Below, I translated the lyrics of the song En El Muelle De San Blas by MANA from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

She said goodbye to her love

He left on a boat at the San Blas pier

Verse 1

He swore that he would return

And soaked in tears she swore that she would wait

Verse 1

Thousands of moons went by

And she was always at the pier, waiting

Verse 1

Many afternoons nested

They nested in her hair

And on her lips

She wore the same dress

And so if he came back he wouldn't get it wrong

The crabs bit

Her clothing, her sadness, and her hope

And time slipped away

And her eyes filled with dawns

And she fell in love with the sea

And her body took root at the pier

Alone in oblivion

Alone with her spirit

Alone with her love, the sea

At the San Blas pier

Her hair turned white

But no ship brought her love back

And in town they told her

They called her the madwoman of the San Blas pier

And one April afternoon

They tried to move her to the asylum

Nobody could tear her away

And from the sea they never ever separated her

Alone alone in oblivion

Alone alone with her spirit

Alone alone with her love, the sea

Alone at the San Blas pier

Alone alone in oblivion

Alone alone with her spirit

Alone alone with her love, the sea

Alone alone

Alone alone in oblivion

Alone alone with her spirit

Alone alone with her love, the sea

Alone at the San Blas pier

She stayed, she stayed

Alone, alone

She stayed, she stayed

With the sun and with the sea

She stayed there, she stayed till the end

She stayed there, she stayed at the San Blas pier

Alone alone, she stayed

SONG MEANING

Picture this: A young woman waves goodbye as her beloved sails away from the sunny pier of San Blas, Mexico. He promises to return, and she promises to wait. Maná’s powerful rock ballad follows that promise as the days stretch into years. With every rising moon she stands on the same wooden planks, wearing the same dress, hair slowly silvering in the salty breeze. Crabs nip at her hem, townspeople whisper that she is “la loca del muelle”, yet she refuses to leave. The ocean becomes her only companion, her steadfast confidant, and soon her roots seem to grow right into the pier itself.

Behind its catchy guitar riffs and soaring vocals, the song delivers a bittersweet legend about unbreakable devotion and the heavy cost of waiting too long. “En El Muelle De San Blas” paints love as both a beautiful lighthouse and a lonely prison, showing how hope can transform into obsession when time refuses to cooperate. It is a melodic reminder that

hope can outlive reason,
the passage of time can turn promises into myths, and
the sea, ever present, can be both lover and thief.

Whether you hear it as a romantic tragedy, a cautionary tale, or a tribute to unwavering faith, the song invites you to sway with the waves of Spanish lyrics and feel every heartbeat of a woman who waits forever.
