Yerbatero Lyrics in English Juanes

Home / Lyrics translation / Juanes / Yerbatero

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Yerbatero by Juanes from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

I bring you the remedy

For this heartache that shakes you

Verse 1

You don't deserve to suffer, if your partner left you

I have every kind of potion

Medicinal plants

Verse 1

I've brought them from very far forests all the way here

Chorus 1

I'm a herbalist, I come to heal your heartache

I'm the one that takes the pains away

And talks with the animals

Chorus 1

Tell me what you suffer from

That I have a potion for you

Chorus 1

That gives you back your tone and gets you

Good, good, good

If you, sir, are left by your woman

Rub a little carnation ointment on your soul

And for the lady whose husband has been unfaithful

Don't worry, find yourself one too

Verse 2

You suffer depression, heartache

You've spent several nights without sleeping

And your days aren't going well at work

You walk around half-dead, worried, downcast

Out of love

Verse 2

I've got the solution if your heart hurts

Chorus 2

I'm not a doctor, I'm a herbalist

I come to heal your heartache

Chorus 2

I'm the one that takes the pains away

And talks with the animals

Chorus 2

Tell me what you suffer from

That I have a potion for you

Chorus 2

That gives you back your tone and makes you feel good

Good, good, good

If you, sir, are left by your woman

Rub a little carnation ointment on your soul

And for the lady whose husband has been unfaithful

Don't worry, find yourself one too

Good, good, good

If you, sir, are left by your woman

Rub a little carnation ointment on your soul

And for the lady whose husband has been unfaithful

Don't worry, find yourself one too

Outro

I'm a herbalist

JUAN ESTEBAN ARISTIZABAL

Did you like this lyrics translation?

yerbatero — herbalist

Yerbatero translates to "herbalist" or "medicine man". It's a fascinating and somewhat old-fashioned word that evokes images of traditional healers and natural remedies.

In the song, Juanes embodies the character of a yerbatero who offers cures for the "mal de amores" (lovesickness). He's not a doctor, but a mystical figure who uses plants and ancient knowledge to mend broken hearts, making the word central to the song's unique narrative and charm.

Juanes puts on the hat of a cheerful yerbatero — a traditional herbal healer — and invites everyone nursing a broken heart to his musical apothecary. Over vibrant guitars and lively percussion, he lists a playful inventory of potions, plants and secret forest remedies that promise to wipe away sadness, sleepless nights and romantic betrayal.

The song’s message is simple and uplifting: no matter who hurt you or how heavy your heart feels, there is always a cure. Sometimes it is a literal herbal brew, other times it is a dose of self-love or the courage to move on. With catchy chants of “bien, bien, bien,” Juanes turns emotional pain into a dance-floor celebration, reminding listeners that hope, humor and a good rhythm can be the best medicine of all.
