Quiero amarte con pasión
I want to love you with passion
Y brincar de flor en flor
And jump from flower to flower
Y en un trébol darte amor
And in a clover give you love
(Cariño)
(Darling)
Y arroparte bajo el sol
And wrap you under the sun
Con hojitas de un limón
With little leaves of a lemon
Y estrujar tu corazón
And squeeze your heart
(Al mío)
(To mine)
Una higuera quiero ser
I want to be a fig tree
Para regarte la piel
To shower your skin
Un espejo de algodón
A mirror of cotton
(Florido)
(Flowery)
Un kilómetro de mar
A kilometer of sea
Ay
Oh
Un pellejo de acordeón
A skin of accordion
Pa' entonar una canción
To sing a song
(Contigo)
(With you)
Hazme un invierno de papel
Make me a winter of paper
Donde tirite mi querer
Where my love shivers
Tráeme una agüita de ilusión
Bring me a little water of hope
Para mojar
To soak
La savia de este amor
The sap of this love
Pero que mira qué bonito va
But look how beautifully it goes
Qué bonito es
How beautiful it is
(Dale amor)
(Give me love)
(Mal de amor)
(Love's ailment)
(Dame amor)
(Give me love)
(Mal de amor)
(Love's ailment)
Quiero amarte con pasión
I want to love you passionately
Y brincar de flor en flor
And leap from flower to flower
Y en un trébol darte amor
And in a clover give you love
(Cariño)
(Darling)
Y arroparte bajo el sol
And cover you under the sun
Con hojitas de un limón
With little leaves of a lemon
Y estrujar tu corazón
And squeeze your heart
(Al mío)
(To mine)
