About En el Muelle de San Blas

"En el muelle de San Blas" (English: "On the pier of San Blas") is the fourth radio single and eighth track off of Maná's fifth studio album, Sueños Líquidos (1997). In the week of May 23, 1998, the song debuted and reached number eighteen on the U. S. Billboard Hot Latin Tracks. It stayed for a total of six weeks. The song was inspired by a woman in Nayarit, México, who waited for her fiancé to come back from a fishing trip; it was said he died in a storm, but his body was never found, so Rebeca Méndez Jiménez waited for him for 41 years (1971–2012). Méndez Jiménez died on 16 September, 2012. The authorities of Nayarit are considering building a statue of her at the San Blas Port.

Ella despidió a su amor
El partió en un barco
En el muelle de san blás
El juró que volvería
Y empapada en llanto ella juró que esperaría
Miles de lunas pasaron y siempre estaba en el muelle
Esperando
Muchas tardes se anidaron
Se anidaron en su pelo y en sus labios

Llevaba el mismo vestido y por si él volviera
No se fuera a equivocar los cangrejos le mordían
Su ropaje su tristeza y su ilusión

Y el tiempo escurrió y sus ojos se le llenaron
De amaneceres
Y del mar se enamoró
Y su cuerpo se enraizó
En el muelle

Sola, sola en el olvido
Sola, sola con su espíritu
Sola, con su amor el mar
Sola, en el muelle de san blás

Su cabello se blanqueó
Pero ningún barco
A su amor le devolvía
Y en el pueblo le decían
Le decían la loca
Del muelle de san blás
Una tarde de abril
La intentaron trasladar al manicomio
Nadie la pudo arrancar
Y del mar nunca jamás
La separaron

Sola, sola en el olvido
Sola, sola con su espíritu
Sola, con su amor el mar
Sola, en el muelle de san blás

Sola, sola en el olvido
Sola, sola con su espíritu
Sola, sola con el sol y el mar
Oh sola

Sola en el olvido
Sola, sola con su espíritu
Sola, con su amor el mar
Sola, en el muelle de san blás

Se quedó, se quedó sola, sola
Se quedó, se quedó
Con el sol y con el mar
Se quedó ahí se quedó hasta el fin
Se quedó ahí
Se quedó

En el muelle de san blás

Oh

Sola, sola se quedó
Oh
