Siempre escondidos de aquellos ojos

que delataran la verdad entre los dos,
that would reveal the truth between us,
el pelo rubio ingles perfecto,
the perfect English blonde hair,
yo muy latino con mis poemas un soñador
I'm very Latino with my poems, a dreamer,
Fue imposible
It was impossible
tu sociedad no aceptaria impertinencias

y media noche nos miraban las estrellas
and at midnight the stars watched us
unir en cuerpo y alma todo nuestro amor
to unite in body and soul all our love
Nos prometimos el cielo y tierra a media noche
We promised each other heaven and earth at midnight
y descubrimos que en el amor no hay fronteras
and we discovered that in love there are no borders
que el negro y blanco son colores y no barreras
that black and white are colors and not barriers
que el verbo amar se conjugado en nuestras venas
that the verb to love is conjugated in our veins
así se oponga quien se oponga entre los dos
no matter who opposes us between the two
y sin misterios hoy damos la cara al que critica
and without mysteries, today we face those who criticize
a los que viven de lo ajeno y no se explican
to those who live off others and can't explain themselves
el porque son infelices en la vida

yo solo tengo una respuesta para toda aquella gente
I only have one answer for all those people
hoy lo demuestro ante Dios y estoy consciente
today I prove it before God and I am aware
era valioso aquel amor de medianoche
that midnight love was precious
(Era valioso aquel amor de medianoche... de medianoche)
(That midnight love was precious... precious midnight love)
A medianoche nos confundimos y en cuerpo y alma
At midnight we got lost in body and soul
es que descubrimos que en el amor nunca había fronteras
It's that we discovered that in love there were never borders
no nunca habian barreras /
No, there were never barriers/
que bonito es el amor cuando llega a nuestras vidas

sana la herida y calma el dolor y a de eso ha quitado espinas /
It heals the wound and calms the pain and takes away the thorns/
/ todos los que creían que nunca perduraría
/ Everyone who thought it would never last
doy la cara y los demuestro que no era todo tan imperfecto /
I show my face and prove to them it wasn't all so imperfect/
/ y fue una noche asi acompañado de estrellas se hizo mia toda
/ And it was a night like that, accompanied by stars, it became all mine
ella y hoy recuerdo el decir asi era valioso aquel amor de medianoche.
And today I remember saying that love of midnight was so precious.
