Soñar Lyrics in English by Carla Morrison
Ecos translates to "echoes". It's a beautiful and poetic word that you won't find in every song.
In "Soñar", Carla Morrison sings about "borrar los ecos que me dan / que dicen que no puedo" (erasing the echoes that tell me / that I can't). She uses ecos metaphorically to represent the persistent, negative voices of others who doubt her dreams. It’s a powerful image about silencing criticism to chase your ambitions.
Carla Morrison gives us a fierce, uplifting anthem about betting on yourself when nobody else will. Right from the start, she faces doubt head-on with "Aunque dicen no puedo, quiero ver / Yo quiero intentar" ("Even though they say I can't, I want to see / I want to try"). She grounds her strength in advice from home, remembering "Mi madre me dijo / No olvides jamás / Las alas, te di yo / Para que pudieras volar" ("My mother told me / Never forget / The wings, I gave them to you / So that you could fly"). Even with almost nothing in her pockets—"tengo poco para llevar" ("I have little to carry")—she wagers everything on a single chance to rise.
What makes this track hit so hard is how directly she brushes off gossip. People will nitpick everything about you, from what you wear to how you live: "Que lo que visto y cómo enfrento / Que mi bandera o mi verdad" ("What I wear and how I face things / What my flag is or my truth"). Some folks even bet on your downfall ("Que unos ya quieren apostar"), but she shrugs it off with the classic Spanish saying "lo que digan, va y viene" ("whatever they say comes and goes"). It is all about silencing those negative voices—"Borrar los ecos que me dan" ("Erase the echoes they give me")—and pushing forward until you prove you can dream on your own terms.
