Naturaleza Muerta Lyrics in English Mecano

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Naturaleza Muerta by Mecano from Spanish to English.
The sun hasn't come out
And Ana and Miguel
Already light a flame
She on top of him
Man and woman
Mess up the bed
And the sea, that is crazy about Ana
Prefers not to look
Jealousy doesn't forgive
Neither the water nor the seaweed nor the salt
At dawn
Miguel is already
On his boat
Give me a kiss, love
And wait still
Next to the beach
And the sea mutters in its language
Damn fisherman
Say goodbye to her
I don't want to share her heart
And cry, and cry
And cry for him
And wait, and wait
And wait standing
On the shore for Miguel to return
They say in the village
That that white rock is Ana
Covered with salt and coral
She waits on the beach
Don't wait any longer, stone girl
Miguel isn't going to come back
The sea keeps him prisoner
For not wanting to give it a woman
And cry, and cry
And cry for him
And wait, and wait
And wait standing
On the shore for Miguel to return
There's even people that claim
That when there's a storm
He makes the waves
Miguel fighting to the death with the sea
And cry, and cry
And cry for him
And cry, and cry
And cry for him
And cry, and cry
On the sea

SONG MEANING

A love story so intense even the ocean gets jealous – that is the heart of Naturaleza Muerta, the haunting hit by Spanish pop sensation Mecano. At sunrise, sweethearts Ana and Miguel share a fiery embrace, unaware that a third suitor is watching: the sea itself. The waves whisper with envy, vowing not to share Ana’s affection. When Miguel sails out to fish, the ocean seizes its chance, swallowing the young man in a storm of possessive fury.

Left waiting on the shore, Ana turns to stone – literally – becoming a white rock forever gazing at the horizon. Locals say tempests are Miguel’s eternal struggle to break free, while the weeping surf echoes Ana’s endless tears. The song blends romance, myth, and tragedy, reminding us that nature can love, envy, and punish with the same passion as any human heart.
