Esa mujer me esta matando
Me a espinado el corazon
Por mas que trato de olvidarla

Mi alma no da razon
Mi corazon aplastado
Herido y abandonado
A ver a ver, tu sabes dime mi amor por favor
Que dolor nos quedo

Chorus:
Ah ah ah corazon espinado
Ah ah ah como me duele el amor

Como duele como duele el corazon
Cuando nostiene entregados
Pero no olvides mujer que algun dia diras
Hay ya yay como me duele el amor

Como me duele el olvido
Como duele el corazon
Como me duele estar vivo
Sin tenerte aun lado amor

Corazon espinado

Too much Spanish on RP!!1 I've been listening since 2015 and seems there is much more Spanish than is needed.  And yes, I do change station frequentlywhen I get frustrated..



Give me more languages than the only one I can speak! I love hearing the variety of music on RP!
Surely one of the best broken heart songs EVER... Sometimes saying things in other languages has such power, as if the sounds themselves give new meaning to the same old pains... The thing is, this song, and this utterly amazing comeback album, came out and peaked -- I mean, it was on every sound-system, all over the world -- just when my Mexican ex- was doing Aztec surgery on me without anesthetic -- after making me pull up the rugs and sell off our digs in Noto, Ishikawa, where our son was born, and where I thought I'd be doing ceramics and eating buri forever... Once back in the States, she showed me the true meaning of Mi corazon aplastado...herido y abandonado... After a couple years of re-booting and re-charging here in Boulder, I lived in Setagaya-ku, Tokyo for ten years -- until the Fukushima Triple Disaster came along to shake me loose again. Alas, all things arise and pass, arise and pass... And just a couple weeks ago, Nanao, Wajima, Anamizu, Suzu -- all the lovely, picturesque time-machine places in Noto that I was blessed to know and love and work and live in for 8 years -- were crushed into rubble and dust by the unfathomable forces lurking beneath our feet. IN FLUX is the only constant state of the Universe! As Buddha said, All things arise and pass, arise and pass...there is only the arising and passing of phenomena... ROCK ON, RP!

Please translate. I'm curious now!  (I'll go look it up on google)

From Google translate (which I know has issues)

that woman is killing me
my heart has been pricked
As much as I try to forget her

my soul does not give reason
my crushed heart
wounded and abandoned
Let's see let's see, you know tell me my love please
what pain we have left

Chorus:
Ah ah ah thorny heart
Ah ah ah how love hurts

how it hurts how the heart hurts
When you have us delivered
But don't forget woman that one day you will say
There ya yay how love hurts

How oblivion hurts me
how the heart hurts
how it hurts to be alive
Without even having you by my side love

Thorned heart



Thank You for the translation!
In 1991 l met a beautiful lady in Colima, Mexico and she introduced me to Maná, a popular Mexican rock/pop band which, according to Wikipedia, is "the most successful Latin American band of all time".
The lead singer from Maná, Olvera Sierra, is the vocalist on this track.
More Mana please 
I wish I could increase my rating for the song, but the scale is only finite.
Santaana an american band?  ahhhhh yeah you mean true american,  not an U.S.A band. Couse muchos de los musicos son portoriquenos, chicanos y desde luego Carlos Santana nacido en Jalisco México. ( impossible be more sarcastic)
Mana was the soundtrack to my first visit to Mexico. I bought their CD at a market in Bara de Navidad. This combination is so smooth!

All this bollocks about the best guitarists. Where is the definition? Who agreed it. Surely it just comes to down to do you like it or not? Does it really speak to your heart? Or not? People making statements like if you don't like this or agree with me then you are a dipshit. They are the dipshits. And fascists. Just rate the music. Say if you like it. Or not. Leave it that and stop being an arsehole. Love is all you need. And a lot more of it.



I don't mean to be picky but you never said whether you like it or not and I'm having trouble knowing whether to consider you a dipshit. #fascistproblems

I was blown away by "Santana" in '69, by "Supernatural" in '99, then saw him live in 2019, 50 frickin' years later in a magnificent career.   He blew the roof off the venue.  This man is among the elite musicians of my generation and better than Clapton.  Don't like him?  You MUST be a dipshit.




I like him/his music, saw him three times "Live", but better than Clapton? No, don't agree ...

Here's a prescription for the Santana hesitant: Soul Sacrifice played at Woodstock. I was there and can tell you that we were ROCKIN'. It remains one of the memorable moments of my life. And, of all the acts at Woodstock, stands up there with Hendrix and Johnny Winter. 
and is still one of the  best guitar players...ever

Carlos Santana... holds the all-time record... is tops on the list... of overrated guitarists.  I always like his percussion section though.

Every time I hear Santana I absolutely like it! I've only one CD (yes, CD) of these guys (this one! Bought it for the Rob Thomas collaboration.) Amazing musicians. And the guitar work....outstanding.

Haretic, could he be saying "Haber" (with a silent "H"), which is the Spanish infinitive of "to make" or "to do" (it has multiple meanings and uses). Otherwise, "aber" means "but" in German. But since Santana speaks Spanish, I suspect he is saying Haber (with the silent H). Of course, he could be saying something else entirely.

You are confusing "haber", a weird helper verb meaning something like "to must be", with "hacer", which means "to make" or "to do".

But the problem is in the original lyrics, "aber" should be "a ver", a common error, as "b" and "v" are frequently confused in spoken Spanish.  "A ver" would translate as "let's see", and is frequently doubled.

The original lyrics are also missing punctuation, so it should be:

¡A ver! ¡A ver! Tú sabes, díme mi amor:
¿Cuánto amor y qué dolor nos quedó?

Which might translate as:

Let's see! Let's see! You know, tell me my love:
How much love and what pain did we have left?

I think the reason Maná get a lot of hate here is because they ended up attracting a girlie, teen crowd - and they responded by putting out the kind of corny ballads that those kids like.
 
But when this rock-loving gringo first heard Maná in the 90s (Selva Negra, pies a cabeza) he was sufficiently impressed to buy a couple of CDs - very distinctive and fresh sound, mainly due to the vocalist and drummer.
 
That kind of Maná on RP would be a treat for those who haven't been over-exposed to 'teen Maná'. (Just be thankful there's no Arjona on RP!!)

How it hurts to be alive
Without having you even love side

Carlos for King!
Regardless of the comments pro and con below,...it's Santana, a force in our music for over 40 years and STILL playing the heck out of his heart (and axe).  Rank him right up there with some of the best.   
I don't get it. Is this the same song that he recorded with rob thomas but in spanish or is this a different song that just sounds exactly the same? I know salsa rhythems can sound very similar but come on. Even the licks on this sound derivative.

Nice and relaxed
Great collaboration!  Amazing Grammy-winning album!
Cheap rock. Mana the worst band in Mexico and Santana playing the same 4 notes he always plays.

¡Estupendo! I'd never have guessed that this was Santana as it has so much zip and joie de vivre, so unlike most of the dreamy/sleepy/snoozy/dozy Santana I've heard.

If I recall correctly, Carlos wrote all the music and gave demos to his "co-stars" who then either asked a ton of "What would you like?" or just went with the flow, and jotted down what they felt went well with how the music made them feel.

nice song but jesus, is "MANA" def. a highly commercial band .. oh well
I like it because it's slow enough for a Gringo like me to understand the words
i liked this song better when he did it with rob thomas.
Please, can't he do anything else?...you could seamlessly merge nearly every song he's done and not notice.

Mmmmmmm....have to respectfully disagree. See, I saw the old Santana Blues Band back in the days when he really did only know two or three guitar licks. Watched him try to jam with Jerry Garcia, John Cippolina and Jorma Kaukonen one night and just get left in the dust. I give him all props for working harder than almost anybody else in the business to learn his craft and improve his mid-level talent to a point where he's a top quality player. Pretty spiritual guy, too.
Eric said that ''When it comes to spirituality (among guitarists) Santana is No. 1.''
Man, you have to be a sad, dried up, pitiful soul not to be able to groove down to Santana.
Suck city.

I first heard Mana while I was at a pizzaria in Buenos Aires. We struggled with broken Spanish to ask the server who we were listening to and then ran out to buy one of their CDs. Would love to hear more Mana on RP!!

I think it's a valid complaint. Musically, this is identical to Smoothe. So much so that I have to think it must be intentional.
OK, I guess I\'ve just heard too much Santana over the years. It was good to see him have a big commercial success; the strange thing is that there\'s just WAY too much guitar on this album. He starts to run out of ideas after awhile. Amazing how distortion can cover a multitude of guitaristic sins.
Sorry.. :( not the biggest Santana fan... while some of his guitar work is inspirational on its own... there have been far too many Santana songs that sound similar. The words change, the languages they are sung in vary.. but the underlaying music.. until a guitar riff comes along sound too similar some times.
