• Maná - Amar es Combatir
• Relax

Siento que el mundo no para, me vuelvo loco
Siento que el sol no calienta nada, ni un poco

I feel that the world doesn't stop, I turn crazy
I feel that the sun doesn't warm anything, even a little

Vivo en el borde y al filo de una navaja
Pero por dios en mi tierra nadie se raja

I live on the brink and at the edge of a knife
But for (the love of) God, in my land nobody cracks

Mi corazón ya no aguanta, ya esta cansado
Una mujer y problemas me están matando

My heart can't stand it anymore, it is tired
A woman and problems are killing me

Quiero subirme al balcón de la luna llena
Quiero volar, olvidarme de tanta pena

I want to climb to the balcony of the full moon
I want to fly, forget so much grief

Si me clavo no la libro oh no no
No me voy a dar un tiro
Relax

If I nail myself I don't free her, oh no no
I'm not going to shoot myself
Relax

Me voy a estallar
Lo voy a olvidar todo esta noche
No quiero pensar, no

I'm going to shatter
I'm going to forget it all tonight
I don't want to think, no

Hoy tengo mucho trabajo, ya no lo aguanto
Siento que todo conmigo se está pasando

I have so much work today, I can't stand it anymore
I feel that everything, with me, is passing

Quiero mudarme a una casa que esté en la playa
Quiero comprar una nave de buena talla

I want to move to a house on the beach
I want to buy a ship of good quality

Salgo en las noches pensando que estoy prendido
Pero en verdad que la paso bien aburrido

I walk out at night thinking that I'm dazzling
But really I spend my time terribly bored

Busco el calor en los brazos de una gitana
Pero al final siempre llego solo a mi cama

I seek warmth in the arms of a gypsy
But in the end I always return to my bed alone

[Chorus repeating:]

Si me clavo no la libro oh no no
No me voy a dar un tiro
Relax

If I nail myself I don't free her oh no no
I'm not going to shoot myself
Relax

Me voy a estallar
Lo voy a olvidar todo esta noche
No quiero pensar, no

I'm going to shatter
I'm going to forget it all tonight
I don't want to think, no




Translation Notes:

Vivo en el borde y al filo de una navaja

I live on the brink and at the edge of a knife

Note that both "el borde" and "el filo" mean the edge. Borde is a general term used for anything from cliffs to tables to clothing, whereas filo is usually reserved for sharp edges like those of a knife.

Navaja = knife as a tool (not a kitchen knife; that's usually called un cuchillo).

***

nadie se raja
nobody cracks

rajarse means to back out of something, to escape

"no te rajes!" = "don't get cold feet!"

***

Salgo en las noches pensando que estoy prendido
I walk out at night thinking that I'm dazzling

prendido, prendida [adjective] - it means dressed up and ready for a night out; sharp, glamorous, looking handsome, etc. It couldn't find a good unisex equivalent in English.

***

Si me clavo no la libro
If I nail myself I don't free her

"Clavar" means to nail, but it also implies being clingy. Either that, or it's Catholic symbolism for the nails on Jesus Christ. I don't know. Interpret that as you will.

***

Me voy a estallar
I'm going to shatter (myself)

estallar can also mean to break, to erupt, to explode, to crack

Related phrase implied: "estallar a lagrimas" = to burst into tears


General Notes:

Oh man, this song is so catchy. Maná is brilliant when it comes to singing about desperation without being sentimental or sounding hopeless. It's sad, but it's not saddening. I like the beat.
