Si Volvieras a Mi

"Si Volvieras a Mí" (If You Returned to Me) is the fourth song on the album "Closer", released on November 11, 2003, by Josh Groban. Like some of the songs on his album, this one is sung in a foreign language, Spanish. The song is 4:19 minutes long.

It starts off with a Spanish guitar introduction and delves into a short duet with the piano. After that, Josh Groban starts to sing. The Spanish guitar and the piano continue to support him throughout the song. Another man's voice comes in and sings harmony with Groban near the middle of the piece.

This song was composed by Klaus Derendorf, Mark Portmann, and Claudia Brant along with Josh Groban, Raphael Padilla, and Ramon Stagnaro. It was conducted by Jorge Calandrelli.

Ay si volvieras a mí (If you returned to me)
Encendería el sol mil primaveras (The sun would light a thousand springs)
Si regresaras por mi (If you returned for me)
Sería un milagro cada beso que me dieras (Each kiss you give me would be a miracle)
