Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Volver by Ricardo Montaner from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Yo adivino el parpadeo
I guess the flicker
De las luces que a lo lejos
Of the lights that in the distance
Van marcando mi retorno
They are marking my return
Son las mismas que alumbraron
They are the same ones that illuminated
Con sus pálidos reflejos
With its pale reflections
Hondas horas de dolor
long hours of pain
Y aunque no quise el regreso
And although I did not want to return
Siempre se vuelve al primer amor
He always turns to first love
La quieta calle donde el eco dijo
The quiet street where the echo said
'Tuya es su vida, tuyo es su querer'
'Yours is his life, yours is his love'
Bajo el burlón mirar de las estrellas
Under the mocking gaze of the stars
Que con indiferencia
that with indifference
Hoy me ven volver
Today they see me return
Con la frente marchita
With the withered forehead
Las nieves del tiempo
The snows of time
Platearon mi sien
They silvered my temple
Que es un soplo la vida
What a breath of life
Que veinte años no es nada
That twenty years is nothing
Que febril la mirada
How feverish the look
Errante en las sombras
Wandering in the shadows
Te busca y te nombra
She looks for you and names you
Con el alma aferrada
With the soul clinging
A un dulce recuerdo
To a sweet memory
Que lloro otra vez
I cry again
Tengo miedo del encuentro
I'm afraid of the meeting
Con el pasado que vuelve
With the past that returns
A enfrentarse con mi vida
To face my life
Tengo miedo de las noches
I'm afraid of the nights
Que pobladas de recuerdos
How full of memories
Encadenen mi soñar
Chain my dream
Pero el viajero que huye
But the fleeing traveler
Tarde o temprano detiene su andar
Sooner or later he stops walking
Y aunque el olvido
And although oblivion
Que todo destruye
that everything destroys
Haya matado mi vieja ilusión
I have killed my old illusion
Guardo escondida una esperanza humilde
I keep hidden a humble hope
Que es toda la fortuna de mi corazón
Which is all the fortune of my heart
Con la frente marchita
With the withered forehead
Las nieves del tiempo
The snows of time
Platearon mi sien
They silvered my temple
Que es un soplo la vida
What a breath of life
Que veinte años no es nada

Que febril la mirada

Errante en las sombras
Wandering in the shadows
Te busca y te nombra

Con el alma aferrada

A un dulce recuerdo
To a sweet memory
Que hoy lloro otra vez
That today I cry again
Con el alma aferrada
With the soul clinging
A un dulce recuerdo
To a sweet memory
Que lloro otra vez
I cry again
