Cuéntame Al Oido Lyrics in English La Oreja de Van Gogh

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cuéntame Al Oido by La Oreja de Van Gogh from Spanish to English.
Tell me in my ear
Very slowly and very softly
Why does it have so much light
This gloomy day
Tell me in my ear
If that you've said is sincere
Or they're disguised phrases
Waiting for just a wink
Tell me
Tell me
The sky lying down
Stopped time in the kiss
And that kiss stopped me in time
The sky lying down
Stopped time in the kiss
And that kiss stopped me in time
Tell me in my ear
What does that moment taste like
Where are the days today
When that was a dream
Tell me in my ear
Where do your fears sleep today
If you still keep their caresses
In the memory box
Tell me
Tell me
The sky lying down
Stopped time in the kiss
And that kiss stopped me in time
The sky lying down
Stopped time in the kiss
And that kiss stopped me in time
The sky lying down
Stopped time in the kiss
And that kiss stopped me in time
The sky lying down
It stopped us in time
It stopped us in time
Tell me in my ear

SONG MEANING

Cuéntame al Oído invites us into an intimate conversation where two lovers whisper secrets that only the heart can truly hear. The narrator wonders why a seemingly gray day feels so bright, hinting that love can light up even the dullest moments. Every question she asks—about the sincerity of sweet words, the taste of a once-in-a-lifetime moment, or where past fears now hide—draws us deeper into memories of a magical kiss that seemed to freeze time itself.

At its core, the song is a tender mix of nostalgia and hopeful curiosity. It captures that universal desire to relive a perfect instant and confirm that the emotions shared were real. By urging her partner to “tell me in my ear,” the singer shows how love’s most powerful truths are often spoken softly, kept close, and cherished forever.
