Identify these Spanish pop songs

Help me identify these Spanish pop songs. One; Two; Three; Four. Failing that, if any Spanish speakers could transcribe a few lines of lyrics for me, that would be helpful.

Best answer: i googled the spanish lyrics.

one: El Sueño De Morfeo - "Nunca Volverá" (translation: "Will Never Return"...I think.)

third: Julieta Venegas "Me Voy" (here's the link to the music video [youtube])

still working on 2 & 4 since it's not as clear what the lyrics are. (my spanish isn't half as good as it should be..)

No. 1

Palabras sin razón, rompió su corazón, lamentando pensar que nunca volverá, que nunca ha estado aquí, que todas las promesas que hizo no eran de verdad.

Best answer: 2 is Revolución from the album Pájaros en la Cabeza by Amaral

second: Amaral - "Revolucion"
there's a translation here (ctrl+f "callaron" to find the post) but I can't vouch for its accuracy

Best answer: I think 4 is again by Amaral on the same album as above. Song: Resurrección.

Yeah. That's it. Resurrección by Amaral.

micayetoca: "Palabras sin razón, rompió su corazón, lamentando pensar que nunca volverá, que nunca ha estado aquí, que todas las promesas que hizo no eran de verdad."

"Unreasonable words broke (his/her) heart, sorrowing to thing that (he/she) will never return, that never has been here, that all the promises that (she/he) made weren't true."

And the use of the future indicates that it's Castellano (from Spain, that is).

But I don't know if this helps.

Complete lyrics to #1 here (under 16.10.06) but there's no info there that I can find on the blogger or the song there. The song is called "Nunca Volverá" ("never will return").

Wait, found it. Here.

(OT but curious: does castellano normally use the future tense?)

Yes, sometimes. The thing is: no one else really does, except for a few places in sudamerica, I think.

That is, everybody else uses the "ir a" construction (as in "I'm going to").

Response by poster: That's them all right! Thanks a lot everyone!
