Verse 1

You are

What I most want in this world, you are

Or: What I love the most in this world, that's what you are

My deepest thought also you are

Just tell me what to do, here you have me

Or: Just tell me what to do, I am here (for you)

You are

When I wake up, the first thing, you are

Or: When I wake up, the first thing, that's what you are

What my life lacks if you don't come

What my life is missing if you don't come

The only thing, precious, that inhabits my mind today

Chorus 1

What else can I tell you?

Maybe I can lie to you without reason

Or: Perhaps I can lie to you for no reason

But what I feel today

It's that without you I'm dead, because you are

What I most want in this world, you are

Verse 2

You are

The time that I share, you are

Or: The time that I share, that's what are you

What people promise when they love each other

My salvation, my hope, and my faith

I am

The one who wants to love you like nobody else, I am

The one who would bring you sustenance day after day, day after day

The one who would give his life for you, that's me

Or: The one who would give his life for you, that's who I am

Chorus 2

I am here by your side

And I wait here sitting until the end

Or: And I will wait here until the end

You haven't imagined

What I've waited for you, because you are

What I love in this world you are

Or: What I love in this world, that's what you are

Every minute what I think about, you are

Or: Every minute what I think about, that's what you are

What I care for most in this world, you are

Or: What I take care of the most in this world, that's what you are

Did you like this lyrics translation?

sustento — Sustenance / Support

Sustento translates to "sustenance" or "support". It's a beautiful and somewhat formal word that goes beyond just food.

In this classic love song, the singer declares he is the one who would bring his love "el sustento día a día" (sustenance day by day). He's not just talking about groceries; he's promising to be her provider, her foundation, and her daily support in every sense. It's a powerful and poetic way to express deep commitment.

Café Tacvba's rock ballad "Eres" doesn't hold back on the romantic drama. The title itself means "You are," and the singer spends the whole track defining his entire world around one person. From the opening line, "Lo que más quiero en este mundo, eso eres" (The thing I love most in this world, that is you), he makes it clear that this person is his first thought in the morning ("Cuando despierto, lo primero, eso eres" / When I wake up, the first thing, that is you) and his single source of faith. He even goes full dramatic with "sin ti estoy muerto" (without you I am dead). It is intense, a little obsessive, and completely sweet.

Then the lyrics flip perspective from "Eres" (You are) to "Soy" (I am), turning worship into promises. He vows to be the one who brings home the daily bread—"El que te llevaría el sustento día a día" (The one who would bring you daily support)—and even claims he would die for her ("El que por ti daría la vida"). He is literally sitting and waiting beside her until the end ("espero aquí sentado hasta el final"). If you want to learn Spanish phrases for utter devotion, this track gives you the ultimate checklist.
