Sometimes I rise, I do a thousand somersaults

Sometimes I lock myself behind open doors

Sometimes I tell you why there's this silence

And sometimes I'm yours and sometimes of the wind

Sometimes hanging by a thread, and sometimes one of a hundred

And there are times, my dear, I swear I think

Why is it so difficult to feel how I feel?

Feeling the way I do, it's just so difficult

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Sometimes I look at you and sometimes you let me

You lend me your wings, you check your tracks

Sometimes for everything even though you never fail me

Sometimes I'm yours and sometimes nobody's

Sometimes I swear to you, truly, that I feel

Not giving you my whole life, only giving you those moments

Why is it so difficult? Living is just that

To live, it's just that, why is it so difficult?

Uh-uh-uh

When nobody sees me I can be or not be

When nobody sees me I turn the world upside down

When nobody sees me my skin doesn't limit me

When nobody sees me I can be or not be

When nobody sees me

Sometimes I rise, I do a thousand somersaults

Sometimes I lock myself behind open doors

Sometimes I tell you why there's this silence

And sometimes I'm yours and sometimes of the wind

Of the wind

Uh-uh-uh-uh

I write to you from the centers of my own existence

Where desires are born, the infinite essence

There are things about you that I don't understand

And there are things about me, but I just don't see them

I guess I think that I don't have them

I don't understand my life, the verses ignite

In the dark I can reach for you, I'm sorry, I miss the mark

Don't turn on the lights, for my soul and body are naked

The soul and the body

When nobody sees me I can be or not be

When nobody sees me I resemble your skin

When nobody sees me I think of him too

When nobody sees me I can be or not be

When nobody sees me my skin doesn't limit me

When nobody sees me

I can be or not be

When nobody sees me my skin doesn't limit me

I can be, I can be or not be

When nobody sees me

Sometimes I rise, I do a thousand somersaults

I lock you in my eyes

Behind open doors

Sometimes I tell you why there's this silence

And sometimes I'm yours and sometimes of the wind

Sometimes of the wind

I'm yours and of the wind

Sometimes I'm yours and of the wind

The wind, the time, the wind

Sometimes of time

When nobody sees me

Nobody sees me

Nobody

volteretas — somersaults

Volteretas literally translates to "somersaults" or "flips." It's a playful and dynamic word that evokes a sense of movement and freedom.

In the song, Laura Pausini sings, "A veces me elevo, doy mil volteretas" (Sometimes I rise, I do a thousand somersaults). This imagery suggests a feeling of liberation and joy, especially in the context of the song's theme of being truly oneself "cuando nadie me ve" (when no one sees me). It's a unique and memorable way to express emotional highs.

The whole song runs on "a veces" (sometimes), and it uses the word like a shrug. "A veces me elevo, doy mil volteretas" (sometimes I rise, I do a thousand somersaults) sits one line above "A veces me encierro tras puertas abiertas" (sometimes I lock myself behind open doors), and the second image is the better one. The doors are open. She shuts herself in anyway. By the time she reaches "A veces soy tuya y a veces de nadie" (sometimes I'm yours and sometimes nobody's), you can hear the terms she is offering, and they are not generous ones.

The chorus explains why she wants them. "Cuando nadie me ve puedo ser o no ser" (when nobody sees me I can be or not be) is the version of her with no audience, and "no me limita la piel" (my skin doesn't limit me) is what that freedom costs to give up. The last verse asks for it outright: "No enciendas las luces que tengo desnudos / El alma y el cuerpo" (don't turn on the lights, my soul and my body are naked). Alejandro Sanz wrote the song and sang it about himself. Pausini keeps every image and moves one vowel, "soy tuyo" to "soy tuya", and it becomes a different confession.
