Lo de menos son todos los secretos
The least of it all are the secrets
Que intuyo, huelo, toco y siempre te respeto
That I sense, smell, touch, and always respect you
Lo de menos es que jamás me sobres
The least of it all is that you never spoil me
Que tu amor me enriquezca, haciéndome más pobre
Let your love enrich me, making me poorer
Lo de menos es que tus sentimientos
The least of it all is that your feelings
No marchen en horario con mi renacimiento
Don't synchronize with my rebirth schedule
Lo de menos es larga soledad
The least of it all is the long solitude
Lo de menos es cuánto corazón
The least of it all is how much heart
Lo que menos importa es mi razón
What matters least is my reason
Lo de menos, incluso, es tu jamás
The least of it all, even, is your never
Mientras cante mi amor, intentando atrapar
As long as my love sings, trying to capture
Las palabras que digan
The words they say
Las palabras que digan
The words they say
Las palabras que digan lo de más
The words they say about everything else
Amoroso, de forma que no mancha
Loving, in a way that leaves no stain
En verso y melodía, recurro a la revancha
In verse and melody, I seek my revenge
Mi despecho te besará la vida
My spite will kiss your life
Allá donde más sola o donde más querida
Over there where you’re most alone or where you’re most cherished
Dondequiera que saltes o que gires
Wherever you jump or spin
Habrá un segundo mío para que lo suspires
There will be a moment of mine for you to sigh it out
Es la prenda de larga soledad
It's the garment of long solitude
Es la prenda de cuánto corazón
It's the garment of how much heart
Lo que menos importa es mi razón
What matters least is my reason
Lo de menos, incluso, es tu jamás
What matters the least, even, is your never
Mientras cante mi amor, intentando atrapar
As long as my love sings, trying to catch
Las palabras que digan
The words that say
Las palabras que digan
The words that say
Las palabras que digan lo de más
The words that say the rest
Pajarillo, delfín de mis dos rosas
Little bird, dolphin of my two roses
Espántame los golpes y no la mariposa
Scare away the blows and not the butterfly
Ejercita tu danza en mi cintura
Exercise your dance on my waist
Aroma incomparable, oh, pan de mi locura
Incomparable scent, oh, bread of my madness
Con tu cuerpo vestido de mis manos
With your body dressed in my hands
Haré una nueva infancia, al borde del océano
I'll create a new childhood, by the edge of the ocean
Desde el mar, te lo cuento en soledad
From the sea, I tell it to you in solitude
Desde el mar, te lo lanza un corazón
From the sea, it throws it to you from a heart
Lo que menos importa es mi razón
What matters least is my reason
Lo de menos, incluso, es tu jamás
What matters even less is your never
Mientras cante mi amor, intentando atrapar
As long as my love sings, trying to catch
Las palabras que digan
The words that say
Las palabras que digan
The words that are spoken
Las palabras que digan lo de más
The words that say everything else
