Europa VII Lyrics in English La Oreja de Van Gogh

Europa VII imagines an astronaut who has lost contact with Earth and is floating helplessly through space. From her tiny window she watches our “diminuto punto azul” fade into a sea of stars. That overwhelming distance turns her cockpit into a confessional: she compares science with faith, whispers memories of home, and sees tears drift around her in weightlessness.

The song is ultimately a moving lesson in perspective. Faced with imminent collision and certain death, the astronaut removes the flag from her suit and writes, “Yo soy de la humanidad.” In that moment she realizes that life itself—no matter how small—matters far more than any border or banner. La Oreja de Van Gogh invites us to look back at Earth the way astronauts do: to marvel at its fragility, question our divisions, and remember that every human story is part of the same cosmic voyage.
