J.C. Lyrics in English Mecano
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song J.C. by Mecano from Spanish to English.
Pasabas por allí, no sé bien
You were passing by there, I'm not sure
Que vibró dentro de mí
What vibrated inside of me
Y sin pensar me fui detrás de ti
And without thinking I went after you
La luna en tu melena me ayudó a
The moon in your hair helped me to
Seguir tus pasos por la acera
Follow your steps along the sidewalk
Pero al doblar la esquina del bazar
But upon turning the bazaar's corner
No se como te perdí
I don't know how I lost you
En plena confusión escuché
In the midst of confusion I heard
Dentro de mi corazón
Inside my heart
Como una voz marcando la señal
Like a voice giving the signal
Iba diciendo y me va diciendo
It was saying and it keeps telling me
Tu, tu y yo, tu y yo, tu y yo
You, you and I, you and I, you and I
Como un radar en el mar
Like a radar in the sea
Y el barco a puerto quiere anclar
And the boat wants to anchor at port
Aquella voz subía la intención
That voice raised the intent
O bajaba si iba mal iba un poco mejor
Or lowered if it went bad, it got a little better
En miles de movidas me metí
I got into thousands of troubles
Por seguir de tras de ti
For following after you
Pero al final encontré el lugar y en medio de la luz
But in the end I found the place and in the middle of the light
Estabas esperando
You were waiting
Tu, tu y yo, tu y yo, tu y yo
You, you and I, you and I, you and I
Colgado de los palos y amarrado
Hanging from the poles and tied up
Por los pies y por las manos
By your feet and by your hands
Me pregunté ¿quién lo pudo hacer?
I asked myself, who could've done it?
Trepé por la madera y aparté
I climbed the wood and parted
De tu cara la melena y te besé
The hair from your face and I kissed you
Tres palabras rotas escapaban de tus labios
Three broken words escaped from your lips
Tu, tu y yo, tu y yo, tu y yo
You, you and I, you and I, you and I
Tu, tu y yo, tu y yo, tu y yo
You, you and I, you and I, you and I
Tu, tu y yo, tu y yo, tu y yo
You, you and I, you and I, you and I

Did you like this lyrics translation?
melena — mane (of hair)
Melena literally translates to "mane," typically referring to the long hair of an animal like a lion. However, it's also used in Spanish to describe a person's long, flowing hair, often with a wild or untamed quality.
In this song, the narrator uses melena to describe the mysterious person's hair, first illuminated by the moon and later obscuring their face. This word evokes a vivid, almost mythical image, making it more evocative than a common word like pelo (hair).
