No necesito pastillas para dormir si estás conmigo
I don't need pills to sleep if you're with me
Todos los sueños florecen cuando me hablas al oído
All dreams bloom when you whisper in my ear
No necesito millones ni acorralar los corazones
I don't need millions or to corner hearts
Y solo en tu cafetera todo el cielo enamorado se cuela
And only in your coffee pot does all the enamored sky seep in
No necesito decirte dos mil quinientas veces
I don't need to tell you two thousand five hundred times
Multiplicado por siete que te espero noche y día
Multiplied by seven that I wait for you night and day
Que me disculpen los sabios pero la sabiduría
Forgive me, wise ones, but wisdom
Duerme detrás de tu oreja y no en Grecia como la historia creía
Sleeps behind your ear and not in Greece as history believed
Ábreme la noche y ven a ver
Open the night for me and come to see
Cómo te puedo querer eternamente
How I can love you eternally
Cúrame la sombra al caminar
Heal me, the shadow as I walk
Que se corre si no estás
It runs away if you're not here
No necesito violines, pizzicatos en el pecho
I don't need violins, pizzicatos in my chest
Eres todo mi concierto, la más bella sinfonía
You are my entire concert, the most beautiful symphony
Que me disculpe el poeta pero toda la poesía
Let the poet forgive me, but all the poetry
La encuentro sobre un madero y me verso con tus rodillas que riman
I find it on a piece of wood and I verse with your knees that rhyme
Ábreme la noche y ven a ver
Open the night for me and come to see
Cómo te puedo querer eternamente
How I can love you eternally
Cúrame la sombra al caminar
Heal me, the shadow as I walk
Que se corre si no estás
It runs away if you're not here
No necesito pastillas para dormir si estás conmigo
I don't need pills to sleep if you're with me
Todos los sueños florecen cuando me hablas al oído
All my dreams blossom when you whisper in my ear
No necesito millones ni acorralar los corazones
I don't need millions or to corner hearts
Y solo en tu cafetera todo el cielo enamorado se cuela
And only in your coffee pot does all the sky in love seep in
