|
Acaricia mi ensueño el suave murmullo de tu suspirar. Como rie la vida si tus ojos negros me quieren mirar. Y si es mio el amparo de tu risa leve que es como un cantar, ella aquieta mi herida, todo, todo se olvida. |
It's toying with my daydreams, that gentle little music that murmurs in your sighs... What's life made of but laughter when you show me all the darkling attention of your eyes! And whenever I find my haven within your little chuckle that's like a lullaby— then all the pains that grind me, they're hushed and left behind me... |

El día que me quieras la rosa que engalana, se vestirá de fiesta con su mejor color. Y al viento las campanas dirán que ya eres mía, y locas las fontanas se contaran su amor. |
The day you ever love me, the beautifying rose shall dress for celebration and show its deepest hue. And the church-bells when the wind blows will say you're really mine, and the fountains will talk of love, for they'll be crazy too. |

La noche que me quieras desde el azul del cielo, las estrellas celosas nos mirarán pasar. Y un rayo misterioso hara nido en tu pelo, luciernagas curiosas que veran que eres mi consuelo. |
The night you ever love me, from high in the blue of the heavens the stars will shine with envy to watch us passing by. And the mystery of a moonbeam shall nestle down in your hair, curious fireflies shall wander out to see you're the answer to my prayer. |

El día que me quieras no habra más que armonía. Será clara la aurora y alegre el manantial. Traerá quieta la brisa rumor de melodía. Y nos daran las fuentes su canto de cristal. El día que me quieras endulzara sus cuerdas el pajaro cantor. Florecerá la vida no existira el dolor. |
The day you ever love me there will be nothing but harmony. The morning shall be clear and the brooks run full of mirth. The quiet breeze shall carry us whispers of a melody. And we'll hear the crystal song of the fountains of the earth. The day you ever love me the songbird shall tune his pipes far sweeter than before. Life will break into flower, sorrow shall be no more. |
