FLOTANDO Lyrics in English by Angela Torres

Flotando means “floating,” from the verb flotar. In the song, it describes the surreal feeling that “everything is floating,” capturing a dreamlike, disorienting journey where reality seems to lose its usual weight.

Angela Torres’s “FLOTANDO” drops us into a strange, fast-moving night where attraction, confusion, art, and pills all blur together. The narrator can tell from someone’s face that they want to take her on “un trip” [a trip, meaning an altered or intense experience]. She feels emotionally unarmed, yet wonders if the experience could make her happy. The repeated question, “¿Dónde hemos llegado?” [Where have we ended up?], makes the scene feel dreamlike, especially when “todo está flotando” [everything is floating]. A friend notices that her soul seems a little broken, then offers her something pink with the blunt instruction not to ask questions, just eat it. The song’s colors and sudden confusion make the night feel playful, risky, and completely out of control.

Then everything speeds up. She says, “Vámonos que esto ya se aceleró” [Let’s go, this has already sped up], turns into a “mujer salvaje” [wild woman], wipes off her makeup, and invites someone to get a little crazy because “esto está bonito” [this is beautiful]. Beneath the party energy, there is also a tender artistic impulse: she wants to open the other person’s heart so poetry can come out, even if they are singing out of tune. By the end, she promises, “Voy a darte todo lo que soy” [I’m going to give you all that I am]. That mix of reckless escape and generous affection is what makes the song feel like floating between a wild adventure and a sincere confession.
