Suddenly I woke up

And I found something that I want to say

With something that I want to say

Suddenly I woke up

I want that you truly know

That if one day I'm gone

That if one day I'm no longer here

That you know what my only truth has been

Nothing has ever made me so happy

As the day that you came into this world

And for the first time I saw you

Holding you between my arms and my nose

Then that day I knew that

I would first let a plane crash on me

Before anything came close

And could do any harm to you

Fear wants to paralyze me

And I find something that makes me walk

It left me in this redemption

Your love is my only and complete salvation

And here I go

Wanting to contain

That this is

The world in which I was born

And I want to thank

To my father and my mother now that I have them here

For bringing me and for taking care of me

I love them for making me what I am and what I was

And I don't know how it will be

This world that I'm going to leave you

I hope I don't get it wrong

And to be able to teach you something good

Fear wants to paralyze me

And I find something that makes me walk

And now that I didn't ask

You justify my existence when you see me

And here I go

Wanting to contain

That this is

The world in which

And here I go

Wanting to understand

That this is

The world in which I was born

Café Tacvba's "El Mundo En Que Nací" [The World In Which I Was Born] is a really touching song about a parent's profound love for their child and the reflections that come with it. The song opens with the singer waking up and realizing there's something important he needs to say. He wants his child to know his "única verdad" [only truth]: nothing has ever made him as happy as the day his child arrived in the world. He even says he'd let "un avión cayera sobre mí" [an airplane fall on me] before letting anything harm his child. That's some serious love!

It's also a song about overcoming fear. The singer admits "El miedo me quiere paralizar" [Fear wants to paralyze me], but he finds something that makes him keep going. That something is his child's love, which he calls his "única y completa salvación" [only and complete salvation]. He also takes a moment to thank his own parents for bringing him into the world and raising him, acknowledging that they made him who he is. It's a beautiful cycle of gratitude and love, as he hopes to teach his child something good and leave them a better world.
