Dicen Que Dicen Lyrics in English La Oreja de Van Gogh

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dicen Que Dicen by La Oreja de Van Gogh from Spanish to English.
Falling is allowed
Getting up is an obligation
Behind the number zero the light has already gone out for us
Beyond the first of January
And with our eyes fixed back
You'll see yourself in a mirror with your future behind
Chorus 1
And right now they're sleeping in their drawer
Every kiss, every flower, every song!
They say that they say
Chorus 2
That announce that there's
A peculiar plant
Chorus 2
That makes you laugh at the witch Avería
Like the onion makes you cry
Under the right light everything is better
What makes the desert beautiful
Is that it keeps water inside
Think of how far the moon was
And how impossible to get there
And now with a simple ladder
Anyone can go to sleep
And right now they're sleeping in their drawer
Every kiss, every flower, every song!
They say that they say
That announce that there's
A peculiar plant
That makes you laugh at the witch Avería
Like the onion makes you cry
They say that they say
That announce that there's
A peculiar plant
That makes you laugh at the witch Avería
Like the onion makes you cry!
It makes you cry!

SONG MEANING

Dicen Que Dicen invites us into La Oreja de Van Gogh’s playful laboratory of optimism. It opens with the rallying cry “Caer está permitido, levantarse es una obligación” – falling is allowed, but rising is a must. From there, the lyrics bounce between vivid images: a light that flickers out after “zero,” a mirror that shows your past while your future stands right behind you, and a whimsical “peculiar vegetable” said to make you laugh at the dreaded bruja Avería just as an onion makes you cry. All these snapshots work together to remind us that setbacks, doubts, and even superstition lose their power when we choose to stand up, laugh, and look at life from a brighter angle.

The song’s second act turns everyday wonders into proof that the impossible is only temporary. Under the right light, anything looks better; a desert hides life-giving water; and the once unreachable moon can be conquered with a “simple escalera.” Wrapped in catchy pop melodies, these lines whisper a simple truth: hope is a habit, and imagination is its best friend. When the chorus tells us that every kiss, every flower, and every song is “sleeping in its drawer,” it is daring us to pull them out, dust them off, and dream louder. In short, “Dicen Que Dicen” is a sparkling reminder that resilience and curiosity can turn ordinary days into extraordinary adventures.
