Barrer A Casa Lyrics in English Sofia Ellar , Alvaro Soler

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Barrer A Casa by Sofia Ellar from Spanish to English.
I'll be able to look at you through that glass
Greet each other in another way
Without fear of breathing
I'll be able to hug you with the urge to forget
That a door separates us
From the urge to dream
To wake up, this night that is real
That the magic of flying has been taken from us by freedom
And to think that this dream isn't real
That this dream isn't real
And now Madrid dresses as a ghost
At eight the networks go down, the terraces fill up
And now I learned why we have to sweep at home
Because the best song doesn't understand walls
It doesn't understand walls
I'll be able to lean out at that bar's corner
Another round for the usual ones that don't let me pay
From pint to tapa, napkin in another bar
And let the crown tremble seeing us savor
Wake up, that night was real
That the urge to fly was taken from us by freedom
And to think that that dream was real
That that dream was real
And now Madrid dresses as a ghost
At eight the networks go down, the terraces fill up
And now I learned why we have to sweep at home
Because the best song doesn't understand walls
And now Madrid gets thrilled in another square
At eight the sun comes out, the terraces fill up
And now I learned why we have to sweep at home
Because the best song doesn't understand walls
It doesn't understand walls
It doesn't understand battles
It doesn't understand battles

SONG MEANING

Imagine Madrid during lockdown: friends wave from behind windows, hugs are postponed, and even the sky seems to hold its breath. Sofia Ellar and Álvaro Soler paint that picture in Barrer A Casa, turning everyday scenes into a musical diary. The verses recall glasses clinking in neighborhood bars, tapas shared on crowded terraces, and the thrill of freedom we once took for granted. When those joys disappear, the city dresses up like a ghost, reminding us how quickly liberty can vanish.

Yet the chorus sweeps away the gloom—literally. Barrer a casa (sweeping the house) becomes a metaphor for tidying up our priorities: caring for our own, building community, and letting music flow beyond any wall. At 8 p.m. applause echoes, terraces refill, and the “best song” refuses to understand borders, wars, or fear. In just a few minutes, the track invites us to cherish small moments, believe in togetherness, and remember that even in silence, hope is still singing.
