Cuando Canto Lyrics in English Amaia Montero
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cuando Canto by Amaia Montero from Spanish to English.
Bailar, bailar
To dance, to dance
Recorrer la mitad del espacio que hay
To travel half the space there is
Entre tu y yo
Between you and me
Sin querernos pisar nos caímos los dos
Without wanting to step on each other, we both fell
Y ahora que el tiempo
And now that time
Ya hizo el resto
Has already done the rest
Me queda el mar, el gorro azul
I have the sea left, the blue hat
La soledad si no estas tú
The loneliness if you're not here
Y la paz de pensar
And the peace of thinking
Que el silencio nunca pudo superar
That silence could never overcome
La magia que siento al cantar
The magic I feel when singing
Soñar, soñar
To dream, to dream
Que te vuelvo a encontrar quince años atrás
That I find you again fifteen years ago
Imaginar
To imagine
La canción que quedó siempre por terminar
The song that was always left unfinished
Y ahora que el tiempo
And now that time
Ya hizo el resto
Has already done the rest
Me queda el mar, el gorro azul
I have the sea left, the blue hat
La soledad si no estas tú
The loneliness if you're not here
Y la paz de pensar
And the peace of thinking
Que el silencio nunca pudo superar
That silence could never overcome
La magia que siento al cantar
The magic I feel when singing
Me queda el mar, el gorro azul
I have the sea left, the blue hat
La soledad si no estas tú
The loneliness if you're not here
Y la paz de pensar
And the peace of thinking
Que el silencio nunca pudo superar
That silence could never overcome
La magia, la magia ah ah
The magic, the magic ah ah
Si no estas tú
If you're not here
Y la paz de pensar
And the peace of thinking
Que el silencio nunca pudo superar
That silence could never overcome
La magia que siento al cantar
The magic I feel when singing
Cantar, cantar
To sing, to sing

Did you like this lyrics translation?
superar — overcome
Superar means "to overcome" or "to surpass." It's a versatile and empowering verb that goes beyond simple actions, often referring to conquering challenges or moving past difficulties.
In "Cuando Canto," Amaia Montero uses "superar" to express a profound sentiment: "Que el silencio nunca pudo superar la magia que siento al cantar" (That silence could never overcome the magic I feel when singing). This highlights the power of music and emotion over absence and quiet, making it a deeply resonant word in the song's context.
