Si vienes a mi
If you come to me
Tan linda y gentil
So lovely and kind
Se llena el cielo de esplendor ...mi amor
The sky fills with splendor... my love
Es ya mi visa
It's already my visa
Flor encendida
Ignited flower
Que con la voz del placer convida.
That with the voice of pleasure invites.
Te veo venir
I see you coming
Me siento morir
I feel like I’m dying
Y solamente sé decir ...mi amor
And all I know to say... my love
Tú eres mi alma
You are my soul
La flor que calma
The flower that soothes
Toda mi angustia y mi dolor.
All my anguish and my pain.
Tus besos me das
You give me your kisses
Y te pido más
And I ask for more
Y así calmarás mi anhelo
And this way you'll calm my longing
En ese volcán
In that volcano
Se enciende mi afán
Ignites my desire
De ser muy feliz, mi cielo
To be very happy, my darling
Si fuego eres tú
If you are fire
Por tu juventud,
Because of your youth,
Seré tu sol abrasador ...mi amor
I will be your blazing sun ...my love
Y esta locura
And this madness
Será hermosura
Will be beauty
En nuestro edén embriagador ...mi amor
In our intoxicating Eden ...my love
Antes la muerte
I'd choose death
Que ya no verte
Over not seeing you again
Pues para mi no hay bien mayor.
For there is no greater good for me.
