Te regalo una rosa
I gift you a rose
La encontré en el camino
I found it on the road
No sé si está desnuda
I don't know if it's naked
O tiene un solo vestido
Or if it has just one dress
No, no lo sé
No, I don't know
Si la riega el verano
If summer waters it
O se embriaga de olvido
Or if it gets drunk on forgetfulness
Si alguna vez fue amada
If it was ever loved
O tiene amores escondidos
Or if it has hidden loves
Ay, ay ay ay, amor
Oh, oh oh oh, love
Eres la rosa que me da calor
You are the rose that warms me
Eres el sueño de mi soledad
You are the dream of my solitude
Un letargo de azul
A lethargy of blue
Un eclipse de mar, pero
An eclipse of the sea, but
Ay, ay ay ay, amor
Oh, oh oh oh, love
Yo soy satélite y tú eres mi sol
I am a satellite and you are my sun
Un universo de agua mineral
A universe of mineral water
Un espacio de luz
A space of light
Que solo llenas tu, ay amor
That only you fill, oh love

Te regalo mis manos
I gift you my hands
Mis párpados caídos
My fallen eyelids
El beso más profundo
The deepest kiss
El que se ahoga en un gemido, oh
The one that drowns in a moan, oh
Te regalo un otoño
I gift you an autumn
Un día entre abril y junio
A day between April and June
Un rayo de ilusiones
A ray of hopes
Un corazón al desnudo
A heart laid bare
Ay, ay ay ay, amor
Ay, ay ay ay, love
Eres la rosa que me da calor
You are the rose that warms me
Eres el sueño de mi soledad
