Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Aves Enjauladas by Rozalén from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

When I get out of this, I will run to find you

I will tell you, with my eyes, how much I miss you

I will keep in a little jar all the hugs, the kisses

For when the sorrow and fear tie up in the soul

I will kneel before my grandmother

I will ask for forgiveness for the times I neglected her

We will toast for those who left without goodbye

Once again, once again

Chorus 1

But, while the birds circle the nesting houses

A radiant spring advances quietly

I have patched my little broken fabrics with needle and thread

I have looked at myself, valued myself, I have lived

We are caged birds

With so much desire to fly

That we forget that in this calm

Life also passes by

When the cages burn

And the curtain rises again

Always remember the lesson

And this will be a better world

Verse 2

When I get out of this, I will run to applaud you

I will smile, I will thank whoever takes care of me

No one will dare to mock what is important

The quality of healthcare will be untouchable

I will not get so angry with those who shoot hate

It’s time for what is foreign and what is own to matter equally

To spread my desire to live and all my joy

To build, to build

Chorus 2

But, while the sky and the earth enjoy a breath

The little animals reconquer lost corners

I have drunk alone, slowly, a glass of wine

I have flown with a book, I have lived

We are caged birds

With so much desire to fly

That we forget that in this calm

Life also passes by

When the cages burn

And the curtain rises again

Always remember the lesson

And this will be a better world

Outro

When I get out of this, I will run to hug you

SONG MEANING

Rozalén’s “Aves Enjauladas” was born in the heart of Spain’s 2020 lockdown, and it feels like a warm letter slipped under the door of anyone who ever felt trapped by those four walls. In vivid, cinematic lyrics, she imagines herself racing out of confinement to hug loved ones, apologizing to her grandmother for past neglect and saving every future kiss in a little jar. At the same time, she watches nature reclaim quiet streets, stitches up her own emotional rips with needle and thread, and realizes that even in stillness life keeps flowing.

The central image is simple yet powerful: “We are caged birds with such a hunger to fly.” Rozalén uses that metaphor to remind us that lockdown forced the world to pause, reconsider priorities, and treasure what truly matters. She dreams aloud of fairer healthcare, less hatred, and a shared joy that spreads faster than fear. By the time the curtains rise and the cages burn away, the song invites us to carry those lessons forward so that the post-pandemic world can soar higher than ever before.
