"Ojala Pudiera Borrarte" - Mana Lyrics Translated By Lorna Dee Cervantes

This version is singable in English. I give it you and all Maná fans across the borders. Provecho! (And if you have corrections, please let me know. I had to change some things, slightly, to fit the verse and music. But I think it's close. And so pretty to sing!)

I'm a 2 decade Mana fan. Their songs have infiltrated my muse. Enjoy this, from "To Love Is Combat"/ Amar es Combatir - I know I loved translating it. Any corrections, just let me know. I had to change some things to fit the verse and music.

Provecho!

Hopefully I Can Erase You

(Maná; lyrics by Fher
Translated by Lorna Dee Cervantes)


Hopefully you can erase me from my dreams
And their power to redraw you.
Hopefully. And I could drown it in a pool
Of roses and full of love.
Hopefully. And I'll forget -- until your name
and drown it in the sea.
Hopefully, and your smile of summer
Is already erased from me.

(coro)
Come back, Heart.
OooOoo, come back to my side.
Come back, Heart.
(It doesn't return and it doesn't return.)

Hopefully, you've erased me,
Like always, from my life
So you don't return to see.
Hopefully. And you've erased me
from the nights in the day
So you don't return to see.
And, hopefully, you've faded from my dreaming,
life of mine,
So you don't return to see. No.
Not in dreams.

How can I erase your kisses, Life,
When they're tattooed to my skin?
I want, once and for all, to release you
And erase you from my being.
Hopefully. And the rain will drown me between her arms
So I cannot think of you
Or what passes for a miracle,
Or something happens
That brings me back to you.

Come back, Heart.
OooOoo, come back to my side.
But no, no, no, the heart doesn't return.
(It doesn't return and it doesn't return.)

Hopefully, you've erased me,
like always, from my life,
So you don't return to see.
Hopefully. And you've erased me
from the nights in the day
So you don't return to see.
And, hopefully, you've faded from my dreaming,
Life of mine,
And can no longer rain on me.
And, hopefully, her rain can drown me
between her arms
So you don't return to see.
Not in dreams.
So that you stop the rain
Of dreams.
Dreams.
Oh Oh, dreams.
