Que se quede el infinito sin estrellas
Let infinity remain without stars
O que pierda el ancho mar su inmensidad
Or let the wide sea lose its vastness
Pero el negro de tus ojos que no muera
But the black of your eyes must not die
Y el canela de tu piel se quede igual
And the cinnamon of your skin should stay the same
Si perdiera el arcoíris su belleza
If the rainbow were to lose its beauty
Y las flores su perfume y su color
And flowers their fragrance and their color
No sería tan inmensa mi tristeza
My sadness wouldn't be so immense
Como aquella de quedarme sin tu amor
As that of being left without your love
Me importas tú, y tú, y tú
It's you, and you, and you that matter to me
Y solamente tú, y tú, y tú
And only you, and you, and you
Me importas tú, y tú, y tú
It's you, and you, and you that matter to me
Y nadie más que tú
And no one else but you
Ojos negros, piel canela
Black eyes, cinnamon skin
Que me llegan a desesperar
That make me desperate
Me importas tú, y tú, y tú
It's you, and you, and you that matter to me
Y nadie más que tú
And no one else but you
Me importas tú, y tú, y tú
It's you, and you, and you that matter to me
Y nadie más que tú
And no one else but you
Que se quede el infinito sin estrellas
Let infinity stay without stars
O que pierda el ancho mar su inmensidad
Or let the wide sea lose its vastness
Pero el negro de tus ojos que no muera
But the black of your eyes must not die
Y el canela de tu piel se quede igual
And the cinnamon of your skin should stay the same
Si perdiera el arcoíris su belleza
If the rainbow were to lose its beauty
Y las flores su perfume y su color
And the flowers their scent and their color
No sería tan inmensa mi tristeza
My sadness wouldn't be as immense
Como aquella de quedarme sin tu amor
As that of being left without your love
Me importas tú, y tú, y tú
You matter to me, and you, and you
Y solamente tú, y tú, y tú
And only you, and you, and you
Me importas tú, y tú, y tú
You matter to me, and you, and you
Y nadie más que tú
And no one else but you
Ojos negros, piel canela
Black eyes, cinnamon skin
Que me llegan a desesperar
You drive me to despair
Me importas tú, y tú, y tú
It's you, and you, and you
Y nadie más que tú
And no one else but you
Me importas tú, y tú, y tú
It's you, and you, and you
Y nadie más que tú
And no one else but you
Me importas tú, y tú, y tú
It's you, and you, and you
Y nadie más que tú
And no one else but you
Nadie más que tú
No one else but you
