Home / Lyrics Translation / La Oreja de Van Gogh / Deseos De Cosas Imposibles

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Deseos De Cosas Imposibles by La Oreja de Van Gogh from Spanish to English.

Just like the dumbest mosquito in the swarm

I follow your light even if it leads me to die

I follow you like final periods follow

all the suicidal phrases that seek their end

Just like the poet that decides to work in a bank

It may be possible that I, in the worst case

put a judo hold on my poor heart

making it sign this declaration in tears

I shut up because it's comfier to fool myself

I shut up because reason has beaten the heart

But whatever happens

And even if someone else walks with me

In silence I'll love only you

Just like the beggar thinks that the movies are a window display

Just like a resigned flower decorates an elegant office

I promise to call him my love, the first one that doesn't hurt me

And laughing will be a luxury I'll forget once I've forgotten you

But just like people wait as they wait in Plaza de Mayo

I try to light a candle in secret so that, just in case

a stroke of luck might one day let me see you again

reducing these words to a piece of paper

I shut up because it's comfier to fool myself

I shut up because reason has beaten the heart

But whatever happens

And even if someone else walks with me

In silence I'll love you only

I shut up because it's comfier to fool myself

I shut up because reason has beaten the heart

But whatever happens

And even if someone else walks with me

In silence I'll love you

In silence I'll think only of you

SONG MEANING

"Deseos de Cosas Imposibles" paints the bittersweet picture of someone hopelessly in love with a person who is out of reach. The narrator compares herself to a clueless mosquito drawn to a fatal light and a poet stuck in a bank, emphasizing how irrational yet unstoppable her feelings are. Every image in the lyrics shows the tug-of-war between corazón and razón: she vows to stay quiet so logic can win, yet secretly keeps a candle lit in case destiny ever brings them together.

At its core, the song speaks to anyone who has tried to smother an impossible crush with practicality—only to discover that true affection keeps glowing beneath the surface. Through playful metaphors and poignant confessions, La Oreja de Van Gogh reminds us that unspoken love can be both a burden and a comfort, a silent promise we carry even while moving on.
