Cuando Pase El Temblor Lyrics in English Soda Stereo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cuando Pase El Temblor by Soda Stereo from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
I will walk among the stones
Until I feel the trembling in my legs
Sometimes I feel fear, I know
Sometimes shame
I'm sitting in a deserted crater
I keep waiting for the trembling in my body
Nobody saw me leave, I know
Nobody is waiting for me
Bridge
There's a crack in my heart
A planet with disillusionment
With disillusionment
Verse 2
I know I'll find you in those ruins
We won't have to talk anymore
And talk, and talk about the trembling
I'll kiss you in the temple
I know, it will be a good moment
Bridge
There's a crack in my heart
A planet with disillusionment
The trembling
Wake me up when the trembling passes
Wake me up when the trembling passes
Wake me
Wake me
Wake me
Wake me
Wake me
Wake me

SONG MEANING

Cuando Pase el Temblor invites us into a dreamlike journey where an earthquake is more than shaking ground—it is the emotional jolt that forces us to face fear, shame, and loneliness. The singer imagines himself walking among stones, sitting on a deserted crater, and feeling a literal tremor in his legs while no one notices his departure. These striking images paint a landscape of inner turmoil and reveal a crack in the heart, a symbol of disappointment that feels as vast as a planet robbed of hope.

Yet beneath the rubble lies a spark of optimism. The chorus pleads, “Despiértame cuando pase el temblor,” highlighting the desire to awaken renewed once the chaos subsides. The narrator clings to the belief that in the ruins he will find someone special; words will be unnecessary because a simple kiss in the temple will seal their shared rebirth. Mixing Andean folk rhythms with new-wave rock, Soda Stereo transforms seismic destruction into a promise of catharsis and connection, reminding us that after every shake comes the chance to rebuild something stronger than before.
