Josefina

You know well, little princess, that when I saw your faceBien sabes, princesita, que al conocer tu imagen
I swore to love you always with all my heartJuré amarte siempre con todo el corazón
And I found myself captivated from that momentY me hallé cautivado desde aquel instante
By your precious lips that captured my loveDe tu preciosa boca que aprisionó a mi amor

Your black eyes are like beacons, shining brightQue son tus ojos negros dos faros, con sus luces
Lighting up my path. You must know tooAlumbran mi camino. Tú también has de saber
Morning star with diamond raysLucero mañanero con rayos diamantinos
That brings its glow to a beautiful dawnQue brinda sus fulgores a un bello amanecer

Oh beloved little virginBella virgencita amada
How I wish to kissCómo quisiera besar
Those honeyed lips of yoursEsa tu boca de miel
Like a rich fountainQue es de un rico fontanal
And that little black moleY ese tu negro lunar
You have on your cheekQue tienes en la mejilla
It's a wonderQue es una maravilla
I’m mesmerized just gazingMe embelezo al contemplar

Your face blushes, like petals of a roseTu rostro que sonroja, son pétalos de rosa
It gives a lively charm to your magical moleLe da un encanto vivo a tu mágico lunar
And your sweet smile, my sovereign nymphY tu amable sonrisa, mi ninfa soberana
Is a balm that heals my pain without endEs bálsamo que cura a mi pena sin cesar

May God will that tomorrow, our hearts unitedQuiera Dios que mañana, de corazón unidos
Guide our destiny with much happinessGuíe nuestro destino con mucha felicidad
Then, Josefina, I will proudly sing to youEntonces, Josefina, yo he de cantarte ufano
My most beautiful verses for all eternityMis más bellas estrofas por toda la eternidad

Oh beloved little virginBella virgencita amada
How I wish to kissCómo quisiera besar
Those honeyed lips of yoursEsa tu boca de miel
Like a rich fountainQue es de un rico fontanal
And that little black moleY ese tu negro lunar
You have on your cheekQue tienes en la mejilla
It's a wonderQue es una maravilla
I’m mesmerized just gazingMe embelezo al contemplar
