Lyrics

Español

Niña de mi corazón brindarte quiero un cantar que sea el reflejo fiel de cariño sin par, niña de mi ilusión. A tu reja llegué una estrella guiñó y aquel día forjé mi primera ilusión. Serenata que allí para ti improvisó mi amor, tu promesa de amor, tu mirada, un clavel, dieron premio a mi canción. Hoy que ya el tiempo pasó, vine a tu reja a cantar, silencio fue el responder a este triste dolor que tu ausencia dejó.

English · machine translation

Child of my heart I want to offer you a song that is a faithful reflection of unparalleled affection, child of my illusion. I came to your grille a star winked and that day I forged my first illusion. Serenade that there my love improvised for you, your promise of love, your gaze, a carnation, gave a prize to my song. Today that time has passed, I came to your grille to sing, silence was the answer to this sad pain that your absence left.
