La Quinta Estacion FIRST ALBUM | Primera Toma (First Take)
| The album was released only in Mexico in 2001.
| Watchful of Natalia’s voice, the difference with the song “El Sol No Regresa(The Sun Doesn’t Come Back)”, is unbelievable. In this album it’s youthful, sweet, and high-pitched.
| They began to have some repercussion when the song “¿Donde Iran? (Where will they go?)”, was chosen for an extremely popular Mexican soap opera at the time, called, Calle 406 (406 Street).
| We’ve selected the song ‘Coma (Comma)‘. For us, the record’s best tune. Links to buy the song below:
La Quinta Estacion SECOND ALBUM | Flores de Alquiler (Rental Flowers)
| The album was released in Mexico and United States in 2004 (not in Spain yet).
| If i hadn’t told you that it is the same singer, would you have known? The 3 years that took them to get the record ready and Natalia’s voice, are the reason for their success. The singer’s voice says goodbye to the youthful treble and starts maturing while her beautiful Mexican accent brews.
| The record includes some of their best tunes like La Quinta Estacion, Algo Mas. Same as the video we brought for you, ‘Daria (I Would Give)’ (if you like it, you’ve got the links to buy it below). Yet, the song that we’ve selected as our Trembol is El Sol No Regresa (The Sun Doesn’t Come Back).

The Beginning of a unique voice | La Quinta Estacion El Sol No Regresa
Trembol | How did La Quinta Estacion achieve international success in the piracy era?
The group lasted from 2000 to 2010 (we tell you about the end in the 2nd part), the main 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).
Natalia, La Quinta Estacion lead singer told us about her life as an artist:
.. 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 part 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
How does Trembol write the lyrics, translation and meaning or story behind?
Translations in Trembol are handmade with a lot of care and love, because we want to explain you the real meaning of the song and the story behind it, with the author words and in different languages. For this reason, we do not use automatic translators, which translate word by word, without understanding the background of the lyrics. In Trembol we believe in emotions and spreading music, that is why we also translate manually all lyrics to English, like this tune from La Quinta Estacion El Sol No Regresa. Click on the box of the language you want to see, and it will open. If your screen is large enough (typically a PC) you will be able to view the two lyrics in parallel, the original and the Spanish translation at the same time. Cool, isn’t it!

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.
