on the light?
Chorus 2
Before I was blind, now I only dream that you come back
You left it on, now I dream that you already come back
You left it on, now I dream that you already come back
Verse 2
You left it on, now I dream that you already come back
Chorus 3
You left it on, now I dream that you already return
If I could dress you with the gold of Potosí
I would build you a little bridge from Santiago to Madrid
Bridge
It's that you let it light and now the bonfire burns
It's that you let it light and now the bonfire burns
It's that you let it light and now the bonfire burns
It's that you let it light and now it sparks a blaze
Chorus 4
You left it on, now I dream that you already come back
You left it on, now I dream that you already come back
You left it on, now I dream that you already come back
You left it on, now I dream that you already come back

SONG MEANING

Quien Encendió La Luz feels like a moonlit serenade whispered from the Spanish countryside. Guitarricadelafuente paints a picture of someone who once filled his world with brightness, then vanished, leaving every lamp still glowing. Those flickering oil lanterns and street-corner faroles become symbols of hope and yearning – the singer walks through memories where even hills (“El Cerro”) and neighborhoods (“Bajas Flores”) remember the moment that light first sparked. Each chorus repeats the urgent question “¿Quién encendió la luz?”, as if he cannot decide whether to thank love for illuminating everything or blame it for making the darkness harder to bear.

Wrapped in playful promises – dressing the loved one in velvet and licorice, building a bridge from Santiago to Madrid – the song mixes earthy folk imagery with almost magical hyperbole. Beneath the sweet guitar plucks lies the heart of the story: someone left their light burning inside him, and now every night is spent dreaming of their return. It is a warm, rustic ode to the power of love to ignite us, to linger like glowing embers, and to guide us back home even when the path is dim.
