Mañana, Mañana
1994 single by Cristian Castro
"Mañana, Mañana" (English: "Tomorrow, Tomorrow") is a song written by Mexican singer-songwriter Juan Gabriel.

Juan Gabriel released his recording of the song, a duet with Estela Nuñez, on his album Ella (1979). The song describes the departure of a lost love who will never return.
In 1994, Mexican singer Cristian Castro covered the song on his album El Camino del Alma as "Mañana", where it was released as the lead single from the album by Fonovisa.
