Alpha’s Formentera Spanish Lyrics English Meaning
The vocalists describe a desire so strong, it keeps them awake. ‘The memory of you being ‘undressed’ keeps me from falling asleep,’ they sing. The lyrics mention a direct flight to Formentera, a place where they can be alone, free from the world’s interruptions.
