El Reloj Cucú Lyrics in English Maná , Mabel

El Reloj Cucú spins a tender story about growing up with the echo of a cuckoo clock and an empty space at the dinner table. Through the eyes of a frightened child, we hear the tick-tock that announces Papá se fue and the desperate request to prende la luz because darkness now feels bigger than ever. As the song unfolds, those childhood memories bloom into an affectionate tribute: a love song to the absent father, to the mother who carried the family on aching shoulders, and to the siblings who clung to each other while the years slipped away like sand.

Wrapped in Maná’s heartfelt vocals and Mabel’s gentle harmonies, the lyrics remind us to cherish every shared moment, to hold our loved ones close while we can, and to recognize how the people we miss still live within us. What begins as a lullaby of fear transforms into an anthem of resilience and gratitude—a moving invitation to dance, laugh, and live “gota a gota” before time’s cuckoo calls again.
