Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Abrí Los Ojos by Maldita Nerea from Spanish to English.

New April debuts another disguise

There's a dead man on the couch

Friday the 13th red, odd once again

I swim between nothing and its half

I swim amid the concept of being or existing

If I am what I feel, I feel that you're not here

I feel that you're not here

And it's that no tears are worth anything anymore

Nor mysteries to keep

Only the meager certainty that nothing will be the same

And I opened my eyes to see

If you were still there but it was already late

And there's just a wall and some centuries left to wake me up

And if I think about it I already know

I don't die in the attempt, but I come out wounded

And enough to not be alive

I have the gift of timing

I have the mettle and the capacity

To miss you when you're no longer here

I lose density by the moment

I lose degrees and effectiveness

Now I get it, there's no turning back here

There's no turning back anymore

Because no tears are worth anything anymore

Nor mysteries to keep

Only the meager certainty that nothing will be the same

And I opened my eyes to see

If you were still there but it was already late

And there's just a wall and some centuries left to wake me up

And if I think about it I already know

I don't die in the attempt, but I come out wounded

And enough to open my eyes and understand

That you weren't there because it was already late

And only this wall and some centuries remain to wake me up

And if I think about it I already know

That I die trying

And that everything is deserved and it's quite serious already

I can't help it

Thinking that everything, everything is going to end

And if I look back I still find no reasons

No reasons yet

Who wants to open their eyes to see

That there's nothing left to understand

Between you and me

SONG MEANING

Abrí los Ojos is a poetic cry that mixes suspense-movie vibes with raw heartbreak. The Spanish band Maldita Nerea paints the scene like a surreal film: it is Friday the 13th, a lifeless silence sits on the sofa, and April shows up in a new costume. From the very first line we know something is off, yet intriguing. The singer swims between ser and estar, between existing and merely being present, desperately looking for someone who has already left the room — and his life.

What follows is an emotional autopsy. He opens his eyes, hoping to find his partner, but faces only a cold wall and “some centuries” of loneliness ahead. The lyrics bounce between acceptance and denial: “I do not die in the attempt, but I end up wounded.” Every chorus underlines the same revelation: there are no tears, no mysteries, just the brutal certainty that nothing will be the same. In short, the song captures that exact moment when love dies, clarity hits, and the only thing left to do is stare at the emptiness and learn to breathe again.
