The 2026 World Cup is kicking off, with Mana being the first band to make the crowd move with the first song in the opening ceremony. The 2026 World Cup has officially taken center stage, with a star-studded opening ceremony currently capturing the global spotlight as a wave of local Mexican artists set the tone ahead of the highly anticipated curtain-raiser between the co-hosts and South Africa.
Igniting a raucous, sellout crowd at the iconic Estadio Azteca, legendary Mexican rock band Maná kicked off the musical festivities by performing their timeless anthem “Oye Mi Amor” (Hey My Love), fronted by the unmistakable vocals of Fher Olvera.
Originally unveiled on September 7, 1992, as the lead single from the band’s breakthrough third studio album, the track has long since cemented its status as an iconic staple of pop-rock history, dominating airwaves both across Mexico and the entire Latin American landscape.

Oye mi Amor’s lyrics in English
You don’t know how much I desire youYou don’t know how much I’ve dreamed of youIf you only knew that I am dyingFor your love, for your love and for your lipsOh-oh, eh
If you only knew that I am sincereThat I’m a straight shooter and I won’t back downIf you only knew how much I love youI could give you everything, even my eyesHey
But you already have someone elseA cold and boring guyA fool who is repressedThat doesn’t suit youIt doesn’t fit you
[Chorus]Hey, my loveDon’t tell me noAnd let’s bring our souls togetherHey, my loveDon’t tell me noAnd let’s bring our bodies togetherOh-oh
With you, I would lose myselfWith you, I would lose myselfWith you, even to the end of the worldWith you, I would lose myselfWith you, I want everything and nothing halfway, hey
But you already have someone elseA cold and boring guyA fool who is repressedThat doesn’t suit youIt doesn’t fit you
[Chorus]Hey, my loveDon’t tell me noAnd let’s bring our souls togetherHey, my loveDon’t tell me noAnd let’s bring our bodies together, hey
Hey (hey)Hey (hey)Hey (hey)Ye, ye, ye (ye, ye, ye)Oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh)Oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh)Ye, ye, ye (ye, ye, ye)Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
