El Mundo En Que Nací Lyrics in English by Café Tacvba
Redención translates to "redemption." It's a profound and evocative word that carries significant weight, often associated with salvation or being saved from error or sin.
In this song, the artist sings, "Me dejó en esta redención, es tu amor mi única y completa salvación" (It left me in this redemption, your love is my only and complete salvation). This suggests that the arrival of a loved one (likely a child) has brought a sense of purpose and salvation, transforming their world and giving them a new reason to live and overcome fear.
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.
