Les voy a describir
I'm going to describe to you
La forma en que la vi
The way I saw her
A ella aquella noche
That night
Vestida de tul blanco
Dressed in white tulle
Que hasta me parece verla hoy, cerca a mí
I can almost see her today, close to me
La vi llegar a mí con su sensual vestir
I saw her come to me in her sensual attire
De diosa tentadora y en mi interior sentí
Like a tempting goddess, and inside I felt
Una llama abrasadora
A burning flame
Como si fuese una realidad
As if it were a reality
Y para culminar aquel sueño divino
And to culminate that divine dream
Que ya me atormentaba
That was already tormenting me
Le tendí mis manos
I reached out my hands
Ya desesperado, y el hada sonriente, entonaba así
Already desperate, and the smiling fairy sang like this
Yo he llegado hasta ti
I have come to you
Como fiel portadora de esta melodía
As the faithful bearer of this melody
El Divino me envió
The Divine sent me
Para que irradies, tú, la musa celestial
So that you may shine, you, the celestial muse
Corazones duros, sé que ablandarás
Hard hearts, I know you will soften
En esta melodía harás tu musa realzar
In this melody, you will enhance your muse
Yo quisiera escuchar hasta en mi ancianidad
I would like to listen even in my old age
La misma melodía
The same melody
No debes olvidar esta ofrenda que viene dedicada a ti
You must not forget this offering dedicated to you
Melodía sublime
Sublime melody
Que alimentas el alma
That nourishes the soul
Cuando voy a entonar, me parece escuchar tu voz
When I'm about to sing, it feels like I hear your voice
Melodía sublime
Sublime melody
Que alimentas el alma
That nourishes the soul
Cuando voy a entonar
When I'm about to sing
Me parece escuchar tu voz
It feels like I hear your voice
He llegado hasta ti
I have arrived to you
Como fiel portadora de esta melodía
As a faithful bearer of this melody
El Divino me envió
The Divine sent me
Para que irradies, tú, la musa celestial
So you can radiate, you, the celestial muse
Corazones duros sé que ablandarás
Hard hearts I know you will soften
En esta melodía harás tu musa realzar
In this melody, you'll make your muse shine
Yo quisiera escuchar hasta en mi ancianidad
I wish to hear it even in my old age
La misma melodía
The same melody
No debes olvidar esta ofrenda que viene dedicada a ti
You must not forget this offering dedicated to you
Melodía sublime
Sublime melody
Que alimentas el alma
That nourishes the soul
Cuando voy a entonar
When I go to sing
Me parece escuchar tu voz
I seem to hear your voice
Melodía sublime
Sublime melody
Que alimentas el alma
That nourishes the soul
Cuando voy a entonar
When I go to sing
Me parece escuchar tu voz
I seem to hear your voice
