El Cofre / The Chest
Spanish
Me dijeron
Que vas a dejarme
Que voy a quedarme muy solo sin ti
Que al marcharte no quieres ni hablarme
Ni tampoco vas a explicarme
Que motivo te indujo este fin.
Antes de que te vayas quiero darte
Este collar que hice con mis besos
Antes de que te vayas voy a darte
Este cofre de amor con tus recuerdos.
Cuando en el soledad de tu camino
Te detengas a ver lo que te he dado
A de volver aquí todo el pasado
Y pensarás otra vez en mi.
A de volver aquí todo el pasado
Y pensarás otra vez en mi.
Y pensarás otra vez en mi.
English
I was told
That you were going leaving me
That I’m going to be very lonely without you
That when you leave you don’t even want to talk
to me
Nor do you want to explain to me
What reason induced this end.
Before you go I want to give you
This necklace that I made with my kisses
Before you go I want to give you
This chest of love with your memories.
When in the loneliness of your path
You stop to see what I have given you
To come back here with the past
And you will think of me again.
To come back here with the past
And you will think of me again
And you will think of me again.
Un Minuto de Amor / One Minute of Love
Spanish
Hay un solo corazón
Que ha de quererte más
Encuentre o no razón,
Hay para quererte a ti
Un solo corazón
Y yo lo tengo aquí.
Muchos siglos de dolor
Y muchos de pesar
Me amenazan caer,
Y esque me amenazas tú
Con no quererme dar
Tu vida y tu querer.
Hay un solo corazón
Que llegaría al sacrificio por ti,
Si tú le dieras un minuto de amor
Lo dejarías tan feliz.
Un minuto de tu amor,
Yo sé que mi canción
Te lo puede robar,
Un minuto de tu amor
Con siglos de dolor
Te lo puedo pagar.
Hay un solo corazón

Un minuto de tu amor,
Yo sé que mi canción

Con siglos de dolor

Un minuto de tu amor.
English
There is only a heart
Who has to love you more
Whether or not there is reason,
There is to love you
Only one heart
And I have it here.
Many centuries of pain
And many of regret
Threaten me to fall,
And you threaten me
With not wanting to give me
Your life and your love.
There is only one heart
That would sacrifice himself for you,
If you gave them one minute of love
You would make him so happy.
One minute of your love,
I know that my song
Can steal it from you,
One minute of your love
WIth centuries of pain
I can pay you with.
There is only one heart

One minute of your love,

WIth centuries of pain

One minute of your love.
Cuando Tú Me Quieras / When you Love Me
Spanish
Noche a noche sueño contigo
Siento tu vida en la mía
Cual sombra divina
Cual eco distante
Que apenas puedo oír.
Cuando tu me quieras
Cuando te vea sonreír
Vibraran las campanas
Y alegres mariposas
Lucirán sus colores
En suave vaivén.
Cuando tú me quieras
Cuando me digas que sí
Bajaré las estrellas
Para ofrecerte un día
Y rendirme a tus pies.
Subirán por tu balcón
Las flores y el rubor reflejarán el brillo
El brillo de tus ojos
Cuando tú me quieras.
...
...
...
Cuando tu me quieras
Cuando me digas que sí
Bajaré las estrellas
Para ofrecerte un día
Y rendirme a tus pies.
English
Night to night I dream being with you
I feel your life in mine
What divine shadow
What distant echo
That I can barely hear.
When you love me
When I see you smile
The bells will vibrate
And the happy butterflies’
Colors will shine
In a smooth swing.
When you love me
When you tell me yes
I will lower the stars
To offer you one day
And surrender at your feet.
They will climb your balcony
The flowers and the blush will reflect the
sparkle
The sparkle in your eyes
When you love me.
…
…
…
When you love me
When you tell me yes
I will lower the stars
To offer you one day
And surrender at your feet.
Regálame Ésta Noche / Give Me This Night
Spanish
No quiero que te vayas,
La noche esta muy fria
Abrígame en tus brazos,
Hasta que vuelva el dia
Tu almohada esta impaciente,
De acariciar tu cara
Tal vez te de un consejo,
tal vez no diga nada
Mañana muy temprano,
Platicaras conmigo,
Y si estas decidida,
De abandonar mi nido
Entonces será en vano,
tratar de detenerte
Regalame esta noche,
Retrasame la muerte
Mañana muy temprano,
Platicaras conmigo
Y si estas decidida,
Abandonar mi nido
Entonces será en vano,
tratar de detenerte
Regalame esta noche,
retrasame la muerte
English
I don’t want you to go,
The night is very cold
Wrap me in your arms,
Until the day returns
Your pillow is impatient,
To caress your face
Maybe I will give you some advice,
Maybe I won’t say anything
Very early tomorrow,
You will talk to me,
And if you are determined,
To abandon my nest
Then it will be in vain,
To try and stop you,
Give me this night,
Delay my death
Very early tomorrow,
You will talk to me,
And if you are determined,
To abandon my nest
Then it will be in vain,
To try and stop you
Give me this night,
Delay my death
Eres Todo para Mí / You Are Everything To Me
Spanish
No le envidio al cielo su belleza
Ni le pido al mundo
Que me de riqueza
Vivo muy conforme en la pobreza
Mientras tenga el placer
De tu presencia
Si del calor del sol hoy me privaras
Yo prefiero tener el de tus brazos
Si la luz de la luna me quitaras
Me ilumina mejor la de tus ojos.
Tu eres la bendición que mi alma espera
La más grande ilusión de mis anhelos
Y muchas veces pienso en mi locura
Que si no hubiera Dios
Mi Dios tú fueras
Tu eres la bendición que mi alma espera
La más grande ilusión de mis anhelos
Y muchas veces pienso en mi locura
Que si no hubiera Dios
Mi Dios tú fueras.
* If there wasn’t a God, she would be his God. It sounds better than using the literal translation “You
would be my God”.
English
I do not envy heaven for its beauty
Nor do I ask the world
To give me riches
I live very comfortable in poverty
As long as I have the pleasure
Of your presence
If they deprived me from the heat of the sun
today
I prefer to have the one in your arms
If they took away the moonlight
The one in your eyes illuminates me better.
You are the blessing that my soul awaits
The greatest illusion of my desires
And many times I think of my madness
If there was no God
You would be mine.*
You are the blessing that my soul awaits
The greatest illusion of my desires
And many times I think of my madness
If there was no God
You would be mine.*
Todo y Nada / Everything and Nothing
Spanish
Todo lo que tengo en la vida,
Mi ternura escondida, mi ilusión de vivir
Todo te lo diera contento
Porque tu pensamiento no apartaras de mi.
Pero como no me has querido
Y lo que te he ofrecido no te puede importar,
Muere la esperanza que añoro,
Pues teniéndolo todo, nada te puedo dar.
Todo te lo diera contento
Porque tu pensamiento no apartaras de mi.
Pero como no me has querido
Y lo que te he ofrecido no te puede importar,
Muere la esperanza que añoro,
Pues teniéndolo todo, nada te puedo dar.
* The literal translation would be “Despite having everything, I can give you nothing.” which sounds
awkward and was changed to use the word “anything”.
English
Everything I have in life,
My hidden tenderness, my illusion to live
I would give you everything happily
Because the thought of you does not leave me.
But since you have not loved me
And what I have offered, you do not care for,
The hope that I long for dies,
Despite having everything, I can’t give you
anything.*
I would give you everything happily
Because the thought of you does not leave me.
But since you have not loved me
And what I have offered, you do not care for,
The hope that I long for dies,
Despite having everything, I can’t give you
anything.*
Rumbo Perdido / Lost Path

Spanish English
Se que te vas I know that you’re leaving
Con un rumbo perdido With that lost cause*
Ave fugaz Fleeting bird
Que abandonas el nido That abandons the nest
Ya no tendras You will no longer have
El calor de mis besos The heat of my kisses
Nunca podras encontrar You will never find
Un cariño mejor Better affection

Algo quizas Perhaps

Te hablara de un olvido I will tell you about a memory
Y has de querer And you have to want
Retornar a mi nido To return to my nest
Ya no podras You can no longer
Encontrar un recuerdo (no) Find a memory (no)
Porque mi amor como tu Because my love like you
Ya su rumbo perdio Has lost its course

Ya no tendrás You will no longer have

El calor de mis besos The heat of my kisses
Nunca podras encontrar You will never find
Un cariño mejor Better affection

Algo quizas Perhaps

Te hablara de un olvido I will tell you about a memory
Y has de querer And you have to want
Retornar a mi nido To return to my nest
Ya no podras You can no longer
Encontrar un recuerdo (no) Find a memory (no)
Porque mi amor como tu Because my love like you
Ya su rumbo perdio Has lost its course
Porque mi amor como tu Because my love like you
Ya su rumbo perdio. Has lost its course.

* “Rumbo Perdido” literally means lost course/path. In this context, the lover of the narrator has left
with someone else and is referred to as the “rumbo perdido”. However, to fit with how it is written,
“rumbo perdido” is translated as “lost cause”. If it had been written as “A un rumbo perdido” instead
of “Con un rumbo perdido” then it would have been appropriate to translate it as a “lost path”.

Y logren decirte lo que eres en mi
Cuantas cosas irán a contarte

English
When my nights can talk to you
And they manage to tell you what you are to me
How many things will they tell you
How many other things will you know about me
That I love you, you will know that I love you
Affection like this has never existed
That my eyes have never cried
Like that afternoon when I said goodbye to you
That I want return by your side
To have you with me to live our love
That I love you, you will know that I love you
Because you are my life, my heaven, and my
God
...
That I love you, you will know that I love you
Because you are my life, my heaven, and my
God
Because you are my life, my heaven, and my
God
Realidad y Fantasía / Reality and Fantasy

Spanish English
Cuando podré When will I
Tenerte en mis brazos Have you in my arms
Junto a mi pecho Next to my chest
Decirte cosas que a nadie And tell you things that nobody*
Que no seas tú That is not you*
Quiero decir. I want to say.*

Cuando mis labios When my lips

Besen los tuyos Kiss yours
Al fin podrán cristalizar At last they will crystalize
Las locas fantasías The crazy fantasies
Que desatas en mi mente That you unleash in my mind
Toda tú. All of you.

Yo se que tú, I know that you,

Sabrás comprender
Lo que yo mismo no sepa expresar.
Cuando te miro y pienso en las cosas
Que juntos podemos vivir.
El mundo entero
El infinito
Serán pequeños comparados con la dicha
De tenerte entre mis brazos
Al fin, de mi.
Will know how to comprehend
What I myself do not know how to express.
When I look at you and think about the things
That together we can live.
The entire world
Infinity
They will be small compared to the bliss
Of having you in my arms
At last, from me.

Yo se que tú, I know that you,

When I look at you and think about the things
That together we can live.
The entire world
Infinity
They will be small compared to the bliss
Of having you in my arms
At last, from me.

* This was the most awkward translation as translating it line by line does not do the phrase justice.
For those that are confused, the better translation would be “And tell you things that I want to say to
nobody that is not you”. To keep up with the spirit of the line by line translation, I left it as is but the
idea still remains the same.
Tú Eres Mi Destino / You Are My Destiny

Spanish English

La Puerta / The Door
Spanish
La puerta se cerro detras de ti
Y nunca más volviste aparecer
Dejaste abandonada la ilusión
Que había en mi corazón por ti
La puerta se cerro detras de ti
Y asi detras de ti, se fue mi amor
creyendo que podría convencer
A tu alma de mi padecer
Pero es que no supiste soportar
La penas que nos dio la misma adversidad
Asi como tambien nos dio felicidad
Nos vino a castigar con el dolor.

English
The door closed behind you
And you never reappeared
You abandoned the illusion
That was in my heart for you
The door closed behind you
And behind you, disappeared my love
Thinking that I could convince
Your soul of my suffering.
But it is because you did not know how to bear
The pain that gave us the same adversity
Just as it gave us happiness
It came to punish us with pain.
The door closed behind you
And you never reappeared
You abandoned the illusion
That was in my heart for you.
