El Primer Dia Del Resto De Mi Vida Lyrics in English La Oreja de Van Gogh

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Primer Dia Del Resto De Mi Vida by La Oreja de Van Gogh from Spanish to English.
Between your clouds and my silhouettes
You kept covering the sky with crosses
That ended up blocking the sun
Your voice sounded so sorry
Kneeling like a child on the shore
Unearthing a bit of your love
And now that I say goodbye to you
And my wings open
You ask me for forgiveness
I loved you like nobody else
Like breathing
I loved you like fire loves wind
On a night of San Juan
And now that I'm leaving you give me
The moon over the sea
Now that there's no more destiny
Than the lonely road
There's little left to say
And little to remember
That the river cries as it passes
Because it will never return
The tears that taste most bitter
Are the ones that carry the words inside
That stayed in your heart
The night always brings some advice
But silence stokes the regrets
I was in your life a dance with no song
And now that I say goodbye to you
And my wings open
You ask me for forgiveness
I loved you like nobody else
Like breathing
I loved you like fire loves wind
On a night of San Juan
And now that I'm leaving you give me
The moon over the sea
Now that there's no more destiny
Than the lonely road
There's little left to say
And little to remember
That the river cries as it passes
Because it will never return
But I loved you like nobody else
Like breathing
I loved you like fire loves wind
On a night of San Juan
And now that I'm leaving you give me
The moon over the sea
Now that there's no more destiny
Than the lonely road
There's little left to say
And little to remember
That the river cries as it passes
Because it will never return
The first day of my life without you
I stitched your shadow to the departing wind
I kept a sigh from after leaving
I left a letter for my ghosts
The first day of my life without you
I covered memories with white sheets
I blew in your face all that I suffered
The music reached my window

SONG MEANING

El Primer Día del Resto de Mi Vida feels like that very first deep breath you take after a long cry. The singer looks back on a love that once burned as naturally as respirar but became eclipsed by regrets “cubriendo el cielo con las cruces.” Her partner finally kneels and asks forgiveness, yet the apology arrives when her alas are already unfolding. The lyrics paint powerful images—the magic of a midsummer night of San Juan, the river that weeps because it can never flow backward—to show how beautiful moments can turn bittersweet when they are trapped by silence instead of spoken.

Now she steps into freedom, sewing her ex’s shadow to the departing wind and covering old memories with white sheets. It is the first day of the rest of her life, and although sadness lingers, music drifts through her window to remind her that every ending cues a brand-new song. Listeners are invited to celebrate both the ache of goodbye and the thrill of starting over, learning that letting go can be as luminous as receiving “la luna sobre el mar.”
