La Huida Lyrics in English Ismael Serrano

Home / Lyrics Translation / Ismael Serrano / La Huida

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Huida by Ismael Serrano from Spanish to English.

She has fifteen springs, few lies that she can tell

Two first-year earrings, and she still hasn't seen the sea

While she waits for him on the sidewalk, the world collapses

He has sixteen Augusts and a cloud that he stole

And verses from Extremoduro flying around the room

While he dreams of her he copies a poem that he'll later make his own

And, like every afternoon, the city freezes at the instant

In which he comes by to pick her up

"How was class?"

"You were late"

"Don't scold me, come"

And she presses the folder against her chest, and in the sky

Smoke anemones, coral antennas

"If you want, babe, I'll kidnap you one day and take you to see the sea"

One ordinary afternoon he'll come to get her

With his soul in a handkerchief, with dad's car

"Get on the ship, girl"

"This is the getaway that I promised you"

I hope that they have good luck, just like we dreamed it

And that the National Four may carry them to paradise

"Love, why are you crying?"

"What's the matter with you?"

"Maybe it's that I'm happy"

And right after passing Despeñaperros sleep comes over them

And the urge to share sweat

"I stop and we sleep"

Outside the cold stays with the dark night

After a while, the car gets filled with steam and flights

On endless beaches, endless road

Desert sands, a thousand sunsets that end in you

It won't be the light of dawn that will wake them

Nor a roaring big wave, it won't be the smell of salt that

A couple of cops shouting at them

Like the glass of dreams, on the way to the station

A couple of lives have shattered amid fights and shouts

Who would think of it? A cloud dissolves and a wave breaks

And back to the city, where it never tastes of salt

Skin and rain, that sometimes kisses you

They head home, they hear howls, blows that don't stop

The old folks forbade them to go out, time kept plowing their lives

Burning poems, endless road

Back towards home, a thousand sunsets that end without you

The city kept collapsing, on the sidewalk in the meantime

Smoke anemones, coral antennas

He gets lost in the mist and she only remembers when she looks at the sea

The doubt of being alive assaults her and she remembers some escape

When she still didn't know how to lie

"Love, why are you crying?"

"What's the matter with you?"

"Maybe it's that I'm happy"

SONG MEANING

La Huida invites us to jump into the backseat with two Spanish teenagers who are bursting with first-love excitement.

She is 15, he is 16, and both are tired of grey sidewalks and over–protective parents. Their big plan is daring yet simple: borrow Dad’s car, speed down the A-4 highway, and at last touch the sea they have only dreamed about. Along the road they swap poems, whisper secret hopes, and promise each other endless sunsets. For a brief, magical night the world feels wide open.

Reality, however, catches up fast. A pair of Guardia Civil officers flashes their lights, innocence shatters like glass, and the couple is hauled back home. Days turn into years, family fights replace stolen kisses, and the dream of escape fades into city smog. Still, every time she gazes at the ocean she remembers that single wild night, and the bittersweet question comes back: “¿Será que soy feliz?” The song is a nostalgic movie about first love, crushed dreams, and the stubborn spark of hope that refuses to die.
