Lyrics

Español

Late un corazón, déjalo latir... Miente mi soñar, déjame mentir... Late un corazón porque he de verte nuevamente, miente mi soñar porque regresas lentamente. Late un corazón... me parece verte regresar con el adiós. Y al volver gritarás tu horror, el ayer, el dolor, la nostalgia, pero al fin bajarás la voz y atarás tu ansiedad de distancias. Y sabrás por qué late un corazón al decir... ¡Qué feliz!... Y un compás, y un compás de amor unirá para siempre el adiós. Ya verás, amor, qué feliz serás... ¿Oyes el compás? Es el corazón. Ya verás qué dulces son las horas del regreso, ya verás qué dulces los reproches y los besos. Ya verás, amor, qué felices horas al compás del corazón.

English · machine translation

A heart beats, let it beat... Lie my dreaming, let me lie... Beat a heart for I must see you again, lie my dreaming because you come back slowly. A heart beats... it seems to me to see you return with goodbye. And when you come back you will scream your horror, the yesterday, the pain, the nostalgia, but at last you'll lower your voice and you'll tie up your anxiety of distances. And you will know why a heart beats to say... How happy... And a beat, and a beat of love Will forever bind the goodbye. You'll see, love, how happy you'll be... Do you hear the beat? It's the heart. You'll see how sweet are the hours of the return, you'll see how sweet the reproaches and kisses are. You'll see, love, what happy hours to the rhythm of the heart.
