Lyrics: Carlos Waiss
Rec. by Juan D'Arienzo
with Armando Laborde
  Tr. Jake Spatz
Recited 16 Nov. 05, Divino Lounge
 
Nena,
dame un beso aquí en los labios
y que borre aquel agravio
que tu boca me mintió.
Esta noche tengo celos,
y al decirte que te quiero
siento tuyo el corazón.

Baby,
give me a kiss here on the lips,
and one that erases the wrong
your false mouth did against me.
I'm a jealous man tonight,
and on telling you I love you
I feel my own heart yours.

Nena,
no me canso de mirarte:
Si no encuentro en otra parte
más encanto que tu amor...
Tengo ganas de arrullarte,
tengo ganas de mimarte
como nadie te mimó.

Baby,
I never get tired of looking at you:
I might never meet anywhere else
greater enchantment than your love...
I've got it in me to lullaby you,
I've got it in me to spoil you
like you've never spoiled before.

Yuyo brujo de tus besos!
Yuyo brujo de tu amor!

The witches' brew of your kisses!
The witches' brew of your love!

Cuántas veces soñé
que venías a mí,
y al soñar presentí tu querer.

How many times I dreamed
that you came to me,
and offered me your love the while I dreamed.

Nunca digas que ya no me quieres,
un amor al otro amor no hiere!
No me digas que no,
no te quiero perder
porque muero de amor sin tu amor...

Never tell me you want me no more—
one love doesn't harm another!
Don't ever tell me no,
I don't want to lose you
because I'd die of love without your love.

Nena,
tengo dudas, tengo celos,
tengo miedo, mucho miedo
que me puedas decir no...
Yo no sé qué loco embrujo
le pusiste al yuyo brujo
que le diste al corazón!

Baby,
I'm deep in doubt, I'm jealous,
I'm afraid, I'm so afraid
you'll have it in you to tell me no...
I don't know what crazy spell
was cast on the witches' brew
that passed right to my heart!
