Mana & Shakira: Mi Verdad = My Truth

I just had to translate this song. It's one of those lyrics where I can relate to all of it. I'm sure we all could. Mana is just a band I grew up listening to and always vibe to. The lead singer Fher Olvera is just so amazing, his voice has always hit a special chord within me. Adding Shakira to this song was completely amazing for me because I love her voice, specially when she sings in Spanish. This translation is dedicated to my son Ethan. He is truly the light of my world and my guiding star. Mommy loves you.

There are lies in lips

There are lies in the skin, so painful

There are lies, there are lovers

That by instant pleasures

Put there lives to tremble

There are compassionate lies

There are merciful lies 

That don't want to hurt

There are lies that truly hurt us

Ay, ay, ay

There is deceit that for years

Hid the truth

Causing a lot of damage

Ay, I'm going to take refuge

In the land of your love (my truth)

You are my love, my joy

The truth in my life

 The baby that jumps into my arms quickly

You are my refuge and my truth

Oye, you are my love, my joy

The truth in my life

The baby that settles this soul with laughter

You are my refuge and my truth

There are lies in stares

There are lies drawn in the skin

There are lies, there are lovers

That by instant pleasures

Put there lives to tremble

There are doctrines and orators

Dictators with no mercy

That govern without truth

There are lies in the news, in the web

and in the bar, ay, ay, ay

There is deceit that for years

Hid the truth

Hurting out of pain

Ay, I'm going to take refuge

In the oasis of your love

You are my love, my joy

The truth in my life
The baby that jumps into my arms quickly

You are my refuge and my truth

Oye, you are my love, my joy

The truth in my life

The baby that settles this soul with laughter

You are my refuge and my truth

In a world so unreal

I don't know what to believe

And my love,

 I know you are my truth, you are my truth

You are the light that guides me

You are the voice that calms me

You are the rain of my soul

You are my whole truth

You are the light in my life

You are the voice that calms me

You are the rain of my soul

You are my whole truth

You are my whole truth
