Medicine For My Soul Lyrics in English Juan Luis Guerra

Home / Lyrics translation / Juan Luis Guerra / Medicine For My Soul

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Medicine For My Soul by Juan Luis Guerra from Spanish to English.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I was listening to a radio station last night

A shrink, dr. Luis, was giving counsel on the line

I dialed three o'five, five ninety-four, eleven eighty-five

Hey doc, I'm calling about a latin girl I met on a web site

She tastes to me like a honeycomb

Y tiene la llave de mi corazón

And she has the key to my heart

Woru-re, wuro-roro, ou-wo

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I'm from Louisiana, she's from San Pedro de Macorís

You know the land of baseball players

Where Sammy Sosa lives

She likes to drink papaya juice and paint caribbean trees

Oh, we don't have too much in common

But love is blind as you can see

She tastes to me like a honeycomb

Sweet to my heart, medicine for my soul

Girl I want to feel your heart

And hope you love me too

You know I can't stop loving you, babe

I said mambo

Love me, yeah

Establish your emotions

Make a point, you're on the air

Should I go and visit her

Should I learn spanish words

Should I learn Spanish words

Should I cry, should I face

Some political concerns

Should I join a social club

Should I peel a coconut

Movin' in, movin' on

Merengue bachata y son, now

Merengue bachata and son, now

She tastes to me like a honeycomb

Y tiene la llave de mi corazón

And she has the key to my heart

Dance!

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Dance!

Should I get down on my knees

Should I dance a latin beat

Should I laugh should I get

A romantic membership

Should I play my conga drums

Should I sing 'La Vie En Rose'

Should I sing 'Life In Pink'

Moving in, moving on

Merengue, bachata y son, now

Merengue, bachata and son, now

She tastes to me like a honeycomb

Y tiene la llave de mi corazón

And she has the key to my heart

Girl I want to feel your heart

And hope you love me too

You know I can't stop loving you, babe

She tastes to me like a honeycomb

Y tiene la llave de mi corazón

And she has the key to my heart

You're so sweet, to me, babe

You're so sweet

You're so sweet, to me, baby

You're so sweet, to me, babe

You're so sweet

Yeah yeah yeah

And tastes to me like a honeycomb

Y tiene la llave de mi corazón

And she has the key to my heart

Sweet to my heart

Eh, baby, now

Sweet to my heart

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Sweet to my heart

Yeah, baby

She tastes to me like a honeycomb

Tú tienes la llave de mi corazón

You have the key to my heart

Did you like this lyrics translation?

corazón — heart

Corazón means "heart" in Spanish. While it's a common word, its significance in this song is particularly enticing because it's at the core of the protagonist's dilemma.

The lyrics state, "Tú tienes la llave de mi corazón" (You have the key to my heart), which is a classic romantic phrase. This line perfectly encapsulates the central theme of the song: a man from Louisiana falling deeply in love with a woman from San Pedro de Macorís, despite their differences, and seeking advice on how to win her over. It's a universally understood symbol of love and vulnerability.
