Biography:
1993-2000: The group Amaral was created on January 1st 1997 with Eva Amaral, main vocalist and composer, and Juan Aguirre, guitarist and composer, as members. The name of the group is Eva's surname, and it was chosen by Juan.
Their story started at the beginning of the 90's, when Eva and Juan met at a recording studio in the city of Zaragoza. At the time, Eva was playing with a group called Bandera Blanca (White Flag) and Juan, with his group Días de vino y rosas (Days of Wine and Roses) collaborated with Eva's on one song. A close relationship was immediately born between them. In 1997 they moved from Zaragoza to Madrid and signed with EMI/Virgin. On May 5th 1998, they released their eponymous first album, Amaral, produced by Pancho Varona. They sold around 70,000 copies, in a country with 40 million inhabitants.
2000-2002
In the year 2000, after a tour to present their first album, Amaral went to London to record their second album, called Una pequeña parte del mundo (A Little Part of the World), produced by Cameron Jenkins. It was a more mature record which contained 13 songs. Twelve of them were composed by the group and the thirteenth one was a version of a song by the Spanish singer Cecilia.
2002-2004
Two years later, Amaral entered the studio again with the same producer and recorded their third album, called Estrella de mar (Starfish). It was named Best National Album in 2002. They won several awards that year, including an MTV Europe Award to best Spanish artist, and five Spanish music awards. They also went international with this version, when their album was released under a new version in America in 2003. They sold 900,000 copies.
In 2004, they were supposed to record an album and play with Bob Dylan when he visited Spain, but Juan suffered a wrist injury, so they had to delay the recording and Eva sang alone with Dylan. Finally in November of that year, Eva and Juan recorded their fourth album Pájaros en la cabeza (“Birds in the Head”, a Spanish expression meaning “dreamer”), again with Cameron Perkins. On March 14th 2004 they released it. It contained 14 songs, in a pop and rock style. They toured all over Spain until October, and later left to play in Mexico and Argentina. At the same time they recorded a concert for a DVD called El comienzo del Big Bang (The Beginning of the Big Bang). It was the best selling album in Spain in 2005, and sold about 600,000 copies worldwide.
In May 2008, they released their fifth studio album named Gato negro.Dragón rojo ("Black cat, red dragon"). This is the first album in which Juan sings, in the track Es sólo una canción.
Eva has also sung with Moby.
In 2019 they released an album "Salto Al Color." This was followed by the European tour "Giro Salto Al Color," which completed successfully in spite of many Covid-related postponements.

Amaral Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
por todos mis errores
por mis mil contradicciones
por las puertas que crucé
Discúlpame
por quererte igual que antes
por no poder callarme
ni siquiera hoy lo haré
Hay demasiados
corazones sin consuelo
es demasiado frío este momento
cuando siento que te pierdo
Entiéndeme
por todas mis locuras
fueron la mitad mas una
de las que te he visto hacer
Discúlpame
si te duele lo que veo
demasiados buitres negros
tu eres demasiado bueno para ellos
tu eres demasiado bueno para ellos
Hay demasiados
corazones sin consuelo
es demasiado frío este momento
cuando siento que te pierdo
Hay demasiados
corazones sin consuelo
es demasiado frío este momento
Hay demasiados
corazones sin consuelo
es demasiado frío este momento
cuando siento que te pierdo
The song "Perdóname" by Amaral is about the singer apologizing for their mistakes and contradictions in the past, including crossing certain boundaries. The song is essentially a plea for forgiveness from the person they love. The lyrics express regret for not being able to stay quiet and pretending nothing ever happened, but they continue to struggle with their inner turmoil. The singer also acknowledges their partner's own imperfections but asks for their understanding and forgiveness.
The chorus of the song highlights the feeling of loss and heartbreak that can be felt in relationships when someone feels they are losing the person they love. There are too many hearts without comfort, and the moment is too cold when they feel like they are losing their partner. The singer wants the other person to understand their actions and decisions and to forgive them for their mistakes.
The song is an emotionally charged ballad that is sung with earnestness and vulnerability. It showcases the universal theme of making mistakes in relationships and seeking forgiveness from a partner. The regretful and apologetic lyrics are complemented by the somber and melancholic melody, making it a deeply moving song.

Esta canción es una maravilla, tanto la letra como la voz de Eva y la guitarra de Juan. Y, como siempre, la deslumbrante belleza de esta gran mujer.❤❤❤

Tantas veces había escuchado esta maravilla y tantas veces crucé ese puente cuando vivía en Zaragoza, y por primera vez me doy cuenta que se rodó allí. Conexión total.

De Zaragoza solo puede ser algo tan bueno como Amaral, Héroes del Silencio, Los Niños del Brasil y un largo etc de talentos en todo tipo de rama.

Amaral, la cantante que no ha sido debidamente explotada con mente y corazón y si hubiera sido así, las mentes y corazones de las dos terceras partes de nuestra gran humanidad, seríamos los rockeros más sensibles en sentimientos humanos
