Song Meaning of “Mi Marciana” by Alejandro Sanz
“Mi Marciana” by Alejandro Sanz is a melancholy love song that reflects a broken hearted man’s journey of trying to get over someone who has left him. The title of the song already gives away that it’s about a “marciana,” which in Spanish translates to “alien.” In the lyrics, he reflects on the changes of himself caused by the loss of this person and dreams of how he could have been different if they had stayed together. He laments that the person is missing from his life and expresses his feelings of loneliness and longing.
The lyrics use well-known phrases, such as “more lonely” and “I don’t want to,” to emphasize the song’s theme of heartache and despair. The verses use imagery of the night sky to symbolize the vastness of what he’s lost and how he’s now living a different life than the one he hoped for. The chorus of “Mi Marciana” is a desperate plea for understanding and acceptance from the person who left him, asking them to “because, hey, I’m missing you, I’m a marciana.”
The song speaks to anyone who has ever experienced heartache and loss, and serves as a reminder that there is a way to survive even the darkest of moments.
