Caribbean Blues Lyrics in English Juan Luis Guerra
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Caribbean Blues by Juan Luis Guerra from Spanish to English.
Many cages many rules
Many cages many rules
Many battles in my blues
Many battles in my blues
Many days without a clue
Many days without a clue
But, you came and turned me loose
But, you came and turned me loose
Calling when things don't go my way
Calling when things don't go my way
You have the word that hits my brain
You have the word that hits my brain
Heal me with your touch, anoint me
Heal me with your touch, anoint me
Because your love is all I need
Because your love is all I need
It's all about you
It's all about you
You're the one who lives inside my mind
You're the one who lives inside my mind
A message falling from the sky
A message falling from the sky
And a revelation of the moon
And a revelation of the moon
It's all about you
It's all about you
You are the one who stays and never goes
You are the one who stays and never goes
A solitary spotlight in my show
A solitary spotlight in my show
You are the one who plays the violin in my (you are the one who plays the Caribbean blues)
You are the one who plays the violin in my (you are the one who plays the Caribbean blues)
Caribbean blues
Caribbean blues
(Uh-uh)I've got the habit of your smile (uh-uh)
(Uh-uh)I've got the habit of your smile (uh-uh)
My dwelling place around your heart (uh-uh)
My dwelling place around your heart (uh-uh)
Heal me with your touch, anoint me (uh-uh)
Heal me with your touch, anoint me (uh-uh)
Because your love is all I need
Because your love is all I need
It's all about you
It's all about you
You're the one who lives inside my mind
You're the one who lives inside my mind
A message falling from the sky
A message falling from the sky
Another revelation of the moon
Another revelation of the moon
It's all about you
It's all about you
You are the one who stays and never goes
You are the one who stays and never goes
A solitary spotlight in my show
A solitary spotlight in my show
You are the one who plays the violin in my (you are the one who plays the Caribbean blues)
You are the one who plays the violin in my (you are the one who plays the Caribbean blues)
Caribbean blues
Caribbean blues
Por la marea
By the tide
Las olas llegan
The waves arrive
Por la marea
By the tide
Searching in the evening
Searching in the evening
Stars above the ocean
Stars above the ocean
Falling constellations
Falling constellations
You are the only light I know
You are the only light I know
Water takes a river
Water takes a river
Far beyond the mountains
Far beyond the mountains
In every road I take now
In every road I take now
You're the only way that I know
You're the only way that I know
It's all about you
It's all about you
You're the one who lives inside my mind
You're the one who lives inside my mind
A message falling from the sky
A message falling from the sky
And a revelation of the moon
And a revelation of the moon
It's all about you
It's all about you
You are the one who stays and never goes
You are the one who stays and never goes
A solitary spotlight in my show
A solitary spotlight in my show
You are the one who plays the violin in my (you are the one who plays the Caribbean blues)
You are the one who plays the violin in my (you are the one who plays the Caribbean blues)
Caribbean blues
Caribbean blues
Caribbean blues

anoint — ungir
Anoint (ungir in Spanish) means to ceremonially apply oil to someone, often as a sign of consecration or healing. It's a word with deep spiritual and historical connotations, making it quite unique in a pop song.
In "Caribbean Blues," the lyric "Heal me with your touch, anoint me" uses this word to express a profound desire for spiritual and emotional healing from a loved one. It elevates the romantic sentiment to something sacred and powerful, making it very memorable.
