Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Volver by Julio Iglesias from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Yo adivino el parpadeo
I guess the flicker
De las luces que a lo lejos
From the lights that in the distance
Van marcando mi retorno
They're marking my return
Son las mismas que alumbraron
They're the same ones that lit up
Con sus pálidos reflejos
With its pale reflections
Hondas horas de dolor
Hondas hours of pain
Y aunque no quise el regreso
And even though I didn't want the return
Siempre se vuelve al primer amor
He always goes back to first love
La quieta calle donde el eco dijo
The quiet street where the echo said
Tuya es su vida, tuyo es su querer
Yours is his life, yours is his love
Bajo el burlón mirar de las estrellas
Under the mocking look at the stars
Que con indiferencia hoy me ven volver
That with indifference today they see me come back
Con la frente marchita
With a withered forehead
Las nieves del tiempo
The snows of time
Platearon mi sien
They silvered my sien
Sentir, que es un soplo la vida
Feeling, that life is a breath
Que veinte años no es nada
That twenty years is nothing
Que febril la mirada
How feverish the gaze
Errantes en las sombras
Wanderers in the Shadows
Te busca y te nombra
He looks for you and names you
Con el alma aferrada
With the soul clinging
A un dulce recuerdo
To a sweet memory
Que lloro otra vez
That I cry again
Tengo miedo del encuentro
I'm afraid of the encounter
Con el pasado que vuelve
With the past coming back
A encontrarse con mi vida
To meet my life
Tengo miedo de las noches
I'm afraid of nights
Que, pobladas de recuerdos
What, populated with memories
Encadenan mi soñar
They chain my dream
Pero el viajero que huye
But the fleeing traveler
Tarde o temprano detiene su andar
Sooner or later he stops his walk
Y aunque el olvido que todo destruye
And though the forgetfulness that destroys everything
Haya matado mi vieja ilusión
I've killed my old illusion
Guardo escondida una esperanza humilde
I keep hidden a humble hope
Que es toda la fortuna de mi corazón
Which is the whole fortune of my heart
