Lyrics

Español

La noche, amada mía, es azul, Salgamos por el parque a pasear, Ponte el traje blanco de tul A tono con el claro lunar. El barrio se ha dormido y los dos Mirando a las estrellas temblar, Caminaremos juntos, Mi amor, para soñar. Juntos hasta el parque iremos Y nos sentaremos y allí nos diremos Nuestros dulces cuentos, Nuestros juramentos, Bajo el firmamento Tibio de fulgor. Y al mirar correr, los dos Una estrellita por el cielo azul, Le pediremos que nos traiga suerte Y que nos amemos Siempre, hasta muerte. Bajo las pupilas De un millón de estrellas, Que su luz destellan Nos sinceraremos, Nos abrazaremos Con un mismo amor. Y en la noche parroquial Bajo esta hermosa corte celestial, Nos besaremos religiosamente En la dulce paz.

English · machine translation

The night, my beloved, is blue, Let's go for a walk in the park, Put on the white tulle gown In tune with the clear moonlight. The neighborhood has fallen asleep and the two of us Watching the stars tremble, We'll walk together, My love, to dream. Together to the park we'll go And we'll sit and there we'll tell each other Our sweet tales, Our oaths, Under the firmament Warm with glow. And as we watch the two of us run A little star through the blue sky, We'll ask it to bring us luck And that we love each other Always, till death. Under the pupils Of a million stars, That twinkle their light We will be sincere, We will embrace With one and the same love. And in the parish night Under this beautiful heavenly court, We'll kiss each other religiously In sweet peace.
