Verse 1
I want to feel the same things as always
I want to know if you still love me
I want to start again
Verse 1
I want to know what happened to your life
I want to know if everything is forgotten
To start again
Chorus 1
I who always played with your love until the end
And I was sure that you still loved me
Today seeing that everything is over what wouldn't I give
To start again
Day by day you made yourself love a little more
Who was going to tell me that once I would lose you
And today seeing myself so alone without you what wouldn't I give
To start again
Verse 2
I want to feel the same things as always
I want to know if you still love me
To start again
Chorus 2
I who always played with your love until the end
And I was sure that you still loved me
Today seeing that everything is over what wouldn't I give
To start again
Day by day you made yourself love a little more
Who was going to tell me that once I would lose you
And today seeing myself so alone without you what wouldn't I give
To start again
I who always played with your love until the end
And I was sure that you still loved me

SONG MEANING

“Volver A Empezar” is a heartfelt confession wrapped in a gentle pop melody, where Julio Iglesias looks back at a lost romance and pleads for a fresh start. The title means “To Start Again,” and throughout the lyrics he keeps repeating the phrase “When they begin the beguine,” referencing the classic dance tune that once ignited their love. Each verse is a swirl of nostalgia: he wants to feel “las cosas de siempre” (the same old feelings), learn what became of his former partner, and know if her love still lingers. The song paints a picture of someone who once took love for granted, only to realize—too late—how precious it was.

As the verses unfold, Iglesias admits he “played” with her love and confidently assumed she would never leave. Now, facing the silence she left behind, he aches to rewind time and erase past mistakes. The repeated wish “para volver a empezar” becomes a bittersweet refrain: a simple request that carries all the weight of remorse, longing, and hope. In short, this song is a poetic lesson on cherishing love before it slips away, set to the smooth, romantic sounds that made Julio Iglesias an international icon.
