Aves Enjauladas Lyrics in English Rozalén

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.
