Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Y, ¿Si Fuera Ella? by Alejandro Sanz from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

She slides and runs me over

And even though sometimes I don't care

I know that the day I lose her, I'll hurt again

For her, that appears and that hides

That leaves and that stays

That is question and is answer

That is my darkness, my star

She combs my soul and tangles it

Verse 1

She goes with me but I don't know where she's going

My rival, my companion

That is so deep inside my life

And at the same time is so outside

Chorus 1

I know that I'll get lost again

And I'll find her again

But with another face

And a different name and another body

But she's still her

That once again takes me

She never answers me, when the wheel turns

She turns cold and turns eternal

A sigh in the storm

Whose voice she changed so many times

People that come and that go

And it's always her

Chorus 1

That lies to me and denies it to me

That forgets me and remembers me

But, if my mouth makes a mistake

And when I call her, I name another

Sometimes she feels compassion, for this crazy man

Blind and crazy heart

Let it be, whatever God wants it to be

My crime is the clumsiness of ignoring

That there's someone who has no heart

And goes on burning me and burns me

And what if it were her?

Bridge

Sometimes she feels compassion

For this crazy, blind and crazy heart

Chorus 3

It was... who tells me if it was her?

And if life is a wheel and keeps spinning

And nobody knows when they have to jump

And I look at her, and what if it were her?

And what if it were her?

Outro

And what if it were her?

SONG MEANING

“Y, ¿Si Fuera Ella?” is Alejandro Sanz’s poetic game of hide-and-seek with an elusive love. Ella glides in, knocks him over, then vanishes before he can catch his breath. She is everything at once — a dazzling star and a patch of darkness, a rival and a confidante, a sigh in the middle of a storm. Each time the wheel of life spins, she reappears with another face and another name, yet the singer instantly knows it is still her. This constant coming-and-going keeps his heart in a thrilling, maddening loop of desire, doubt, and fascination.

Beneath the romantic roller coaster, Sanz hints at a deeper question: is Ella a single person, the very idea of love, or even life itself? By repeating the haunting refrain “¿Y si fuera ella?” he wonders if the next stranger, the next chance, the next heartbeat could finally be the one. The song captures that universal mix of hope and fear we feel when we realize the heart has a mind of its own — and that the answers we crave might always stay just out of reach.
