El 7 De Septiembre Lyrics in English Mecano

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El 7 De Septiembre by Mecano from Spanish to English.
It seems unbelievable
that after so much time our ties are broken
we keep maintaining
the thrill on our anniversary
the same little table that has watched us tie
our hands underneath
makes sure that the usual corner
stays reserved
and even though the story ended
there's something alive in this love
that even though we're bent on blowing
there are flames that not even with the sea
the May flowers little by little will give in
to crow's-feet
and we'll look for each other with our eyes
in case something's left
the seventh of September
is our anniversary
and we don't know whether to kiss on the cheek or on the lips
and even though the story ended
there's something alive in this love
that even though we're bent on blowing
there are flames that not even with the sea
the seventh of September
is our anniversary
is our anniversary

SONG MEANING

El 7 de Septiembre is a nostalgic toast to a love that has officially ended yet stubbornly refuses to die. Every year, on that exact date, the former couple meets at the same little table, hands brushing like they used to beneath the surface, keeping their private tradition alive. The song paints their anniversary as a bittersweet ritual: flowers wilt, laughter lines appear, but the spark they share keeps glowing even when both try to blow it out.

Instead of mourning what's lost, Mecano celebrates the fragile magic that survives past the breakup. The lyrics swing between tender memories and awkward present-day questions—Do we kiss on the cheek or on the lips?—showing how love can linger in the spaces between habit and hope. Ultimately, it is a reminder that some flames are so deep-rooted that not even an ocean can extinguish them.
