Angel Lyrics in English Mecano
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Angel by Mecano from Spanish to English.
Esta mañana me asome al balcón
This morning I looked out onto the balcony
Todo el mundo miraba arriba
Everybody was looking up
Y es que detrás del sol
And it's that behind the sun
Apareció un ángel de Dios
An angel of God appeared
Y esperan todos tu bendición
And everyone waits for your blessing
Algunos dicen que es una visión
Some say it's a vision
Otros dicen que es el cometa
Others say it's the comet
Y es que detrás del sol, apareció un ángel de Dios
And it's that behind the sun, an angel of God appeared
Y esperan todos su bendición
And everyone waits for his blessing
Vengo a anunciaros una decisión
I come to announce a decision to you all
Soy el ángel que guarda la puerta del cielo
I am the angel who guards the gate of heaven
Esta mañana me ha ordenado mi Señor
This morning my Lord has commanded me
Baja la espada que guarda la puerta del reino
Lower the sword that guards the gate of the kingdom
Atentos todos al oír mi voz
Everyone pay attention upon hearing my voice
Os voy a dar las instrucciones
I'm going to give you all the instructions
Entrar de dos en dos, con una sola ocupación
Enter two by two, with a single purpose
Vengo a anunciaros una decisión
I come to announce a decision to you all
Soy el ángel que guarda la puerta del cielo
I am the angel who guards the gate of heaven
Esta mañana me ha ordenado mi Señor
This morning my Lord has commanded me
Baja la espada que guarda la puerta del reino
Lower the sword that guards the gate of the kingdom
Entonces todo el mundo se puso a correr
Then everybody started to run
Ni niños, ni viejos, ni enfermos, ni sordos
Neither children, nor old people, nor sick people, nor deaf people
Ni muertos
Nor the dead
Y en la puerta del cielo se formo un tapón
And at the gate of heaven a jam formed
Y solo pudo entrar el ruido del viento
And only the sound of the wind could enter

Did you like this lyrics translation?
tapón — traffic jam / blockage
Tapón literally means 'stopper' or 'plug', but in colloquial Spanish, it's commonly used to mean 'traffic jam' or 'bottleneck'. It's a vivid and somewhat unexpected word in the context of entering heaven.
In the song, after the angel announces that everyone can enter heaven, people rush forward, creating a "tapón" at the gate. This humorous and slightly chaotic image of a heavenly traffic jam makes the word memorable and adds a unique twist to the narrative.
