Lyrics

Español

Acaricia mi ensueño el suave murmullo de tu suspirar, ¡como ríe la vida si tus ojos negros me quieren mirar! Y si es mío el amparo de tu risa leve que es como un cantar, ella aquieta mi herida, ¡todo, todo se olvida..! El día que me quieras la rosa que engalana se vestirá de fiesta con su mejor color. Al viento las campanas dirán que ya eres mía y locas las fontanas me contarán tu amor. La noche que me quieras desde el azul del cielo, las estrellas celosas nos mirarán pasar y un rayo misterioso hará nido en tu pelo, luciérnaga curiosa que verá…¡que eres mi consuelo..! Recitado: El día que me quieras no habrá más que armonías, será clara la aurora y alegre el manantial. Traerá quieta la brisa rumor de melodías y nos darán las fuentes su canto de cristal. El día que me quieras endulzará sus cuerdas el pájaro cantor, florecerá la vida, no existirá el dolor… La noche que me quieras desde el azul del cielo, las estrellas celosas nos mirarán pasar y un rayo misterioso hará nido en tu pelo, luciérnaga curiosa que verá… ¡que eres mi consuelo!

English · machine translation

Caress my reverie the soft murmur of your sighing, how life laughs if your black eyes want to look at me! And if mine is the shelter of your light laughter that is like a song, it soothes my wound, everything, everything is forgotten...! The day you love me the rose that adorns will be dressed for a party with its best color. To the wind the bells will say that you are already mine and the crazy fountains will tell me of your love. The night you love me from the blue of the sky, the jealous stars will watch us pass by and a mysterious ray will nest in your hair, curious firefly who will see...that you are my comfort...! Recitation: The day you love me there will be nothing but harmonies, the dawn will be clear and the spring will be joyful. The breeze will be still the murmur of melodies and the fountains will give us their crystal song. The day you love me will sweeten its strings the singing bird, life will blossom, there will be no pain... The night you love me from the blue of the sky, the jealous stars will watch us pass by and a mysterious ray will nest in your hair, curious firefly who will see... that you are my comfort!
