Maná: “Cachito” (1992)
Despite their having won four Grammy awards, eight Latin Grammy awards and being the most successful Latin band of all time, Maná aren’t a household name to most Americans.
The affecting ballad “Cachito” (“A Bit”) is from ¿Dónde Jugarán Los Niños?, an album that sold over ten million copies worldwide and became the best-selling Spanish-language rock album of all time.
The lyrics:
Tan solo un adicto
Un adicto de tu Sol
Y es que con solo un cachito
Un pedacito de tu luz
Yo llegaría al cielo
O me caería al suelo
Por ti amor
Tan solo
Un cachito de tu corazón
Un cachito de tu corazón
Un cachito de tu corazón
Soy un adicto de tu corazón
Pedirle a mi cabeza
Que deje de pensar en tí
Es casi como pedirle
A mi corazón que deje de latir
Mas bien olvida eso
No no repitas eso, te pido amor
Tan solo
Un cachito de tu corazón
Un cachito de tu corazón
Un cachito de tu corazón
Soy un adicto de tu corazón
Chiquitita de mi corazón
Chiquitita de mi corazón
Chiquitita de mi corazón
Chiquitita de mi corazón
English translation:
Just an addict
An addict of your Sun
And the fact is that
With just a little bit
A little piece of your light
I’d get to heaven
Or I’d fall to the ground
For you love
Oh, no
Just a little piece of your heart (ay-ay-ay, eoh)
An addict of your heart (oh-oh-eoh)
A little piece of your heart (ay-ay-ay, eoh)
I’m addicted to your heart
Ask my head
Stop thinking about you (you)
It’s almost like asking
To my heart to stop beating (beating)
Rather forget that
Don’t repeat that
I ask you, love
Just a little piece of your heart (ay-ay-ay, eoh)
An addict of your heart (oh-oh-eoh)
A little piece of your heart (ay-ay-ay, eoh)
I’m addicted to your heart
Little girl in my heart
Little girl in my heart
Little girl in my heart
Little girl in my heart
Every Moment Has A Song
