Soledad Lyrics in English La Oreja de Van Gogh

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Soledad by La Oreja de Van Gogh from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
So much time together and now you have to leave
We were so young when I met you there
I see you play and talk in silence
How I loved your little face when you yawned
Chorus 1
In our corner that armchair still remains
Where you read to me as I fell asleep
You were always beside me
In my mind stirring everything up
And waiting to see me smile
Loneliness, tell me if someday there'll be
A good friendship between you and love
Come back with me to draw the waves of the sea
Give me your hand once more
Verse 2
We escaped from everything and you invited me to think
You helped me with your games to paint reality
You were always loyal, transparent faith
Grown-ups say that I fell in love with you
Chorus 2
In our corner that armchair still remains
Where you read to me as I fell asleep
You were always beside me
In my mind stirring everything up
And waiting to see me smile
Loneliness, tell me if someday there'll be
A good friendship between you and love
Come back with me to draw the waves of the sea
Give me your hand once more
Loneliness, tell me if someday there'll be
A good friendship between you and love
Come back with me to draw the waves of the sea
Give me your hand once more

SONG MEANING

Soledad turns loneliness into an old childhood friend, almost like an imaginary playmate who was always around when no one else was. The singer looks back tenderly on shared memories—quiet games, bedtime stories on a favorite armchair, oceans sketched in the air with youthful imagination—and realizes that this ever-present companion now has to leave. Growing up means trading the comforting certainty of solitude for the unpredictable adventure of love.

Yet saying goodbye is hard. The lyrics gently question whether loneliness and love can ever get along, pleading for one last hand to hold before stepping into a new stage of life. It is a bittersweet celebration of nostalgia, highlighting how our earliest feelings of isolation can shape us, protect us, and finally set us free when we are ready to connect with others.
