Ay, amor, este corazón nunca se cansa
Oh, love, this heart never grows weary
De quererte día y noche
Of loving you day and night
Ay, amor, tierno como un soplo de verano
Oh, love, tender like a breath of summer
No se dobla ni se rompe
It doesn't bend or break
Pasarán los meses y los años
Months and years will pass
Pasarán los cielos y el cantor
Skies and singers will come and go
Pasará la tierra con su agenda de sol
The earth will pass with its schedule of sun
Pero nunca pasará este amor
But this love will never fade
Ay, amor, este corazón sólo se hidrata
Oh, love, this heart only flourishes
Con los besos de tu boca
With the kisses from your lips
Ay, amor, y no pide nada solo amarte
Oh, love, and asks for nothing but to love you
A su tiempo y a deshora
In its own time and out of time
Pasarán los siglos y los mares
Centuries and seas will pass
Pasará el gemido de la flor
The sigh of the flower will pass
Pasará el más sabio de los hombres, lo sé
The wisest of men will pass, I know
Pero nunca pasará este amor
But this love will never fade
Que tú no sabes que yo
That you don’t know that I
Te canto todas las mañanas
Sing to you every morning
Una cancioncita al oído
A little song in your ear
Te arropo y cierro la ventana
I wrap you up and close the window
Para que tú no sientas frío
So you don't feel cold
Celebro todas las mañanas
I celebrate every morning
El despertar de tus cabellos
The awakening of your hair
Tu risa es la piel de mi alma
Your laughter is the skin of my soul
Y tus ojitos mis luceros
And your little eyes are my stars
Ay, amor, una eternidad no es suficiente
Oh, love, an eternity isn't enough
Cuando el tiempo se enamora
When time falls in love
Pasarán las leyes, las teorías
Laws and theories will pass
Pasará el profeta y su clamor
The prophet and his cry will pass
Pasará la luna con su escote de luz
The moon will pass with its neckline of light
Pero nunca pasará este amor
But this love will never fade
Que tú no sabes que yo
That you don't know that I
Te canto todas las mañanas
Sing to you every morning
Una cancioncita al oído
A little song in your ear
Te arropo y cierro la ventana
I tuck you in and close the window
Para que tu no sientas frío
So you don't feel the cold
Celebro todas las mañanas
I celebrate every morning
El despertar de tus cabellos
The awakening of your hair
Tu risa es la piel de mi alma
Your laughter is the skin of my soul
Y tus ojitos mis luceros
And your little eyes are my bright stars
Te canto todas las mañanas
I sing to you every morning
Una cancioncita de amor
A little love song
(Y oro, y oro, y oro)
(And I pray, and I pray, and I pray)
(Y oro, y oro, y oro)
(And I pray, and I pray, and I pray)
(Y oro, y oro, y oro)
(And I pray, and I pray, and I pray)
Tú no sabes que yo te canto cada mañana (mi cancioncita temprano)
You don't know that I sing to you every morning (my little song early)
Tú no sabes que yo, tú no sabes que yo
You don't know that I, you don't know that I
Que no sabes que yo te canto cada mañana (te arropo, te beso y hasta cierro la ventana)
That you don't know that I sing to you every morning (I wrap you up, I kiss you, and even close the window)
Tú no sabes que yo, tú no sabes que yo
You don't know that I, you don't know that I
Tú no sabes que yo te canto cada mañana (pasarán las historias de mi pasado, oye)
You don't know that I sing to you every morning (the stories of my past will pass, hey)
Tú no sabes que yo, tú no sabes que yo (pero este amor nunca pasa)
You don't know that I, you don't know that I (but this love never fades)
Que tú no sabes que yo te canto cada mañana (y con tus besos se trata, oye)
That you don't know I sing to you every morning (and it's all about your kisses, hey)
Tú no sabes que yo
You don't know that I
