Vistas Al Mar Lyrics in English Amaia Montero
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Vistas Al Mar by Amaia Montero from Spanish to English.
Ella le dio la vuelta al cielo
She turned the sky upside down
Él acababa de llegar
He had just arrived
Fue necesario un alto al fuego
A ceasefire was necessary
Para tener vistas al mar
To have sea views
Y se pusieron a cubierto
And they took cover
Como un seguro del hogar
Like home insurance
¿Pero quién quiere hacerse el muerto
But who wants to play dead
Cuando el reverso del espejo es una playa en pleno invierno?
When the other side of the mirror is a beach in mid-winter?
¿Un adiós sin avistar?
A goodbye without warning?
La vio pasar, tentó a la suerte
He saw her pass, tempted fate
Quiso arder, gritó su nombre sin querer
He wanted to burn, he shouted her name by accident
Y fue la última vez
And it was the last time
¿Quién sabe si quien gana es quien se va
Who knows if the winner is the one who leaves
Y quien no pierde es quien sí se quiso quedar?
And the one who doesn't lose is the one who did want to stay?
Ya nunca lo sabrán
They'll never know now
Y los efectos secundarios
And the side effects
Un precipicio de papel
A paper cliff
Un baile con el adversario
A dance with the adversary
Como ser parte y no ser juez
Like being a part and not being a judge
Un 'cuídate' por duplicado
A "take care" duplicated
O La Cibeles sin Madrid
Or La Cibeles without Madrid
Choque frontal, paro cardíaco
Head-on collision, cardiac arrest
Cuando el anverso del espejo es un silencio en pleno incendio
When the front of the mirror is a silence in full blaze
Cualquier mes menos abril
Any month but April
La vio pasar, tentó a la suerte
He saw her pass, tempted fate
Quiso arder, gritó su nombre sin querer
He wanted to burn, he shouted her name by accident
Y fue la última vez
And it was the last time
¿Quién sabe si quien gana es quien se va
Who knows if the winner is the one who leaves
Y quien no pierde es quien sí se quiso quedar?
And the one who doesn't lose is the one who did want to stay?
Ya nunca lo sabrán
They'll never know now
La vio pasar, tentó a la suerte
He saw her pass, tempted fate
Quiso arder, gritó su nombre sin querer
He wanted to burn, he shouted her name by accident
Y fue la última vez
And it was the last time
¿Quién sabe si quien gana es quien se va
Who knows if the winner is the one who leaves
Y quien no pierde es quien sí se quiso quedar?
And the one who doesn't lose is the one who did want to stay?
Ya nunca lo sabrán
They'll never know now

Did you like this lyrics translation?
precipicio — cliff / precipice
Precipicio translates to "cliff" or "precipice." It's a dramatic and evocative word that immediately brings to mind a sense of danger, height, and a potential fall.
In the song, Amaia Montero uses it metaphorically in the line "Un precipicio de papel" (A paper cliff). This creates a striking image of something seemingly fragile yet still capable of leading to a dangerous drop, hinting at the precariousness of a relationship or situation.
