El Primer Paso Lyrics in English Despistaos
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Primer Paso by Despistaos from Spanish to English.
Analizo cada pieza, cada posibilidad
I analyze every piece, every possibility
Antes de arriesgarme a dar el primer paso
Before risking taking the first step
Me refugio en la pereza, dejo un lado la ansiedad
I take refuge in laziness, I put aside anxiety
Bajo la amenaza de un nuevo fracaso
Under the threat of a new failure
Me dedico a calcular cada probabilidad
I focus on calculating every probability
De que salga todo mal
That everything goes wrong
Se hace tarde para estar dando vueltas sin parar
It's getting late to be going around without stopping
Y pensar que todo el mundo espera afuera
And to think that everyone's waiting outside
Y tú no estás
And you're not here
He orientado las antenas pero no encuentran señal
I've aimed the antennas but they don't find a signal
Tú no estás
You're not here
Cada vez está más lejos el final
The end is further away each time
Encerrado en mi cabeza, empeñado en acertar
Locked in my head, determined to get it right
Me preocupa no encontrar un buen flechazo
I'm worried about not finding a good spark
Saco fuerzas de flaqueza, más por solidaridad
I draw strength from weakness, more out of solidarity
Que por miedo a terminar hecho pedazos
Than for fear of ending up shattered
Decidido a triunfar
Determined to succeed
Me abriré paso a codazos al final
I'll elbow my way through in the end
Tú no estás
You're not here
He orientado las antenas pero no encuentran señal
I've aimed the antennas but they don't find a signal
Tú no estás
You're not here
Cada vez está más lejos el final
The end is further away each time
Analizo cada pieza, cada posibilidad
I analyze every piece, every possibility
Antes de arriesgarme a dar el primer paso
Before risking taking the first step
Tú no estás
You're not here
He orientado las antenas pero no encuentran señal
I've aimed the antennas but they don't find a signal
Tú no estás
You're not here
Cada vez está más lejos el final
The end is further away each time
Tú no estás
You're not here
He orientado las antenas pero no encuentran señal
I've aimed the antennas but they don't find a signal
Tú no estás
You're not here
Cada vez está más lejos el final
The end is further away each time

Did you like this lyrics translation?
flechazo — love at first sight / crush
Flechazo literally translates to "arrow shot" or "dart". It's a charming and evocative word that you don't hear in everyday conversation, making it quite memorable.
In the context of the song, the singer is worried about not finding a "buen flechazo" (a good arrow shot), which is a common Spanish idiom for "love at first sight" or a strong, sudden crush. It perfectly captures the romantic anxiety of the lyrics.
