The Way You Look Tonight
Tony Bennett duet with Thalía Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cuando me sienta tan mal
Cuando no haya paz
Pensaré en tu amor y en la manera
De que esta noche tu te ves.

Oh, but you're lovely
With your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
Just the way you look tonight

Tus palabras, tierna pasión
Quietan el miedo amor
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart

Lovely, never, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
Because I, I love you
Just the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
Y esa brisa, brisa de mar
Llena mi, mi corazón

Lovely, never, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
Because I, I love you




Just the way you look tonight
Just the way you look tonight

Esta fue la primer canción que le dediqué a quien fue mi esposa y duramos 16 años casados. Empezábamos nuestro noviazgo y la llevé a comer a un restaurante gourmet. Había un pianista a quien le pedí que si la podía tocar y lo hizo con gran maestría.
Nunca voy a olvidar ese día, estábamos muy enamorados. =)
Ya hace muchos años de eso, terminamos divorciándonos, pero aun le estoy muy agradecido por haber compartido muchos años de su vida a mi lado.
Ojala y sea muy feliz donde sea que este, y ojala si algún día escucha esta canción ella también pueda recordar ese día.
Que tengas una feliz vida G!! =)

Definitivamente cuando entregas algo con amor, plasmas un instante en el alma de las personas. De seguro, ella, siempre que la escuche , la memoria espiritual saldrá y volverá a recordar aunque sea por segundos
