Muñeca De Trapo Lyrics in English La Oreja de Van Gogh

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Muñeca De Trapo by La Oreja de Van Gogh from Spanish to English.
Like those paintings that are still to be hung
Like yesterday's dinner tablecloth
Always waiting for me to tell you something else
And my heartfelt words don't want to fly
What was never said dissolves in tea
Like the cheater says, I'll never do it
I feel that I'm in a prison of love
You'll forget me if I don't sign my declaration
The devil would hug me without hesitating
To see your face when you hear me speak
You're everything that I want most
But I lose you in my silences
My eyes are two black crosses
That have never spoken clearly
My heart full of sorrow
And I'm a rag doll
Every silence is a cloud that goes
Behind me, without stopping its crying
I want to tell you what I feel for you
That you hear me speak
The January moon looking at you
The devil would hug me without hesitating
To see your face when you hear me speak
You're everything that I want most
But I lose you in my silences
My eyes are two black crosses
That have never spoken clearly
My heart full of sorrow
And I'm a rag doll
I'm not afraid of the eternal fire
Nor of its bitter tales
But silence is something cold
And my winters are very long
And when you return I'll be far away
Within the verses of some tango
Because this sincere heart
Died as a rag doll

SONG MEANING

“Muñeca De Trapo” sweeps us into a world of unspoken love, where half-hung paintings and yesterday’s tablecloth whisper about everything that’s still unsaid. The singer is bursting with emotion yet trapped in silence, comparing herself to a prisoner of love who would “hug the devil without hesitation” just to witness her crush’s reaction if she finally spoke up. Catchy guitars and energetic drums keep the song lively, while the lyrics paint a bittersweet picture of cloud-like pauses following her everywhere, begging to rain down the words she hides.

The title, rag doll, says it all. Feeling limp and voiceless, she sees her own eyes as “two black crosses” and her winters as endlessly cold because fear has stitched her mouth shut. She isn’t afraid of eternal fire or gloomy fairy tales; what terrifies her is the icy stillness of silence. If she never breaks it, she fears she will fade into the background “between the verses of some tango.” La Oreja de Van Gogh wraps this universal struggle inside a sparkling pop-rock anthem that reminds us: unspoken feelings can weigh more than flames, and finding the courage to speak may be the very thread that brings a rag doll heart back to life.
