• By: Juan y Junior

Lyrics & Translation

Explore the melancholic beauty of "Anduriña" by Juan y Junior. This iconic 1968 Spanish pop song, set in the evocative landscape of Galicia, tells a poignant story of a young woman's departure, using the imagery of a swallow to symbolize her freedom and mystery. With its rich narrative and unique connection to the art world through a Picasso-designed cover, "Anduriña" offers a glimpse into the emotional depth and artistic collaborations of Spanish music in the late 1960s.

[English]

In Galicia one day I heard

...

An old story told in a café

...

About a girl who ran away from her town

Young Anduriña who took flight

...

They cry, wondering where she might be

...

No one wants to go look for her now

...

They called her Anduriña, those she left behind

Please, fly quickly to the port

...

Grandpa is by the fireplace

(Grandpa's by the fire)

He talks and smiles wickedly

(He laughs again with wickedness)

Anduriña is young

She'll come back, you'll see

She's a little bird without feathers

...

On a gray day, she'll perch somewhere

...

Her mystery will no longer remain

...

They'll never call her Anduriña by name again

But meanwhile, where is she now?

Where is she?, Andrudiña, where is she?

Andrudiña, where is she?

Andrudiña, where...

...

[Spanish]

En Galicia un día yo escuché

Una vieja historia en un café

Era de una niña que del pueblo se escapó

Anduriña joven que voló

Lloran al pensar dónde estará

Más nadie la quiere ir a buscar

Anduriña la llamaron los que allí dejo

Volar pronto a puerto, por favor

El abuelo está junto al hogar

(El abuelo está junto al hogar)

Habla y le sonríe con maldad

(Vuelve y sonríe con maldad)

Anduriña es joven

Volverá, ya lo verás

Es un pajarillo sin plumas

En un día gris se posará

Su misterio ya no lo será

El nombre anduriña ya jamás se lo dirán

Pero mientras tanto, ¿dónde está?

¿Dónde está?, andrudiña, ¿dónde está?

Andrudiña, ¿dónde está?

Andrudiña, ¿dónde...
