I Wish That I Could See You Soon.

For its 2011 summer campaign, Estrella Damm decided to film on the Catalan coast using the restaurant El Bulli, by the renowned Catalan chef Ferran Adrià, as the backdrop [1]. This time the French group Herman Düne provided the music with their 2007 hit I Wish That I Could See You Soon. Of course, many here in Spain had never heard of the song until the beer company decided to use it for their commercial, when it became one of  the "songs of summer". Below the video of the commercial, you can find the lyrics and the original video.


I had to leave you and go away,
But I think about you every day,
In the morning and in the afternoon
I wish that I could see you soon.

And when I held you I felt so fine,
It was like there was nothing left on my mind,
It was like Rockaway Beach in the month of June,
I wish that I could see you soon.

I have no plans to meet you babe,
I had a million things to do babe,
But it hit my heart with a harpoon [2],
I wish that i could see you soon.

The angels go
How long till you can see her?
And I'm like - the sooner the better.
Do you really think she'll wait for you?
Well, I have no way to say and there's nothing I can do.
Well, I have no way to say and there's nothing I can do.
 Go!

(Not I see?)
Now that I'm across the sea,
I wonder if you're gonna wait for me,
Or if you're gonna find a new boy to spoon [3],
I wish that I could see you soon.

And if you wait a little, my pretty friend,
Until I come back to hold your hand,
Will be like bugs [4] when they break through [5] the cocoon [6],
You know, I wish that I could see you soon.

It has been a while since I felt like this,
And now I've found someone I really miss.
Under the sun, under the moon,
I wish that I could see you soon.

Angels!
How long till you can see her?
And I'm like - the sooner the better.
Do you really think she'll wait for you?
And I'm like -
There's no way to say and there's nothing I can do,
And there's no way to say and there's nothing I can do.
-- go!

How long till you can see her?
And I'm like, well, the sooner the better.
Do you really think she'll wait for you?
And i'm like -
There's no way to say and there's nothing I can do,
And there's no way to say and there's nothing I can do,
And there's no way to say and there's nothing I can do,
No way to say and there's nothing I can do.
