Tu Pelo Lyrics in English La Oreja de Van Gogh

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tu Pelo by La Oreja de Van Gogh from Spanish to English.
The sun hasn't come up, I look at the clock
It's seven and I can't sleep
I grab your blue sweater, I like that it smells like you
I feel that it hugs me like you do
You haven't woken up yet, I turn off the soft light
That lights up my little piece of mattress
I walk into the room, I hear your breathing
And the beats of your heart
You're waking up now, you look on my side
And you find me waiting in a corner
You can't imagine how much I love you!
Now the clocks will stop
You, drawing near to my hair
You and your gaze again
I want that time doesn't exist, to freeze this moment
One life is too little for me
I feel afraid to think that this closeness
Might end someday
Fear of not seeing your eyes undressing me again
Like they do every night
Hold me again, let's promise
Something that we'll never break
You can't imagine how much I love you!
Now the clocks will stop
You, drawing near to my hair
You and your gaze again
I want that time doesn't exist, to freeze this moment
One life is too little for me
You can't imagine how much I love you!
Now the clocks will stop!
You, drawing near to my hair
You and your gaze again
I want that time doesn't exist, to freeze this moment
One life is too little for me
I want that time doesn't exist, to freeze this moment
You, my life, you're everything to me

SONG MEANING

“Tu Pelo” invites us into an intimate dawn where love feels almost cinematic. The narrator wakes before sunrise, wraps herself in her partner’s blue sweater, and tiptoes into the bedroom to listen to his breathing. Every little detail—his scent on the fabric, the dim light on “her corner of the mattress,” the soft thump of his heart—creates a cozy snapshot of two people deeply in love. When he finally stirs, time seems to freeze. The recurring line “Tú, acercándote a mi pelo” captures that electrifying moment when someone you adore leans in, and the world melts away.

Yet beneath the sweetness lies a flutter of vulnerability. She fears that their incredible complicity might fade someday, so she clings to the present, wishing clocks would stop and promising never to break this spell. “Tu Pelo” is both a celebration of everyday tenderness and a reminder to savor it—because for those wrapped up in true love, one lifetime never quite feels long enough.
