Te Juro Que Volveré Lyrics in English Mon Laferte

Mon Laferte transforms a simple promise – “Te juro que volveré” (I swear I’ll come back) – into a cinematic tale of courage and heartbreak. The song follows a 17-year-old girl who has already survived drugs, rain-soaked streets and a “hard past.” At 24 she packs a suitcase, crosses a border and vows to buy her mother a house. Every chorus is her hopeful postcard home: “Volveré” – I will return.

Eight years of undocumented grind later, music finally pays her first big check. She wins at life, yet destiny plays a cruel twist: her mother passes away before seeing the dream come true. The final refrains slip from certainty to doubt – “No sé si volveré” (I don’t know if I will return) – capturing the bittersweet reality of many migrants who chase success abroad. Mon Laferte’s story is a vibrant lesson on perseverance, sacrifice and the emotional cost of leaving home to build a better future.
