Mi Marciana Lyrics in English Alejandro Sanz

Home / Lyrics Translation / Alejandro Sanz / Mi Marciana

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mi Marciana by Alejandro Sanz from Spanish to English.

And I swear that it is seeing your face and my soul lights up

And you bring your eyelashes into the sun and the world blossoms

And you let a handkerchief fall while walking

And my hand without me picks it up

You have the freshest laugh of all the fountains

You are the chime of the nest of my sparrows

You smell like grass and you taste to me of ink and smudges

You are the May lightning bolt, my letters

Your lotions singing in the car

When we put the chairs together I feel so clumsy

And you have truths, hugs that span cities

And you have a kiss of rice and milk in the valley

And they say that you come from Mars and you go

To return, come on, that you will leave

But it is that sometimes, only sometimes

What is happening is what it looks like

Sometimes it seems that you have already gone

My woman

My brave lady does her hair

The braid like the mermaids

And she rows in the sand, if she wants

Oh, my woman

Your mint lips suit you

Better with mine if they roll

Better your smile if it bites

Oh, my woman

You remember when the dawns began

Today I feel that the dawn made us stronger

And then the quiet talk among drops

The crumbs did their part

Then the chairs come together, the voices fall asleep

And true, the tears fall but they have no name

And I believe that I take away your confusion in one dance

That is what freedom consists of

In not giving up on giving you more

I like you just the way you are

If the same happens to you and you want

We go forward and we reach the end

My woman, my brave lady does her hair

The braid like the mermaids

And she rows in the sand, if she wants

Oh, my woman

Your mint lips suit you

Better with mine if they roll

Better your smile if it bites

Oh, my woman

My woman

SONG MEANING

“Mi Marciana” is Alejandro Sanz’s poetic love letter to a woman so extraordinary that she seems to come from another planet. Through a cascade of vivid images—sun-lit eyelashes that make the world bloom, laughter as fresh as spring water, kisses that taste of rice and milk—the singer paints his beloved as a cosmic miracle dropped into everyday life. He marvels at how the smallest gestures (dropping a handkerchief, singing in the car) ignite his soul, and he proudly calls her mi hembra, mi dama valiente, mixing earthy tenderness with star-struck awe. The repeated hint that she “comes from Mars” underscores how unique and almost unreal she feels to him, while also hinting at the fear that such magic might one day fly away.

Beneath the celestial metaphors beats a very human heart: Sanz celebrates the freedom found in mutual love. He assures her that “freedom is not giving up on giving more,” and invites her to keep moving forward together until “the end.” The song bubbles with gratitude for shared dawns, quiet conversations, and even unnamed tears—every moment, sweet or bittersweet, becomes proof that their connection is worth fighting for. Ultimately, “Mi Marciana” is an ode to seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary, to choosing devotion with open eyes, and to daring to believe that love can be otherworldly yet firmly rooted in real life.
