Como Una Mariposa Lyrics in English Pandora
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Como Una Mariposa by Pandora from Spanish to English.
Antes de huir
Before fleeing
Con mis cosas de aquí
With my things from here
Pintare en la pared Te Quiero
I'll paint "I Love You" on the wall
Solo unos jeans, unos tenis y al fin
Just some jeans, some sneakers and finally
Igual que llegue te dejo
Just as I arrived, I leave you
Creo que el amor nos abandono
I think love abandoned us
Y voy a buscarlo a cualquier precio
And I'll look for it at any price
Lejos de ti bajo el cielo de abril empezaré de nuevo
Far from you, under the April sky, I'll start anew
Quiero sentir si aun puede hervir mi sangre con otros besos
I want to feel if my blood can still boil with other kisses
Creo que es mejor armarse de valor
I think it's better to gather courage
Desplegar las velas e irme lejos
Set sail and go far away
Como una mariposa
Like a butterfly
Escapando sin mirar atrás
Escaping without looking back
Como una mariposa
Like a butterfly
Volando hacia la libertad
Flying towards freedom
Como una mariposa (2x)
Like a butterfly
Cerca del mar
Near the sea
Con arcilla y coral levantare mi casa
With clay and coral, I'll build my house
Solo unos jeans, unos tenis y al fin
Just some jeans, some sneakers and finally
Saldré sin decirte nada
I'll leave without telling you anything
Creo que es mejor armarse de valor
I think it's better to gather courage
Despegar las alas e irme lejos
Spread my wings and go far away
Como una mariposa
Like a butterfly
Escapando sin mirar atrás
Escaping without looking back
Como una mariposa
Like a butterfly
Volando hacia la libertad
Flying towards freedom
Como una mariposa (2x)
Like a butterfly
Did you like this lyrics translation?
desplegar — unfurl / spread out
Desplegar means to 'unfurl' or 'spread out', often used for things like flags or sails. It's a more evocative and less common word than simply 'abrir' (to open).
In the song, it's used in the phrase "Desplegar las velas" (unfurl the sails) and later "Despegar las alas" (take off the wings, or literally 'unstick the wings'). This imagery of unfurling sails and spreading wings perfectly captures the theme of freedom and escape, making it a powerful and memorable word in the context of the song's narrative of leaving a relationship behind.
