El Ultimo Vals Lyrics in English La Oreja de Van Gogh

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Ultimo Vals by La Oreja de Van Gogh from Spanish to English.
Like almost always
When something dies
Nostalgia is born looking for a heart
But mine is weird
And even if it's messy
It's impermeable to pain
Happiness
Is makeup
With a friendly smile
Since that you aren't here
You will always be
Welcome to this place
To my list of obsessions
Of names to forget
How to remember you
Without looking back
I will never forget the last waltz
When everything ends
And the silence speaks
Only your pupils will know that it was true
And among the glass
Little pieces of that afternoon
Where we began to dream
Happiness
Is makeup
With a friendly smile
Since that you aren't here
You will always be
Welcome to this place
To my list of obsessions
Of names to forget
How to remember you
Without looking back
I will never forget the last
You will always be
Welcome to this place
To my list of obsessions
Of names to forget
How to remember you
Without looking back
I will never forget the last waltz

SONG MEANING

“El Último Vals” paints the scene of a bittersweet farewell wrapped in the elegance of a final dance. The singer looks back on a relationship that has ended, describing how nostalgia sneaks in the moment something dies, yet her heart remains “impermeable to pain.” Happiness is only a temporary makeup, a polite smile worn to cover the emptiness left behind. Even so, she keeps the memory of that last waltz safely stored on a private list of obsessions, a place where names are meant to be forgotten but never truly are.

The lyrics invite us to imagine shattered glass reflecting fragments of a once–shared dream, while silence becomes the only witness to what really happened between the two lovers. Although she tries to move forward without looking back, the memory of that final dance lingers, promising never to fade. In short, this song is a poetic tribute to the lingering echoes of love’s last moments: the struggle to let go, the masks we wear to hide our hurt, and the way one unforgettable goodbye can play on repeat in our hearts.
