Home / Lyrics translation / Juan Luis Guerra / Sabia Manera

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sabia Manera by Juan Luis Guerra from Spanish to English.

Eres el motivo de mi canción

You are the reason for my song

Eres la mañana que me arropa de sol

You are the morning that wraps me in sun

Mi ángel, mis dos alas, mi conversación

My angel, my two wings, my conversation

Eres el beso que atraca en mi puerto de amor

You are the kiss that docks in my harbor of love

Esta sinfonía de mi ilusión

This symphony of my dream

Sólo la comprendo, cuando escucho el violín de tu voz

I only understand it when I hear the violin of your voice

Junto somos uno y mucho más que dos

Together we are one and much more than two

Sabia manera de cuentas lleva el corazón

The heart has a wise way of counting

Enamorado, enamorada

In love, in love

De mi risa y de tu cara

With my laughter and your face

Enamorado, enamorada

In love, in love

Y no me cambio por nada

And I wouldn't trade myself for anything

Muérdeme la dicha de estar en ti

Let me savor the joy of being in you

Cuando tú me besas, me bautizas y empiezo a vivir

When you kiss me, you baptize me and I start to live

Mi talón de Aquiles y mi religión

My Achilles' heel and my religion

Sabia manera de cuentas lleva el corazón

The heart has a wise way of counting

Enamorado, enamorada

In love, in love

De mi risa y de tu cara

With my laughter and your face

Enamorado, enamorada

In love, in love

Y no me cambio por nada

And I wouldn't trade myself for anything

Enamorado, enamorada

In love, in love

De mi risa y de tu cara

With my laughter and your face

Enamorado, enamorada

In love, in love

Y no me cambio por nada

And I wouldn't trade myself for anything

Did you like this lyrics translation?

bautizas — you baptize

Bautizas comes from the verb bautizar, meaning "to baptize". It's a word with strong religious connotations, referring to the Christian sacrament of initiation.

In this romantic song, Juan Luis Guerra uses it metaphorically to express the profound, almost spiritual, impact his beloved has on him. He sings, "Cuando tú me besas, me bautizas y empiezo a vivir" (When you kiss me, you baptize me and I begin to live), suggesting that her kiss is a transformative, life-giving experience, akin to a spiritual rebirth. This unique and poetic usage makes it very enticing.
