San Martin was the vocalist until Amaia Montero joined the band by request from Benegas, just after he met her at a dinner party. Much later, the band played at El Concurso de Pop/Rock de San Sebastián, at which they were discovered and later signed by Sony Music.
Their first album, Dile al Sol (Tell The Sun), debuted in 1998; it went to the top of the Spanish music charts, and won the Premio Ondas to The very best Album of the Year. After numerous tours, the group released two more albums, El Viaje de Copperpot (Copperpot's Journey) and Lo que te Conté Mientras te Hacias la Dormida (What I Told You While You Pretended To Be Asleep) as well as two DVDs: La Oreja De Van Gogh with material from their first two records, and a live performance called Lo que te Conté Mientras te Hacias la Dormida Gira 2003'.
Their songs are written (both lyrics and music) mostly by Xabi San Martín and Amaia Montero in collaboration with Pablo Benegas, and the themes are usually love, friendship, or whatever comes up in a relationship between two people.
Their fourth album, Guapa, was released April 25th 2006. At the end of 2006, the re-edition of this album, called Más Guapa was released. It was met with wide critical success.
Since their debut, they have sold more than 6 million copies worldwide of their four albums. In November 2007, lead singer Amaia Montero announced that she would be leaving the group to begin a solo career. Her replacement, Leire Martínez, was announced in July 2008, along with the band's first single El Último Vals from their album titled A las cinco en el Astoria which was released on September 2, 2008. Leire was discovered on the Spanish reality show Factor X.
Vestido azul
La Oreja de Van Gogh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Con el beso amargo de aquel licor
Hubiera bastado mi amor
Sólo una mentira se viene conmigo a pasear
Sentirme querida en aquel abrazo en el mar
Con el vestido azul que un día conociste
Me marcho sin saber si me besaste antes de irte
Te di todo el amor que pude darte y me robaste
He rasgado mi vestido con una copa de vino
Hoy tu amor corta como el cristal
En el cielo hay playas
Donde ves la vida pasar
Donde los recuerdos no hacen llorar
Vienen muy despacio y se van
Sólo una caricia, me hubiera ayudado a olvidar
Que no eran mis labios los que ahora te hacen soñar
Con el vestido azul que un día conociste
Me marcho sin saber si me besaste antes de irte
Te di mi corazón y tú lo regalaste
Te di todo el amor que pude darte y me robaste
He rasgado mi vestido con una copa de vino
Hoy tu amor corta como el cristal
Buena suerte en tu camino yo ya tengo mi destino
Con mi sangre escribo este final
The song "Vestido Azul" by La Oreja de Van Gogh is a tale of heartbreak, betrayal, and moving on. The lyrics tell the story of a woman who gave her heart and all her love to a man who ultimately broke her heart. She is reflecting on how things could have been different if he had been honest with her or given her a small bit of affection. She wonders if he even kissed her goodbye on the day he left her. She is hurt, but she is also trying to move on, even though it is difficult.
The line "Sólo una palabra se hubiera llevado el dolor/Con el beso amargo de aquel licor" translates to "Only one word would have taken away the pain/with the bitter kiss of that liquor." This suggests that if the man had just been honest with her, or even said goodbye, it would have hurt less. The bitterness of the liquor symbolizes the pain and hurt that is still with her.
Another line that stands out is "Te di todo el amor que pude darte y me robaste" which translates to "I gave you all the love I could and you stole it from me." This speaks to the betrayal she feels, as though he took all she had to offer and then left her with nothing.
The chorus, "Con el vestido azul que un día conociste/me marcho sin saber si me besaste antes de irte" translates to "With the blue dress you once knew/I leave without knowing if you kissed me before you left." This line is powerful as it shows how much she is still thinking of him, and how much she would have appreciated even a small gesture of goodbye.
Overall, the lyrics of this song are melancholic and emotional, emphasizing the pain and sorrow that comes with heartbreak. Through the song, we see the struggles of healing and moving on from a relationship that ended badly.

Sólo una palabra se hubiera llevado el dolor
Con el beso amargo de aquel licor
Hubiera bastado, mi amor
Sólo una mentira se viene conmigo a pasear
Sentirme querida, en aquel abrazo, en el mar
Con el vestido azul que un día conociste
Me marcho sin saber si me besaste antes de irte
Te di mi corazón y tú lo regalaste
Te di todo el amor que pude darte y me robaste
He rasgado mi vestido con una copa de vino (La-la-la-la)
Hoy tu amor corta como el cristal (La-la-la-la)
En el cielo hay playas donde ves la vida pasar
Donde los recuerdos no hacen llorar
Vienen muy despacio y se van
Sólo una caricia me hubiera ayudado a olvidar
Que no eran mis labios los que, ahora, te hacen soñar
Con el vestido azul que un día conociste
Me marcho sin saber si me besaste antes de irte
Te di mi corazón y tú lo regalaste
Te di todo el amor que pude darte y me robaste
He rasgado mi vestido con una copa de vino (La-la-la-la)
Hoy tu amor corta como el cristal (La-la-la-la)
Buena suerte en tu camino yo ya tengo mi destino
Con mi sangre escribo este final
