I've gone a long time without hearing the waves

Breaking on the rocks

And that I'm surrounded

And here everyone shouts

But nobody listens

I've gone a long time without talking for a minute

With them

And that I'm surrounded

By a thousand and one sounds that lurk

My thoughts

That's why now I would like to be a bird

Fly away, go up very, very high

For a moment

Sit down for a while and let's talk without hurry

Have a drink

Maybe there's something you know and I don't know

What sense does it make to tell things that

Almost nobody understands?

But I've opened my eyes and I've seen

That it's better to be a lone wolf

What sense does it make to live so alone

Even though you are here?

It's no longer worth walking by your side

Looking at you and seeing nothing

That's why now I would like to be a bird

Fly away, go up very, very high

For a moment

Sit down for a while and let's talk without hurry

Have a drink

Maybe there's something you know and I don't know

Today I invite you

Sit down and tell me what love is for you

With your hands

Tell me a dream in which I appear

That's why now I would like to be a bird

Fly away, go up very, very high

With my gaze always fixed forward

Without caring what's below

That's why move, move, move, move

Move, move, move, move your a** and leave

That's why fly, fly, fly, fly

Fly, fly, fly, fly leave everything and go away

Very far

Did you like this lyrics translation?

"Vuela" is Jarabe de Palo's song about being surrounded by noise and still feeling completely alone. The singer opens by admitting it has been a long time since he heard the waves breaking on the rocks, "Mucho tiempo llevo sin oír las olas" (I haven't heard the waves in a long time). Everyone around him shouts, but nobody listens.

His answer is the chorus: "Por eso ahora querría ser un pájaro" (That's why now I'd like to be a bird), flying up "muy, muy alto" (very, very high). In between he asks someone to sit down, have a drink and talk without hurrying, because maybe they know something he doesn't. He even decides it's "mejor ser lobo solitario" (better to be a lone wolf) than to walk next to someone and "mirarte y no ver nada" (look at you and see nothing).

The ending is blunt and fun. "Mueve el culo y márchate" is a cheeky way of saying "get your butt moving and leave", and "lárgate" is a casual "get out of here". Watch the verb vuela too: it is the command "fly!", so the title is telling you to drop everything and go far away.
