The song "En el Muelle de San Blas" is one of the most famous Spanish love songs for the powerful emotions it evokes in those who listen attentively. The title, translated as "On the Wharf of San Blas," is from the album " Sue ñ os liquidos " by the Mexican rock band Maná. This song is inspired by a true story, specifically the story of an old woman named Rebeca, whom the band's singer met one day and listened to as she told him of her lost love. When she was young, the woman became engaged to a man named Manuel.
Shortly before their wedding, Manuel left on a fishing trip and, as we can imagine, never returned: already dressed as a bride in her white dress, Rebeca continued to wait for his return. And she did so throughout her life, as we can deduce from the phrase " en el muelle de San Blas su cabello se blanque ó ", that is, there in that place her hair turned white, so much was the time she spent waiting for the return of her great love.
We leave you the lyrics of the song here :
She said goodbye to her love
He left on a boat at the San Blas dock.
He swore he would return
And soaked in tears, she swore she would wait
Thousands of moons passed
And she was always at the dock, waiting
Many afternoons they nested
They nestled in her hair and on her lips
Uh-uh-uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh, uh-uh
She was wearing the same dress
And just in case he came back, he wouldn't make a mistake.
The crabs were biting him
Her clothing, her sadness, and her hope
And time slipped away
And her eyes were filled with sunrises
And he fell in love with the sea
And her body took root in the pier, alone in oblivion
(Alone), alone with her spirit
(Alone), alone with her love the sea
(Alone), on the San Blas pier
Her hair turned white
But no ship returned his love to him
And in the village they called him
They called her the crazy woman of the San Blas pier
And one afternoon in April
They tried to transfer her to the mental asylum
Nobody could tear it off
And from the sea they never separated her, alone in oblivion
(Alone), alone with her spirit
(Alone), alone with her love the sea
(Alone), on the San Blas pier, alone in oblivion
(Alone), alone with her spirit
(Alone), alone with the sun and the sea
(Alone), Oh, alone!
Alone in oblivion
(Alone), alone with her spirit
(Alone), alone with her love the sea
(Alone), on the San Blas pier
He stayed
She was left all alone, all alone
He stayed
He kept the sun and the sea
It stayed there
He stayed until the end
It stayed there
He stayed at the San Blas dock
Uoh, oh-oh-oh
She was left all alone.
Uoh, oh-oh-oh
We all have a special connection to Miguel Bose, the author of the lyrics to one of Spain's most beautiful love songs: Si tú no vuelves . In fact, this artist has strong ties to our country, and as a demonstration of this, this song was launched in Italy.
The title, translated, is "If You Don't Come Back," and it speaks of a love that has ended, likely by the other person's decision, and of all that will happen if they truly never return. The seas will dry up, he says, heartbroken by the absence of his great love; nothing will remain but deserts, and all hope will die.
This is a heartbreaking and at times painful Spanish love song; a second version was made in 2009, in which Shakira accompanies Miguel's voice.
Here is the text:
If you don't come back
All the seas will dry up
And I will wait without you
Walled up at the bottom of some memory
If you don't come back
My will will become small
I'll stay here
With my dog, gazing at the horizon
If you don't come back
Nothing but deserts will remain
And I'll listen just in case.
This land still has some heartbeat left.
She was so serene when you loved me
There was a fresh perfume that I breathed in
She was so pretty, she was this big
And it had no end.
And every night a star will come to keep me company.
So I can tell you how I am and you know what's going on.
Tell me love, love, love, I'm here, can't you see?
If you don't come back there will be no life, I don't know what I'll do
If you don't come back
There will be no hope, there will be nothing.
I will walk without you
With my sadness drinking the rain
She was so serene when you loved me
There was a fresh perfume that I breathed in
She was so pretty, she was this big
And it had no end.
And every night a star will come to keep me company.
So I can tell you how I am and you know what's going on.
Tell me love, love, love, I'm here, can't you see?
If you don't come back there will be no life, I don't know what I'll do

Love songs in Spanish-and other languages as well-are often sad, perhaps because an artist feels a greater need to write when they're in pain. In this case, however, Christina Aguilera wanted to write to highlight love in a positive and optimistic way, communicating to her loved one how much their presence benefits them.
The title is Por siempre t ú , which sounds like a sweet hope, and the lyrics go like this:
When I'm about to fall
I know that your love will come to my aid again.
I will overcome fear
As long as I know how you feel
Inside, the same as me
In pain and in joy, you knew how to love me
And what I am is because of you, without a doubt.
You are my protection, my support
My best option in all respects
Forever you
My power, my courage
Through the worst
My light, my blue sky
My great love still
Forever you
There is no dawn.
Don't wake up without knowing I dreamed about you
I am so happy because of you.
In my soul forever
There's a place for you
No matter where I am, your love will find me.
Illuminating my sky, my darkness
You are my (you are my), protection (protection), my support
My best option in all respects
(Against all odds, my best option)
Forever you (oh oh, forever you)
My power (my power), my courage
Through the worst (ooh)
My great love still
Forever you, oh yeah, ohh
My guardian will be a refuge for your love
The faith that will make me believe
What is my life worth?
A home I will always return to.
I still love you...forever you, ohh ah
Only you...ohh yeah ohh
You are my protection, my support
My best option in all respects
(You're my best option, ohh ah)
Forever you (forever you)
My power (my power), my courage
Through the worst
My light, my blue sky (you are my blue sky)
My great love still
My light, my blue sky, ohh
My great love still
Forever, you
We fly to Cuba for this 1920s masterpiece: Siboney is a poignant and melancholy Spanish love song, best known for its rendition by Connie Francis.
It's a short song, repetitive in its lyrics but with a strong impact; the high notes, in addition, are able to reach straight to the heart.
The text is as follows:
Siboney, I love you, I'm dying for your love
Siboney, in your mouth the honey placed its sweetness
Come here, I love you and you are my greatest treasure.
Siboney, to the lullaby of the palm tree I think of you
Siboney of my dreams, if you do not hear the complaint of my voice
Siboney, if you don't come I will die of love
Siboney of my dreams, I eagerly await you in my hut
Siboney, if you don't come I will die of love
Hear the echo of my crystal song
Hear the echo of my crystal song
Hear the echo of my crystal song
Don't get lost in the rough thicket
They are very simple words, perhaps the only ones you might not know are "arrullo," which means whisper or murmur, and "rudo," which means rough or coarse.
A romantic and very famous bachata is "Darte un beso" (Live a Kiss ), by the young American singer-songwriter Prince Royce . With over a billion views, the official video for this Spanish love song has gone viral worldwide and has undoubtedly become the soundtrack for countless couples in love. The lyrics are very simple, describing the difficulty of loving the "right way" and the strong desire to make the one we love happy. It's not always easy to know how to make someone smile and feel loved, but just trying and being willing to do anything is a great demonstration of love.
Here is the lyrics to Darte un beso:
Loving you the way I love you is complicated
Thinking of you the way I do is a sin
Looking at you the way I'm looking at you is forbidden
Touching you the way I want is a crime, oh
I don't know what to do to make you feel better.
If turning off the sun is to light up your dawn
Speaking in Portuguese, learning to speak French
Or bring the moon down to your feet
I just want to give you a kiss
And give you my mornings
Singing to calm your fears
I want you to have everything you need.
I just want to give you a kiss
To fill your soul with my love
Take you to see heaven
I want you to have everything you need.
Tu-ru, yeah
You-ru
If the world were mine, I would give it to you.
I would even change my religion
There are so many things I would do for you.
But you don't even give me the news, uh
And I don't know what to do to make you feel better.
If turning off the sun is to light up your dawn
Speaking in Portuguese, learning to speak French
Or bring the moon down to your feet
I just want to give you a kiss
And give you my mornings
Singing to calm your fears
I want you to have everything you need.
Royce
I just want to give you a kiss
To fill your soul (your soul) with my love
I just want to give you a kiss
I want you to have everything you need (oh, no)
I just want to give you a kiss (give you a kiss)
Take you to see heaven
I just want to give you a kiss
I want you to have everything you need.
Tu-ru, I just want
You-ru, uh-huh
I just want to give you - (tu-ru)
I want you to have everything you need.
Considered by many to be the most successful singer of all time from Latin America, Luis Miguel has written numerous love songs in Spanish, one of which is Tengo todo excepto a ti .
Unlike the others, this time we're talking about a love that never took off, and unfortunately, one-sided: this reality also exists in love, and as we said at the beginning, it's often from pain that the most moving love songs are written. It's one of those songs that, when you listen to it when you're in a similar situation, it's impossible not to be moved.
Here are the lyrics to Tengo todo excepto a ti:
It's clear I'm not going to...
It's clear you're not interested.
It's clear that you only really want me.
Like any other friend
As usual
You see, I was wrong.
I thought I was happy
I thought I had it all
So many friends, whims, crazy loves
I have everything except you
And the taste of your skin
Beautiful as the April sun
How absurd the day I dreamed
That you were to me
I have everything except you
And the moisture of your body
You made me just because.
Follow the trail of your scent
Crazy for your love
It's clear I'm not going to...
It's clear you're not interested.
Well, I have everything except your gaze
And without your eyes
My eyes can no longer see anything.
I have everything except you
And the taste of your skin
Beautiful as the April sun
How absurd the day I dreamed
That you were to me
I have plenty of youth
I'm dying to live
But I miss you
I have everything except you
And the moisture of your body
You made me just because.
Follow the trail of your scent
Crazy for your love
For your love
Without your love
For your love
Oh oh
Oh oh
For your love
For your love
Among the most famous Mexican singers of recent times, Alejandro Fernández , son of one of the greatest mariachi exponents , has delighted the world with several masterpieces, mostly with love songs in Spanish, which speak of broken relationships and farewells, but also of connections so profound that they bring only joy and otherwise inexplicable emotions. One of these is La mitad que me faltaba , literally translated as "the half that was missing." What's sweeter than telling someone that without them we feel incomplete?
This song does just that, comparing your loved one to things like "the rain that bathes your soul" or "a light that fills all my mornings." Dedicating a song like this means opening your heart completely to your partner, letting them know how important they are and how much good their presence does, because they're the only person who can understand us and tell us everything without even speaking.
We leave you the lyrics of La mitad que me faltaba here:
You are like the water that drinks from the mountain
You are that rain that bathes the soul
You are a star at dawn, you are light that fills
All my mornings
You have a wordless language in your eyes.
You have sweet sugar water on your lips
You possess a beauty that no one will ever see.
You are a queen, you are a lady
You have in your arms the warmth that I
He was looking to understand me the way I needed to.
You have a tenderness I couldn't find, you are simply
The half I was missing
You leave the best in your wake.
Of all the fragrances, you enter my dreams when
You feel like it
I like your body, I like your face, and I like the rhythm
What does your skirt have?
You hold in your arms the warmth I was searching for.
You know how to understand me the way I needed to.
You have a tenderness I couldn't find, you are simply
The half I was missing
You have a tenderness I couldn't find, you are simply
The half I was missing
