Intento Lyrics in English Fondo Flamenco

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Intento by Fondo Flamenco from Spanish to English.

I can't explain what happened

I can only tell you that it didn't work

It wasn't your fault

It was both of us

For being so capricious

We held on so tight

That we got tired so quickly

And we reached a distant and dark point

And there we got lost

And still

I'm searching for the exit to this labyrinth

Somebody give me a map, because I'm lost

And I no longer know how to walk if I'm not going with you

I try

To fly, but I don't have wings

So many things were left in your bed

That I feel that even time slips away from me

They sing to me

Your words in my early mornings

And the wind brings this melody from your house

That doesn't end

Little by little, step by step

We kept drifting apart

Like water turns into ice

We froze

We weren't able to behave

Like human beings

We were wild animals

And we even killed each other

And still

I'm still lost in the desert of your cowardice

I told you that if you don't try it, you won't know

And if one day it would work

And I want

To fly, but I don't have wings

So many things were left in your bed

That I feel that even time slips away from me

They sing to me

Your words in my early mornings

The wind brings from your house

Your melody

That doesn't end

I try

To fly, but I don't have wings

So many things were left in your bed

That I feel that even time slips away from me

They sing to me

Your words in my early mornings

And the wind brings from your house

This melody

That doesn't end

SONG MEANING

“Intento” paints the bittersweet aftermath of a love that burned bright and fast. The singer looks back on a relationship where both lovers were “caprichosos,” clinging so tightly that the passion froze, cracked, and ultimately shattered. Now he wanders through metaphors of a dark labyrinth and a scorching desert, still hearing his partner’s melody carried by the wind. Every line drips with shared responsibility, regret, and a desperate wish to fly back to what was left behind on “tu cama,” even though he feels wingless.

At its heart, the song captures the universal ache of realizing too late that love needs balance. Through vivid images—water turning to ice, animals fighting, time slipping through fingers—Fondo Flamenco shows how stubbornness can suffocate romance. Yet amid the sadness, there is a spark of hope: the repeated “Intento” (“I try”) reminds us that healing begins with the courage to keep searching for the way out and the faith that, someday, we might learn to soar again.
