Reforestame el amor
Reforest my love
De ayer
From yesterday
Siembra una tarea de cariño
Plant a task of affection
En mi corazón
In my heart
Dale de beber
Give it something to drink
Abonalo en tu pecho
Nourish it within your chest
Desnudalo sobre el huerto
Strip it bare on the garden
Y hazlo crecer
And let it grow
Reforestame al amanecer
Reforest me at dawn
Cubre con tus manos mi lecho
Cover my bed with your hands
Y un rayo de luz
And a ray of light
Nos dibujará
Will draw us
Mi tierra es de la buena
My land is good
Tu siembra será cosecha
Your sowing will be harvest
Una vez más
Once again
Y sí llueve arropalo en tu pelo
And if it rains, wrap it in your hair
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Arrullalo en la arena
Cuddle it in the sand
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Y enseñale el camino
And show it the way
De la luna entre palmeras
From the moon among palm trees
Y bendicelo en el riachuelo
And bless it in the stream
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Y a gajo de ternura
And a slice of tenderness
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Acuestalo en el cielo
Lay it in the sky
Cómo nube de azucena
Like a lily cloud
Reforestame el amor
Replant my love
De ayer
From yesterday
Siembra una tarea de cariño
Sow a task of affection
En mi corazón
In my heart
Dale de beber
Give it a drink
Abonalo en tu pecho
Nurture it in your chest
Desnudalo sobre el huerto
Undress it over the garden
Y hazlo crecer
And let it grow
Y sí llueve arropalo en tu pelo
And if it rains, wrap it in your hair
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Arrullalo en la arena
Lull it in the sand
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Y enseñale el camino
And show it the way
De la luna entre palmeras
From the moon among the palm trees
Y bendicelo en el riachuelo
And bless it in the stream
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Y a gajo de ternura
And a slice of tenderness
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Acuestalo en el cielo
Lay it down in the sky
Cómo nube de azucena
Like a lily cloud
Reforestame el amor
Reforest my love
De ayer
From yesterday
Siembra una tarea de cariño
Sow a task of affection
En mi corazón
In my heart
Dale de beber
Give it a drink
Abonalo en tu pecho
Nurture it in your chest
Desnudalo sobre el huerto
Strip it over the garden
Y hazlo crecer
And make it grow
