Review

Maná Rayando el Sol's meaning and lyrics explained

Rayando el Sol – (Reaching the Sun) is a popular song by the Mexican band Maná. The song was released in 1990 and the band said that Rayando el Sol saved their musical career. Before launching Rayando el Sol Maná was having bad luck with their other song, many of them didn’t have popularity and they were considering abandoning music, however, Rayando el Sol revived their career and is among the most iconic song.

Rayando el Sol's lyrics and meaning aren’t complicated at all, the song tells us a romantic ballad that does a simple comparison between the love of a girl and the sun. the song says that is easier to reach the sun than the girl’s heart. The meaning of the song is the feeling when a man tries to make a girl fall in love, how difficult can it be sometimes, the man from the lyrics falls into desperation because he can reach the sun but he can’t make the girl to notices him. He dies for her and does everything he can yet to no avail because the girl is making herself difficult so he has to try more.

Rayando el Sol is a classical Spanish rock song, it has some ballad and pop influence in the rhythm, but overall, the lyrics are easy to understand although it was necessary to understand what “Rayando el Sol” means, you find the explanation above. The singing is slow-paced and clear so you won’t have any problems following the lyrics. A fantastic song to practice Spanish and to know more about the language's iconic musical pieces.
