Un Día Llegará Lyrics in English by Josh Groban
Soledad translates to "loneliness" or "solitude." While not extremely rare, it's a deeply evocative word that carries significant emotional weight in Spanish culture and music.
In "Un Día Llegará," Josh Groban sings, "Después de tanta soledad, yo volvería a sentir" (After so much loneliness, I would feel again). This word beautifully captures the longing and anticipation for love after a period of isolation, making it a central theme of hope and connection in the song.
Every verb in this song points at something that has not happened yet. Groban sings about someone who has not arrived, and he does it as though the meeting were already on the calendar: "Encontraré mi paz en ti" ("I will find my peace in you"), "Te abrazaré en el silencio" ("I will hold you in the silence"). No evidence is offered anywhere. There is only the future tense, used over and over until it starts to sound like proof.
What keeps the whole thing from floating away is that the waiting gets measured in ordinary things. A season turning: "Las hojas secas caerán y cuando llegue abril" ("The dry leaves will fall and when April arrives"). The end of a normal day: "Cuando se duerma la ciudad y se despida el sol" ("When the city falls asleep and the sun says goodbye"). Then on the final line the tense gives way and the future quietly becomes the present: "Y ese día llega, sé que vendrás a mí" ("And that day is coming, I know you will come to me"). Whether that is faith or plain stubbornness the song never says, and after four minutes of waiting it has earned the right not to.
