20 De Enero Lyrics in English La Oreja de Van Gogh

Imagine stepping off a night train in the chilly early hours of 20 January, your heart pounding faster than the locomotive you just left. That is exactly where La Oreja de Van Gogh drops us. The singer-narrator has packed books, old photos and even sketches of a hoped-for smile, all in preparation for a long-awaited reunion. The journey is filled with daydreams and reflections shimmering on the train windows, but everything crystallises in a single, electrifying instant: their eyes finally meet. In that flash she realises life without this person would feel empty, so she vows to love them endlessly — “te quiero, te adoro y te vuelvo a querer.”

The song is a celebration of destiny, anticipation and the kind of love that makes you board a train that “doesn’t sleep.” Each verse captures a snapshot of that winter dawn: the salty pull of longing, the warmth of an absent coat, the poetic glow of midday sun bouncing off the glass. By the chorus, all the miles, doubts and silences melt into one simple truth: being together is worth any distance. “20 De Enero” invites us to relive the magic of that first look and the promise that follows, turning an everyday date on the calendar into an unforgettable love story.
