Diciembre Lyrics in English La Oreja de Van Gogh
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Diciembre by La Oreja de Van Gogh from Spanish to English.
Si una vez escribí tu nombre junto al mío en la pared
If once I wrote your name next to mine on the wall
Hoy regreso a dejar flores a la sombra de un ciprés
Today I return to leave flowers in the shadow of a cypress
Si tu voz ya no es mi maestra ni en el arte de ofender
If your voice is no longer my teacher, not even in the art of offending
Qué más da recordar quién eras o de quién yo me enamoré
What does it matter to remember who you were or who I fell in love with
Si ya no queda nada de qué hablar
If there's nothing left to talk about
Si ya no queda nada que callar
If there's nothing left to keep quiet about
¿Cómo puede ser que duela tanto?
How can it hurt so much?
Sin miedo en el infierno al recordar
Without fear in hell when remembering
Si vuelve a ser domingo al despertar
If it's Sunday again upon waking
Quédate conmigo aquí a mi lado
Stay with me here by my side
Cuando el tren de una historia muerta pasa a tiempo en el andén
When the train of a dead story passes on time at the platform
Puede ser que la hierba crezca y se entierre en nuestros pies
It could be that the grass grows and buries itself at our feet
Qué más da quién pagó la cena o si dejamos a beber
What does it matter who paid for dinner or if we left to drink
Si el silencio dibujaba con las migas del mantel
If silence drew with the crumbs from the tablecloth
Si ya no queda nada de qué hablar
If there's nothing left to talk about
Si ya no queda nada que callar
If there's nothing left to keep quiet about
¿Cómo puede ser que duela tanto?
How can it hurt so much?
Sin miedo en el infierno al recordar
Without fear in hell when remembering
Si vuelve a ser domingo al despertar
If it's Sunday again upon waking
Quédate conmigo aquí a mi lado
Stay with me here by my side
Qué más da mirarnos si siempre es diciembre
What does it matter to look at each other if it's always December
Qué más da cruzar los dedos si ya no me mientes
What does it matter to cross our fingers if you no longer lie to me
Qué más da que llueva, qué más da mojarnos
What does it matter if it rains, what does it matter if we get wet
Si bajo el paraguas no vas de mi brazo
If under the umbrella you're not on my arm
Qué más da quién eras si nadie responde
What does it matter who you were if nobody answers
Qué más da esperar despierta si al volver te escondes
What does it matter to wait awake if you hide when you return
Qué más da el silencio siempre tan sincero
What does it matter, the silence always so sincere
Siempre tan atento entre tú y yo cuando no hay remedio
Always so attentive between you and me when there's no remedy

ciprés — cypress tree
Ciprés translates to "cypress tree." While it might seem like a simple tree, the cypress holds significant cultural and symbolic weight in many Spanish-speaking countries, often associated with cemeteries and remembrance.
In the song, the lyric "Hoy regreso a dejar flores a la sombra de un ciprés" (Today I return to leave flowers in the shadow of a cypress) strongly suggests a visit to a grave. This word evokes a sense of loss, memory, and a past relationship that has ended, making it a poignant and memorable choice that hints at the song's melancholic theme.
