Faro Lyrics in English Silvina Moreno

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Faro by Silvina Moreno from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
You’re always there, still lighthouse
You caused a thousand shipwrecks, including me
You’re always there, blue lighthouse
I’m not good at drowning the memory of that light
It’s your eyes, they ruin me
Motionless lighthouses, I look at the sky and they’re still there
And they took by force
That fort that I took so long to build
Chorus 1
It couldn’t be, cruel lighthouse
It couldn’t be, it couldn’t be
Verse 2
I hope that the day comes that I stop looking for you
To find my home
Instead of waiting in someone else’s darkness
That leaves me in solitude
Chorus 2
It couldn’t be, cruel lighthouse
It couldn’t be, it couldn’t be
Chorus 2
It couldn’t be, cruel lighthouse
It couldn’t be, it couldn’t be
It couldn’t be, still lighthouse
Don’t forget, you left me at the mercy of the open sea
Chorus 2
It couldn’t be, cruel lighthouse
It couldn’t be, it couldn’t be
It couldn’t be, cruel lighthouse
It couldn’t be, it couldn’t be
It couldn’t be
It couldn’t be, it couldn’t be

SONG MEANING

Imagine being out at sea while a lone lighthouse blinks on the horizon. Its beam is supposed to guide you, yet every time you steer toward it, you end up wrecked on the rocks. That’s the bittersweet picture Silvina Moreno paints in “Faro.” The “quiet lighthouse” stands for an ex-lover whose hypnotic glow once felt like safety but proved dangerously irresistible. His blue light and penetrating eyes dominate her sky, dismantling the emotional fortress she had painstakingly built.

Through the chant-like refrain “No pudo ser” (“It couldn’t be”), the singer drifts between heartbreak and self-preservation. She yearns for the day she stops searching that distant beacon so she can finally anchor in her own harbor instead of waiting in someone else’s darkness. “Faro” is ultimately a call to let go of destructive attraction, reclaim one’s course, and sail into a future where the only guiding light is self-love.
