Lyrics

Español

La tarde que en tus ojos vi el mundo de mi cielo ideal, todas mis ansias puse en ti y desde entonces supe amar. Y mientras que en un velo azul brillaba majestuoso el sol, yo te quise entregar mis suspiros de amor. Tu vida encantadora amé de cuando te acercaste a mí, porque me parecía ver un cielo de ternura en ti. Y de esa vez, mis ansias van buscando tu pasión porque ella aumenta mi viva emoción. Junto a la madreselva en flor tu boca, sólo mía, fue, y en ella mi cariño halló la gloria que soñé. ¿Te acuerdas, mi preciosa hurí, que tu alma enamorada, fue en todo mi feliz querer una rosa de Abril? Tú sos, mi bien, vergel de amor, mujer por quien mi ser vivió. Y si tu corazón me das he de sentir la dulce paz de mi vivir.

English · machine translation

The afternoon that in your eyes I saw the world of my ideal sky, I put all my longings in you and since then I knew how to love. And while in a blue veil the sun shone majestic, I wanted to give you my sighs of love. Your enchanting life I loved when you came close to me, because I seemed to see a heaven of tenderness in you. And from that time, my longings go looking for your passion because it increases my lively emotion. Next to the honeysuckle in bloom your mouth, only mine, was, and in it my affection found the glory I dreamed of. Do you remember, my precious hurí, that your soul, in love, was in all my happy love a rose of April? You are, my good orchard of love, woman for whom my being lived. And if you give me your heart I shall feel the sweet peace of my life.
