Acaricia mi ensueño
Caress my dream
El suave murmullo
The soft whisper
De tu suspirar
Of your sighing
Como ríe la vida
How life laughs
Si tus ojos negros
If your dark eyes
Me quieren mirar
Want to gaze at me
Y si es mío el amparo
And if it's mine, the shelter
De tu risa leve
Of your gentle laugh
Que es como un cantar
Which is like a song
Ella aquieta mi herida
She soothes my wound
Todo, todo se olvida
All, all is forgotten
El día que me quieras
The day that you love me
La rosa que engalana
The rose that adorns
Se vestirá de fiesta
Will dress up in celebration
Con su mejor color
In its finest color
Al viento las campanas
To the wind the bells
Dirán que ya eres mío
Will say that you are mine
Y locas las fontanas
And madly the fountains
Me contarán tu amor
Will tell of your love
La noche que me quieras
The night that you love me
Desde el azul del cielo
From the blue of the sky
Las estrellas celosas
The jealous stars
Nos mirarán pasar
Will watch us go by
Y un rayo misterioso
And a mysterious ray
Hará nido en tu pelo
Will make a nest in your hair
Luciérnaga curiosa que verá
Curious firefly that will see
Que eres mi consuelo
That you are my comfort
Y un rayo misterioso
And a mysterious ray
Hará nido en tu pelo
Will make a nest in your hair
Luciérnaga curiosa que verá
Curious firefly that will see
Que eres mi consuelo
That you are my comfort
