Mañana Lyrics in English Carlos Vives

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mañana by Carlos Vives from Spanish to English.
Intro
Drops on your skin
Streamers in the soul
Intro
When the water goes by, we're gonna run
Paper flowers
Making crumbs of the morning
Intro
Before that I leave, I'll wake you up
I'll tell you a few words in your ear
You'll give me your wings so that I can come back
Chorus 1
Tomorrow
Where life takes me tomorrow
And my head stays on your pillow
And you imagine when it will arrive
Tomorrow
When I come back and fall asleep in your bed
Because hunger meets the craving
Because I say so, because there'll be a tomorrow
Light of dawn
Bridge
Swallows in the soul
Before that I leave, I'll see you grow
I'll tell you a few words in your ear
You'll give me your wings so that I can come back
Chorus 2
Tomorrow
Where life takes me tomorrow
And my head stays on your pillow
And you imagine when it will arrive
Tomorrow
When I come back and fall asleep in your bed
Because hunger meets the craving
Because I say so, because there'll be a tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Where life takes me tomorrow
And my head stays on your pillow
And you imagine when it will arrive
Tomorrow
When I come back and fall asleep in your bed
Because hunger meets the craving
Because I say so, because there'll be a tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Outro
Tomorrow
When I come back and fall asleep in your bed
Because hunger meets the craving
Because I say so, because that's how it'll be

SONG MEANING

“Mañana” captures the magic of those precious minutes right before saying goodbye. Carlos Vives paints the scene with playful images—raindrops on skin, paper flowers, dawn light—while a lover whispers promises and borrows wings to come back. The song feels like a quick, sun-kissed snapshot: you can almost hear footsteps splashing through puddles as two hearts race against the clock.

Beyond its dreamy visuals, the track is a love-soaked pledge that distance and time are no match for genuine connection. “Mañana” (tomorrow) becomes a mantra of hope: wherever life leads, the singer’s head will “stay on your pillow,” and hunger will meet desire the instant he returns. It is a joyful Colombian reminder that departures are temporary, and every farewell carries the sparkle of an inevitable reunion.
