Depende Lyrics in English Jarabe de Palo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Depende by Jarabe de Palo from Spanish to English.
That white be white
And that black be black
That one and one be two
Because numbers are exact
It depends
That we're here on loan
That today the sky's cloudy
That one is born and then dies
That this story has ended
It depends
It depends
What does it depend on?
Depending on how you look at it, everything depends
It depends
What does it depend on?
Depending on how you look at it everything depends
That love is beautiful
More than ever in spring
That tomorrow the sun comes out
Because we're in August
It depends
That with the passing of time
The wine gets better
That everything that goes up comes down
From down to up and from up to down
It depends
It depends
What does it depend on?
Depending on how you look at it, everything depends
It depends
What does it depend on?
Depending on how you look at it everything depends
That you've met nobody
That kisses you like I do
That there's no other man in your life
That benefits from you
It depends
And if you want to say yes
Every time you open your mouth
That makes you very happy
That it's the day of your wedding
It depends
It depends
What does it depend on?
Depending on how you look at it, everything depends
It depends
What does it depend on?
Depending on how you look at it everything depends
It depends
What does it depend on?
Depending on how you look at it everything depends
It depends
What does it depend on?
Depending on how you look at it everything depends
It depends
What does it depend on?
Depending on how you look at it everything depends
It depends
What does it depend on?
Depending on how you look at it everything depends

SONG MEANING

“Depende” is Jarabe de Palo’s playful reminder that life is anything but fixed. Line by line the singer throws out “truths” — white is white, black is black, one plus one is two — only to shrug them off with the catchy refrain “Depende” (It depends). Whether he is talking about the weather, aging wine, or a kiss that no one else can match, the message stays the same: everything changes according to the lens you choose.

Instead of giving tidy answers, the song celebrates uncertainty and perspective. It nudges listeners to loosen up, laugh at contradictions, and notice how context colors every experience. In short, reality is negotiable, so why not pick a viewpoint that fills your day with sunshine, music, and a little mischief?
