Ay
Oh
Ven y dime todas esas cosas
Come and tell me all those things
Invítame a sentarme junto a ti
Invite me to sit beside you
Escucharé todos tus sueños
I'll listen to all your dreams
En mi oído
In my ear
Y déjame estrechar tus manos
And let me hold your hands tight
Y regalarte unas pocas de ilusiones
And gift you a few illusions
Ay, ven y cuéntame una historia
Oh, come and tell me a story
Que me haga sentir bien
That makes me feel good
Yo te escucharé
I'll listen to you
Con todo el silencio del planeta
With all the silence of the planet
Y miraré tus ojos
And I'll gaze into your eyes
Como si fueran los últimos de este país
As if they were the last in this land
Ay
Oh
Déjame ver cómo es que floreces
Let me see how it is that you bloom
Con cinco pétalos, te absorberé
With five petals, I'll absorb you
Cinco sentidos que te roban
Five senses that steal away
Solo un poco de tu ser
Just a little of your being
Y seis veces para vivirte
And six times to live you
Debajo de una misma luna
Under the same moon
Y otras nueve pasarán
And nine others will pass
Para sentir que nuevas flores nacerán
To feel that new flowers will bloom
Y que cada estrella
And that each star
Fuese una flor
Was a flower
Y así regalarte
And thus gift you
Todo un racimo de estrellas
A whole cluster of stars
Nou-uh, no dejes que amanezca
Nou-uh, don't let it dawn
No dejes que la noche caiga
Don't let the night fall
No dejes que el sol salga
Don't let the sun rise
Solo déjame estar junto a ti
Just let me be by your side
Huh-huh
Huh-huh
Huh-huh
Huh-huh
