Verse 1

You are

What I most want in this world, you are

Or: What I love the most in this world, that's what you are

My deepest thought also you are

Just tell me what to do, here you have me

Or: Just tell me what to do, I am here (for you)

You are

When I wake up, the first thing, you are

Or: When I wake up, the first thing, that's what you are

What my life lacks if you don't come

What my life is missing if you don't come

The only thing, precious, that inhabits my mind today

Chorus 1

What else can I tell you?

Maybe I can lie to you without reason

Or: Perhaps I can lie to you for no reason

But what I feel today

It's that without you I'm dead, because you are

What I most want in this world, you are

Verse 2

You are

The time that I share, you are

Or: The time that I share, that's what are you

What people promise when they love each other

My salvation, my hope, and my faith

I am

The one who wants to love you like nobody else, I am

The one who would bring you sustenance day after day, day after day

The one who would give his life for you, that's me

Or: The one who would give his life for you, that's who I am

Chorus 2

I am here by your side

And I wait here sitting until the end

Or: And I will wait here until the end

You haven't imagined

What I've waited for you, because you are

What I love in this world you are

Or: What I love in this world, that's what you are

Every minute what I think about, you are

Or: Every minute what I think about, that's what you are

What I care for most in this world, you are

Or: What I take care of the most in this world, that's what you are

Did you like this lyrics translation?

sustento — Sustenance / Support

Sustento translates to "sustenance" or "support". It's a beautiful and somewhat formal word that goes beyond just food.

In this classic love song, the singer declares he is the one who would bring his love "el sustento día a día" (sustenance day by day). He's not just talking about groceries; he's promising to be her provider, her foundation, and her daily support in every sense. It's a powerful and poetic way to express deep commitment.

Ever wanted to tell someone they're your everything? Café Tacvba's 'Eres' is basically the ultimate guide. This song is a beautiful and intense list of all the things a lover is to the singer. It's not a complicated story, just a pure declaration. The singer starts by saying, "Eres / Lo que más quiero en este mundo, eso eres" (You are / What I want most in this world, that's what you are). From there, the person becomes everything: their first thought in the morning, their deepest thought, and even their "salvación, mi esperanza y mi fe" (my salvation, my hope, and my faith).

Then the song flips the perspective. The singer defines himself completely by his devotion, saying "Soy / El que por ti daría la vida, ese soy" (I am / The one who would give his life for you, that's me). He promises to wait for them until the end. The lyrics are incredibly direct and maybe a little over the top, claiming "sin ti estoy muerto" (without you I'm dead), but that's what makes it such a powerful and classic love song.
