La Quinta Estacion El Sol No Regresa
Trembol | How did La Quinta Estacion achieve such success in the piracy era?
La Quinta Estación was active from 2000 to 2010, the main record piracy period. In Mexico there was an average of 85% of fake discs in the market. However, Mexico and the United States are a tremendous market for live concerts. La Quinta Estacion did not stop playing in their early years.
They had a great connection with people, due to their close lyrics, composed by Natalia Jimenez, their amazing vocalist, Angel Reyero (guitar) and Pablo Dominguez (guitar and bass).
However, when they wrote ‘El Sol No Regresa’ they were not yet known, in fact, they took it as their last chance to make a living from music.
They decided to write a song that had a small tribute to the country that was welcoming them, Mexico, and a very real lyric.
It was a smash hit and propelled their career straight to the top of Latin Pop-Rock.
Natalia, La Quinta Estacion lead singer told us about her life as an artist:
.. De quinceañera, yo tocaba en el Metro, y hace poco estuve unos días en Madrid y bajé a tocar allí, para recordar. No me reconoció nadie y fue lo máximo, poder reconectar con aquella niña. Sentarme allí y recapacitar sobre todo lo que he pasado.
Soy la misma persona, pero con muchísima más suerte. Tener la carrera que he tenido es la leche, una mezcla de suerte y de esfuerzo. He sacrificado muchas cosas: mi familia, mis amigos, mi país, ¡hasta el jamón serrano y los percebes!, pero estoy superagradecida con mi vida.
.. As a fifteen-year-old, I played in the Metro, and recently I spent a few days in Madrid and went again to play there, just to remember. No one recognized me and it was the best, being able to reconnect with that girl. Sit there and reflect on everything I’ve been through.
I am the same person, but with much more luck. The career I’ve had is amazing, a mixt of luck and effort. I have sacrificed many things: my family, my friends, my country, even serrano ham and barnacles! but I am very grateful with my life.
You can’t miss ⭐️ The best parts of El Sol No Regresa
1. The mariachi trumpets at the beginning anticipate the melancholy that the song talks about.
2. “Hace días perdí en alguna cantina, la mitad de mi alma… (A few days ago, I lost in some canteen half of my soul…)”. Everyday lyric.
3. The last chorus. By the time you get there, you will be singing loudly with Natalia. Music is so beautiful!

LYRICS LA QUINTA ESTACION | EL SOL NO REGRESA | SPANISH
Hace días perdí
En alguna cantina
La mitad de mi alma
Mas el quince de propina
No es que sea el alcohol
La mejor medicina
Pero ayuda a olvidar
Cuando no ves la salida
Hoy te intento contar
Que todo va bien
Aunque no te lo creas
Aunque a estas alturas
Un último esfuerzo
No valga la penaHoy los buenos recuerdos
Se caen por las escaleras
Y tras varios tequilas
Las nubes se van
Pero el sol no regresa
Sueños de habitación
Frente a un hotel de carretera
Y unas gotas de lluvia
Que guardo en esta maleta
Ruedan por el colchón
De mi cama ya desierta
Es la mejor solución
Para el dolor de cabeza
Hoy te intento contar
Que todo va bien
Aunque no te lo creas
Aunque a estas alturas
Un último esfuerzo
No valga la penaHoy los buenos recuerdos
Se caen por las escaleras
Y tras varios tequilas
Las nubes se van
Pero el sol no regresaHoy te intento contar
Que todo va bien
Aunque no te lo creas
Aunque a estas alturas
Un último esfuerzo
No valga la penaHoy los buenos recuerdos
Se caen por las escaleras
Y tras varios tequilas
Las nubes se van
Pero el sol no regresaY tras varios tequilas
Las nubes se van
Pero el sol no regresaY tras varios tequilas
Las nubes se van
Pero el sol no regresa
LYRICS LA QUINTA ESTACION | EL SOL NO REGRESA | ENGLISH
Days ago I lost
In some canteen
Half of my soul
Plus a fifteen percent tip
It’s not like alcohol
Is the best medicine
But it helps to forget
When you don’t see the way out
Today I try to tell you
That everything is going well
Even if you don’t believe it
Although at this point
One last effort
Is not worth itGood memories today
fall down the stairs
And after several tequilas
The clouds go away
But the sun doesn’t come back
Room dreams
In front of roadside hotel
And a few drops of rain
That I keep in this suitcase
Roll on the mattress
Of my already dessert bed
It’s the best solution
For the headache
Today I try to tell you
That everything is going well
Even if you don’t believe it
Although at this point
One last effort
Is not worth itGood memories today
fall down the stairs
And after several tequilas
The clouds go away
But the sun doesn’t come backToday I try to tell you
That everything is going well
Even if you don’t believe it
Although at this point
One last effort
Is not worth itGood memories today
fall down the stairs
And after several tequilas
The clouds go away
But the sun doesn’t come backAnd after several tequilas
The clouds go away
But the sun doesn’t come backAnd after several tequilas
The clouds go away
But the sun doesn’t come back

Technical Note about La Quinta Estacion El Sol No Regresa
- The song is played in G Sharp (G#). The wonderful Intro (initial part of the song) with the mariachi trumpets, goes like this: G#, A#, D#, D#7, G#, A#, D#, G#/D#.
- If you want to play it and your are a rookie, I recommend that you use half note less: G, A, D, D7, G, A, D, G/D (G chord 2nd inversion). You’ll find the rest of the song chords in this key (G) and other in Lacuerda.net.
- Do you want to practice your musical ear? This song is perfect for it. Do like me: play the song without watching the video and write down those instruments that you identify. Then put on the video and you’ll see that when an instrument is played, a musician comes out playing it. Let’s see how many you get right
- We also share with you the complete score for all instruments, thanks to Musescore, and if you prefer a Karaoke version, we recommend this fantastic website (in Spanish): Maria Jesus website.
