Cafe
Carol Welsman Lyrics

The lyrics of Carol Welsman's song, "Café," describe the singer's longing for her lover's presence and affection. The opening lines, "Quiero ver tu risa todo el día, escuchar la melodía de tu voz" (I want to see your laughter all day, listen to the melody of your voice), convey her desire to be in constant company with her lover, to bask in their laughter and conversation, and to simply revel in their presence. She further romanticizes her lover's beauty, wanting to be the "brillo de tus ojos" (the shine in your eyes), the "peine que desnuda tu esplendor" (the comb that reveals your splendor), and the "esquina que te ve cuando caminas" (the corner that sees you when you walk).

The third stanza, "La forma de tus labios y quiero ser tu ultimo dolor, te pido que me cures esta herida" (The shape of your lips and I want to be your final pain, I ask you to heal this wound), hints at a possible painful past between the singer and her lover. She acknowledges that her lover is not obligated to mend her wounds, but if she can provide solace from her fall, it would be her salvation. The final stanza, "Prometo intentar no hacerte daño, prometo darte todo lo que yo, prometo regalarte sin reparo mi corazon" (I promise to try not to hurt you, I promise to give you all that I have, I promise to gift you my heart without hesitation) reveals the singer's commitment to not inflict any harm on her lover, to give her all that she has, and to surrender her heart to her lover.
