Body & Soul
Esperanza Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mi corazon esta triste y solo
Por ti suspiro carino por ti solo
Porque no has visto
Soy para ti cuerpo y alma

Mis dias pasan con tristeza
Y me pregunto porque me haces esto
En serio te digo
Soy para ti cuerpo y alma

Es tan dificil de creer
No puedo imaginar
Que tu rechaces mi amor

Acaso pretendes
Que pareces al final
Si al menos tuviera un chance mas

Mi vida esta haciendo pedazos
Tu sabes soy tuya
Ooh tomarme
Felizmente me rindo
Yo para ti cuerpo y alma

Es tan dificil de creer
No puedo imaginar
Que tu rechaces mi amor

Acaso pretendes
Pareces al final
Si al menos tuviera un chance mas

Mi vida esta haciendo pedazos
Tu sabes soy tuya
Puedes tomarme
Felizmente me rindo
Yo para ti cuerpo y alma

Soy para ti cuerpo y alma
Soy para ti cuerpo y alma

Taking this song in 5/4 is awesome! Singing it in the original key, amazing, she took this song to a whole other level in the way that Coleman Hawkins did when he recorded it. Thanks Esperanza for breathing new life into this wonderful jazz standard. usted es mi corazón

@stevenmontecucco9254

I've had the opportunity to play with Esperanza a few times in the last couple of years, and all I can say is that she is phenomenal. You should have heard her scat on Ray Charles' arrangement of "Oh what a beautiful morning." Anyways, the piano player is Leo Genovese. Glad to be of help

@JoyHarrison

What instrument do you play with her? I absolutely love her music!

@1000kdg

The pianist is great too. Esperanza is out of this world.

@diltonandrade9550

Very, very, very good. She sings in English, Spanish and in my language, Portuguese from Brazil.
Esperanza é sensacional. Voz suave, além de ser excelente instrumentista.

Amazing!

@winifredogilvie4179

Dilton Andrade,

@stephanieb663

@RCAvhstape

Her physical beauty is only the cherry on top of her gigantic cake of talent.
