Bella mujer
Beautiful woman
Si supieras lo mucho que sufro por ti
If you only knew how much I suffer for you
Si supieras lo mucho que te quiero
If you only knew how much I love you
Si supieras mi bien lo que vive en mi ser
If you only knew, my dear, what lives within my being
Me adoraras sin fin con inmensa pasión
You would adore me endlessly with immense passion
Porque siento latir dentro del corazón
Because I feel it beating inside my heart
Los efluvios que me hacen vivir
The fragrances that make me live
Tú, la divina ensoñación
You, the divine dream
Que cautivó mi ser eternamente
That captivated my being eternally
Tú, la delicada flor
You, the delicate flower
Cuyo esplendor ha turbado mi mente
Whose splendor has disturbed my mind
Deja que bese tus labios
Let me kiss your lips
Y que en mi delirio me embriague de amor
And let me be intoxicated with love in my delirium
Deja que con besos sabios viva la ternura
Let me live tenderness with wise kisses
De mi corazón, negrita linda
From my heart, beautiful dark one
¿Por qué no dejas que bese tus labios
Why don't you let me kiss your lips
Y que en mi delirio me embriague de amor?
And let me be intoxicated with love in my delirium?
Deja que con besos sabios viva la ternura
Let me live tenderness with wise kisses
De mi corazón
From my heart
Pero que tú, la divina ensoñación
But you, the divine daydream
Que cautivó mi ser eternamente, eternamente
That captivated my being eternally, eternally
Tú, la delicada flor
You, the delicate flower
Cuyo esplendor ha turbado mi mente
Whose splendor has disturbed my mind
Deja que bese tus labios
Let me kiss your lips
Y que en mi delirio me embriague de amor
And let me get drunk with love in my delirium
Deja que con besos sabios viva la ternura
Let me live tenderness with wise kisses
De mi corazón, negrita linda
From my heart, beautiful dark one
¿Por qué no dejas que bese tus labios
Why don't you let me kiss your lips
Y que en mi delirio me embriague de amor?
And let me get drunk with love in my delirium?
Deja que con besos sabios viva la ternura
Let me live tenderness with wise kisses
De mi corazón
From my heart
