Born in Barcelona to a German father and a Spanish mother, he became multilingual at a young age. He moved with his parents to Japan at age 10, staying there until age 17. He took piano lessons very early in Japan. Returning to Barcelona, in 2010 he established the musical band Urban Lights alongside his brother and some friends. The band continued performing music described as a mixture of British pop, indie pop and electronic music building following locally. They won a university music contest and the band appeared in 2013 on the Spanish music casting contest ¡Tú sí que vales! reaching the Final 8. They released some materials and self-produced album. Soler also pursued studies in industrial design at Escuela de Grafismo Elisava, also going to a music school and working with a modeling agency based in Barcelona.
Soler decided to drop the Urban Lights band in 2014 to go solo establishing himself as a musical artist based in Germany. Based in Berlin, he released his single "El Mismo Sol" co-written by Soler and Ali Zuckowski and Simon Triebel (from the band Juli) and produced by Triebel. The song released on 24 April 2015 became initially a huge hit Italy reaching number one on the Italian FIMI and certified double platinum. It also made it to number one on the Swiss Swiss Hitparade singles chart. The single became a pan-European hit for him charting also in Germany, France, Belgium, Austria and the Netherlands.
Based on this success, Soler released his debut solo album Eterno Agosto released on 23 June 2015 on Universal Music.
The first taste of this upcoming re-issue is the song and proper lead single called “Sofia“. The song was written by Alvaro Tauchert Soler, Simon Triebel, Ali Zuckowski, Jakke Erixson and Nadir Khayat (RedOne), who also produced it with his team. The music video directed by Noel Dernesch was filmed in Cuba in March, and it was premiered along the single’s release on April 15th.
Cuando volveras
Alvaro Soler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me duele la distancia, solo quiero estar
Perdido en tus abrazos en cualquier lugar
¿Cuándo volverás?
La última vez que yo te vi no pude evitar
Grabar en mi corazón la imagen
Que quise guardar
Yo nunca tendría que estar
Grabar el sabor de aquel café
Después de pasear
Por las calles del pueblo perdidos en Sant Cugat
Para recordarlo siempre y así un rato
Yo contigo podría estar
Cómo te voy a decir
Me duele la distancia, solo quiero estar
Perdido en tus abrazos en cualquier lugar
¿Cuándo volverás?
Y cómo te voy a decir
Te veo en la ventana sentado en el bar
Te miro y me sonríes, vuelvo a preguntar
¿Y cuándo volverás?
Te llevo alrededor de mi muñeca junto con
Recuerdos que un día dejé atrás
Me dan la ilusión
Para yo acordarme siempre que
Hay alguien esperando con razón
Cómo te voy a decir
Me duele la distancia, solo quiero estar
Perdido en tus abrazos en cualquier lugar
¿Cuándo volverás?
Y cómo te voy a decir
Te veo en la ventana sentado en el bar
Te miro y me sonríes, vuelvo a preguntar
¿Y cuándo volverás?
Tengo esperanza que algún día me vuelvas a encontrar
Volver a llenar tus ojos de alegría junto al mar
Y tengo esperanza que si tú no me encuentras seguro lo haré yo
Sí lo haré yo
Como te voy a decir
Me duele la distancia, solo quiero estar
Perdido en tus abrazos en cualquier lugar
¿Y cuándo volverás? Dime cuándo
Como te voy a decir
Te veo en la ventana sentado en el bar
Te miro y me sonríes, vuelvo a preguntar
¿Y cuándo volverás?
¿Y cuándo volverás?
