Solamente Lyrics English Translation by Manu Chao
Only once
Only once
My struggle is to return and start again
To be reborn every day
Only once
And let myself go till the break of dawn
Christmas is gone now
The flowers are gone, and winter too
And I’m left with loneliness
In this city that feels like hell
When will it come back,
The springtime?
When will it come back,
Oh great love?
I’m like the night, and you’re like the day
I am darkness, and you are poetry
I’m like the night, and you’re like the day
I am darkness, and you are poetry
My struggle is to return and dream again
To fall back every day
Only once
And crash once more before the sunrise
Only once
When, when, when
Will you come back to paint my gray days?
Only once
When, when, when
Will you come back to paint my gray days?
When will it come back,
The springtime?
When will it come back,
Oh great love?
My struggle is to return and start again
To be reborn every day
Only once
And let myself go till I fade away
The sky is cloudy, the neighborhood painted
The moon lights me up, everything’s faded
I miss the past, the future I’ve planned
Death never sleeps, that’s well understood
When will it come back,
The springtime?
When will it come back,
Oh great love?
Only once
When, when, when
Will you come back to paint my gray days?
Only once
When, when, when
Will you come back to paint my gray days?
Only once
Only once
For all the neighborhoods around the world
Manu Chao with Santa Fe
Only once
We are the Santa, bro
Tell me, Camilo
Only once
Mexico, Manu Chao
Only once
