Rayando El Sol Lyrics in English Xavi

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Rayando El Sol by Xavi from Spanish to English.
Scraping the sun, scraping for you
This pain hurts me, it burns me without your love
You haven't called me, I'm desperate
It's many moons that I've cried for you
Scraping the sun, desperation
It's easier to reach the sun than to your heart
I'm dying for you, living without you
And I can't stand it, it hurts me so much to be like this
Scraping the sun
I went to your house and didn't find you
In the park, in the square, in the cinema I looked for you
I have you trapped between my skin and my soul
But I can't take it anymore and I want to be next to you
Scraping the sun, desperation
It's easier to reach the sun than to your heart
I'm dying for you, living without you
And I can't stand it, it hurts me so much to be like this
Scraping the sun
Scraping for you
Scraping, scraping, scraping
Scraping the sun, scraping ay ay ay ay
Scraping the sun, scraping

SONG MEANING

Rayando El Sol paints the picture of a love so distant that the singer feels he is scratching the surface of the sun just trying to reach it. Each line drips with yearning: he searches every corner of the city, counts the moons he has cried, and discovers that touching the blazing sun would be easier than winning the heart he adores. The Spanish phrase “rayando el sol” (grazing the sun) becomes a vivid metaphor for impossible distance, highlighting the burning pain of unreturned affection.

Despite its upbeat melody, the song is a heartfelt confession of desperation, persistence, and longing. Xavi turns everyday places—parks, plazas, even the cinema—into stages for his tireless quest, showing how love can occupy both skin and soul. The chorus repeats like a plea: he is “dying for her” while still “living without her,” caught between hope and heartbreak. Listeners feel both the warmth of the sun and the sting of its heat, making the track an unforgettable anthem for anyone who has ever chased unreachable love.
