Formentera Lyrics English Translation by Zahara
Here I am, observing
Everything I’m going to lose,
Everything I’ve always hated,
And now I’m starting to understand.
I wonder if it will be too late for me,
And I think of my 38
As something I possess,
As if I were its owner,
As if these years were more than just time,
A road
On which we’ll fall.
See? I’m still speaking in plural,
As if I hadn’t learned anything from solitude.
See? I’m still speaking in plural,
As if I hadn’t learned anything from solitude.
And the beauty
Of those years
That have passed
And that I can’t get back,
Accompanies me
While I float
In the sea’s water.
We’ll have to go back,
We’ll have to go back,
To that island and cross the sea on foot.
We’ll have to go back,
We’ll have to go back,
It will be the summer I’ll never forget.
See? I’m still speaking in plural,
As if I hadn’t learned anything from solitude.
See? I’m still speaking in plural,
As if I hadn’t learned anything from solitude.
Always so close to you
That I can still feel your chest in my hands,
And the sound of the wind will slip through
The helmet and into my wet hair.
We’ll have to go back,
We’ll have to go back,
We’ll be millionaires every sunset.
We’ll have to go back,
We’ll have to go back,
I won’t wear underwear and I’ll burn myself.
It was simple to think that life was this,
To order the most expensive bottle, forget the rest,
Ride the island on a motorcycle, satisfy desires.
It was simple to think that life was that.
I’ll learn to sail and take you to the secret island,
There will be no waves,
You won’t get seasick,
You’ll have your dressing room on my yacht,
And when you want to dive and touch the ocean floor, I’ll wait for you above,
Watching you through the water,
And I’ll signal to you,
I hope you can see them.
