El desierto
Maná Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ya me voy, muy lejos del pueblo
Empacando maletas, guardando recuerdos de amor
Ya me voy, rumbo al Norte
Dejo novia, mis calles, mi gente, mi México

Ay, ay, ay, ay
Algún día yo volveré
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Te prometo mi amor

No lloraré, mientras camino
El desierto y la luna, se vienen conmigo
No, yo no sé dónde va el tren
Te lo juro mi amor, por ti volveré

No sé si comeré, ni dónde dormiré
Pero con tu recuerdo del frío me cubriré
Créeme amor, se necesita valor
Y no creo que el desierto y la luna me den tu amor

Ay, ay, ay, ay
Algún día yo volveré
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Te prometo mi amor

No lloraré, mientras camino
El desierto y la luna, se vienen conmigo
No, no, no sé dónde va el tren
Te lo juro mi amor, por ti volveré

No lloraré, mientras camino
El desierto y la luna, se vienen conmigo
No, yo, no sé dónde va el tren
Te lo juro mi amor, por ti volveré

Por ti volveré
Por ti volveré
Por ti volveré
Por ti volveré
Por ti volveré

Overall Meaning

The song "El desierto" by Maná talks about leaving behind a place and a loved one to go to the unknown, but promising to return one day. The song's theme is that of longing and hope. The first verse describes the singer packing his bags and saying goodbye to loved ones, including his girlfriend, his hometown and his fellow Mexicans. He is leaving for the North, but promises to return one day. The chorus, "Ay, ay, ay, ay, algún día yo volveré" (Oh, oh, oh, I will return someday), is both a promise and a plea for his loved ones to wait for him.


The second verse talks about his journey through the desert, and how he will not cry while walking because the desert and the moon are with him. He does not know where the train is going but promises to return to his beloved. The line "Créeme amor, se necesita valor" (Believe me love, it takes courage) is a reminder that it takes courage to leave behind what we know and venture into the unknown. The last section of the song repeats the chorus, emphasizing the singer's promise to return.
