Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Inmortal by La Oreja de Van Gogh from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

I have here under my dress well hidden

Your damned kisses

Verse 1

Butterflies that at dawn, returning home

They came with me

Verse 1

I have here under the bed every dawn

That we messed it up

Verse 1

I have so many things and none is in its place

I have here inside a glass the first

Wave of that morning

Verse 1

I have in one of my curls the rhythm of the tango

That you always danced

Verse 1

I have written in a sigh those words

That we never said

Verse 1

I have so many things and none is in its place

Chorus 1

After you I understood that time makes no friends

How short love was and how long forgetting

I will be your light, I will be a disguise

A lamppost that turns on when you pass

Any butterfly, the North Star

That comes alone and very lonely goes away

I will be the taste of a kiss in the sea

An old proverb about how to forget

I will be immortal, because I am your destiny

Verse 2

I have here under my pillow your photograph

In front of Santa Clara

Verse 2

It says more than a thousand words

And I answer it that I loved you too

Verse 2

I have the window open

Because that way time slips away without seeing you

Verse 2

I have so many things, I have them all in my mind

Chorus 2

After you I understood that time makes no friends

How short love was, and how long forgetting

I will be your light, I will be a disguise

A lamppost that turns on when you pass

Any butterfly, the North Star

That comes alone and very lonely goes away

I will be the taste of a kiss in the sea

An old proverb about how to forget

I will be immortal

Bridge

I will be that mole that adorns your skin

A dove close to wherever you are

A stroke of luck, the three-o'clock coffee

Some gaze that makes you go crazy

I will be the voice that warns on the train

A hunch that everything will be fine

I will be immortal

Bridge

I will be immortal, because I am your destiny

SONG MEANING

Inmortal feels like rifling through a secret box of memories that refuses to stay shut. The singer has tucked away every trace of a past love – cursed kisses, disheveled sheets, a photograph by Santa Clara – yet each souvenir keeps fluttering back like stubborn butterflies. With vivid snapshots of dawn waves and tango rhythms, she realizes that time is no faithful ally: love was brief while forgetting drags on forever.

Rather than surrender to oblivion, she promises to become everything that might cross her ex-lover’s path: a streetlamp lighting up, the taste of a salty kiss, a rumor that things will turn out fine. By pledging to inhabit countless everyday moments, she claims a strange kind of immortality and insists that destiny still binds them. The song is a poetic declaration that memories can outlive separation, turning heartbreak into an eternal, almost magical presence.
