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'll run to find you

I'll tell you, with my eyes, how much I miss you

I'll save in a little jar all the hugs, the kisses

For when sorrow and fear tie themselves to the soul

I'll put myself before my grandma and on my knees

I'll ask forgiveness for the times that I neglected her

We'll toast to those who left without a goodbye

Again, again

Chorus 1

But, while the birds circle the birdhouses

A radiant spring advances with stealth

I've stitched my torn little fabrics with needle and thread

I've looked at myself, valued myself, I've lived

We are caged birds

With so much desire to fly

That we forget that in this backwater

You can also see life go 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'll run to applaud you

I'll smile, I'll thank whoever takes care of me

Nobody will dare anymore to mock what's important

The quality of healthcare will be untouchable

I won't get so angry with the one who shoots hate

It's time that what's others' and what's ours matter equally

To spread my zest for life and all my joy

To build, to build

Chorus 2

But, while the sky and the earth enjoy a breather

The little animals reclaim lost corners

I've drunk alone, slowly, a glass of wine

I've flown with a book, I've lived

We are caged birds

With so much desire to fly

That we forget that in this backwater

You can also see life go 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'll 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.
