Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
El suave murmullo
De tu suspirar
Como ríe la vida
Si tus ojos negros
Me quieren mirar
De tu risa leve
Que es como un cantar
Ella aquieta mi herida
Todo, todo se olvida
El día que me quieras
La rosa que engalana
Se vestirá de fiesta
Con su mejor color
Y al viento las campanas
Dirán que ya eres mía
Y locas las fontanas
Se contarán su amor
La noche que me quieras
Desde el azul del cielo
Las estrellas celosas
Nos mirarán pasar
Y un rayo misterioso
Hará nido en tu pelo
Luciernagas curiosas que verán
Que eres mi consuelo
La noche que me quieras
Desde el azul del cielo
Las estrellas celosas
Nos mirarán pasar
Y un rayo misterioso
Hará, hará nido en tu pelo
Luciernagas curiosas que verán
Que eres mi consuelo
