Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey, Venus, oh, Venus
Venus, if you will
Please send a little girl for me to thrill
A girl who wants my kisses and my arms
A girl with all the charms of you
Venus, make her fair
And take the brightest stars up in the skies
And place them in her eyes for me
Venus, goddess of love that you are
Surely the things I ask
Can't be too great a task
Venus, if you do
I promise that I always will be true
I'll give her all the love I have to give
As long as we both shall live
Hey, Venus, oh, Venus
Make my wish come true

Hermosa canción de la década del sesenta, cuya interpretación original y en inglés lo interpretó Frankie Avalon. Lejana época que me recuerda los primeros años de mi juventud y que permanece grabado en mi memoria.

Con esta canción crecí, es la que me hace acordar a mi niñez, libre, despreocupado, feliz de la vida, la original no la conocí hasta muchos años después, pero debo decir no obstante lo maravillosa de la versión de Cafaro, la original es mucho mejor.
Julio Abanto
