Lyrics

Español

Hermosa muñeca de talle gentil Trocito de cielo, capullo de abril, Lo mismo que el poeta, quisiera cantar Tu esbelta silueta, tu gracia sin par. Mas frente a tu imagen que me hace soñar Prefiero adorarte, mirarte y callar, Porque no hay palabras en mi confesión Que expresen el ansia de mi corazón. ¿Quién eres tú? ¿Qué misterio hay en tu fascinación? ¿Quién eres tú? ¿Por qué a tu lado tiemblo de emoción? ¿Quién eres tú? ¿Una estrella que me ciega de esplendor? ¿Quién eres tú? ¡Para que yo muera por tu amor! Tu aliento es perfume, tu voz, celestial Caricias tus ojos, tu boca sensual, Por eso al mirarte yo que nunca amé Te quiero, te adoro, ya cuánto no sé... Quien dice que Venus es la perfección No ha visto tu talle ni ha oído tu voz, ¡Ah! Si yo pudiera decírtelo a ti Todo lo que siento desde que te vi...

English · machine translation

Beautiful doll of gentle waist Little piece of heaven, bud of April, Like the poet, I would like to sing Your slender silhouette, your peerless grace. But in front of your image that makes me dream I prefer to adore you, to look at you and be silent, Because there are no words in my confession That express the longing of my heart. Who are you? What mystery is there in your fascination? Who are you? Why do I tremble with emotion at your side? Who are you? A star that blinds me with splendor? Who are you? That I should die for your love! Your breath is perfume, your voice, celestial Caresses your eyes, your sensual mouth, That's why when I look at you I who never loved I love you, I adore you, and how much I don't know.... Who says that Venus is perfection Has neither seen your waist nor heard your voice, Ah! If I could say it to you... All that I feel since I saw you...
