El 28 Lyrics in English La Oreja de Van Gogh

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El 28 by La Oreja de Van Gogh from Spanish to English.
The 28 arrives late and, nervous, I look at the clock
Rain starts with me on a day of bright sun
Far off, the memory of a love appears
He doesn't see me, he walks absent-minded
It happened long ago
And I began to remember
And I strolled through my mind and found
That corner that I left you
Where I keep the moments that
I didn't forget
I relive that night that we forgot everything else
The sky turned red
We saw the sun yawn
He's lost among the crowd
I've gotten lost too
The 28's already gone
The memory of a yesterday
And I began to remember
And I strolled through my mind and found
That corner that I left you
Where I keep the moments that
I didn't forget
And yes, I want to know
If you too
Remember anything from that café
That I wait for sometimes without understanding
Why
And I strolled through my mind and found
That corner that I left you
Where I keep the moments that
I didn't forget

SONG MEANING

“El 28” is a nostalgic trip on a seemingly ordinary city bus that turns into a moving time-machine. While the narrator waits for route 28, a sudden rain shower and a late schedule open the floodgates of memory. Spotting a former love who walks by without noticing her, she is swept back to the “corner” of her mind where she has stored the brightest flashes of their past: a crimson sky, a yawning sun, and a night when the rest of the world disappeared. The bus comes and goes, but her thoughts linger, replaying each unforgettable moment like snapshots in a secret album.

Bittersweet and reflective, the song captures how everyday routines can spark powerful recollections. The unanswered question—Does the other person remember too?—hangs in the air, underscoring the fragile line between shared history and solitary remembrance. Listening feels like riding through a rainy city while peeking into someone’s heart, experiencing the mix of warmth, longing, and gentle regret that comes with remembering a love that has already left the stop.
