Eres Para Mí Lyrics in English by Julieta Venegas, Anita Tijoux

Revienta is the Spanish word for 'bursts' or 'explodes'. It's a dramatic and forceful word that you don't often hear in a love song.

Julieta Venegas uses it to create a vivid metaphor: "El corazón es un músculo, si no late revienta" (The heart is a muscle, if it doesn't beat, it bursts). This intense imagery suggests that love is a feeling so powerful it can't be contained, making it a very memorable and exciting word to learn.

Have you ever felt so sure about someone that it feels like the universe is sending you signs? That's the heart of this song by Mexican artist Julieta Venegas. The singer is absolutely convinced she's found her person, repeating over and over, "Eres para mí / Me lo ha dicho el viento" (You are for me / The wind has told me so). It's not just the wind, either. She sees confirmation everywhere: in "La sombra que pasa la luz que me abraza" (The shadow that passes, the light that embraces me) and "La calle que canta" (The singing street). It's a beautiful, almost magical certainty.

But there's a problem: the other person is scared. The singer knows it, admitting, "Y yo sé / Que tienes miedo y no es un buen momento para ti" (And I know / That you're scared and it's not a good time for you). Rapper Anita Tijoux jumps in with a fantastic verse that calls this fear out. She warns that holding back is dangerous, saying, "El corazón es un músculo si no late revienta" (The heart is a muscle, if it doesn't beat, it bursts). She's tired of waiting and playing games, telling him they're acting like they're old. Despite the hesitation, the singer's belief never wavers. The song insists that some connections are just meant to be, whether it's the right time or not.
