Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
El suave murmullo de tu suspirar
Cómo ríe la vida
Si tus ojos negros me quieren mirar
Y si es mío el amparo
De tu risa leve que es como un cantar
Todo, todo se olvida
El día que me quieras
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
Luciérnaga curiosa que verá
Que eres mi consuelo
