"Eres Mi Religion" by Mana, English translation of lyrics

"Eres Mi Religion" (You Are My Religion) by Man

Album: Revolucon de Amor
Iba caminando por las calles empapadas en olvido.
Iba por los parques con fantasmas y con ngeles cados.
Iba sin luz, iba sin sol,
Iba sin un sentido, iba murindome.
Iba volando sobre el mar con las alas rotas.
I went* walking through streets soaked in oblivion
I went through parks with ghosts and fallen angels
I went without light, I went without sun,
I went without a feeling, I went dying.
I went flying over the sea on broken wings.
Ay amor, apareciste en mi vida y me curaste las heridas.
Ay amor, eres mi luna, eres mi sol, eres mi pan de cada da
Oh love, you appeared in my life and you cured my wounds
Oh love, you are my moon, you are my sun, you are my bread of every day.
Apareciste con tu luz.
No, nunca te vayas, oh, no te vayas, no
T eres la gloria de los dos hasta la muerte.
You appeared with your light
No, never leave, oh, don't leave, no
You are the glory us both until death
--------------------------------CHORUS:
En un mundo de ilusin,
Yo estaba desahuciado,
Yo estaba abandonado.
Viva sin sentido,
Pero llegaste t.
In a world of illusion
I was hopeless
I was abandoned
I lived without feelings
But (then) you came
Ay amor, t eres mi religin.
T eres luz, t eres mi sol.
Abre el corazn, abre el corazn.
Oh love, you are my religion
You are light, you are my sun
Open your heart, open your heart
--------------------------------Hace tanto tiempo, corazn,
Viva en el dolor, en el olvido.
Ay amor, eres mi bendicin, mi religin,
Eres mi sol que cura el fro.
So long ago, my heart*,

I lived in pain, in oblivion

Oh love, you are my blessing, my religion
You are my sun that cures the cold
Apareciste con tu luz,
No, no, no me abandones.
No, nunca, mi amor.
Gloria de los dos,
T eres sol, tu eres mi todo
Toda t eres bendicin.
You appeared with your light,
No, no, no, don't abandon me
No, never, my love
Glory of us both
You are sun, you are my all
You are blessing.
[CHORUS, then repeat last stanza again]
Vivir siempre a tu lado con tu luz.
Morir estando a tu lado,
Eres gloria y bendicin
I will live forever by your side with your light
I will die by your side
You are glory and blessing
Eres tu mi bendicin.
Eres t mi religin, yee.
You are my blessing*
You are my religion
Eres t mi eternidad,
Y hasta eres salvacin.
You are my eternity
And even my salvation
No tenia nada.
Y hoy te tengo con la gloria,
Con la gloria, con la gloria.
Amor (x5)
I had nothing
And today I have you with glory
With glory, with glory
My love (x5)
Eres t mi bendicin.
Eres mi luz, eres mi sol.
You are my blessing
You are my light, you are my sun.
Translation Notes:
* Iba = yo iba = I went (imperfect tense), I used to go.
* Yo estaba desahuciado = I was hopeless
desahuciar = 1) to take away all hope from someone, 2) medical term: to admit that a patient has no hope of

recovery, 3) landlord term: to dismiss the renter, to evict

* Hace tanto tiempo, corazn = It's been so much time, my heart
corazn = lit. heart (affectionate term for a person)
* Eres tu mi bendicin. = You are my blessing.
Why "eres tu" instead of "tu eres"?
It adds emphasis. The syntax sounds like this: It is you, my blessing.

Thank you
Thank you so much for all of your Mana translations :)
Mana is an amazing band, but I, unfortunately, do not speak Spanish.
These lyrics mean a lot to me, thank you for taking your time and effort!

Re: Thank you

You're very welcome! I'm glad I can help you understand Man's lyrics. Man was one of the first groups I
started translating, along with Shakira and Juanes. :-D
