Serenata Tapatía

Serenade from Guadalajara

Woman, open your window
so you can hear my voice,
the one who loves you is singing to you
with God's permission.

Although the night is dark
and there is no light here
with your divine beauty
you illuminate everything,
with your divine beauty
you illuminate everything.

I swear to you that not even the sun,
the moon, or the stars,
all together, illuminate like you.

You illuminated my life
that's why, dear woman,
I sing to you on this blue night,
that's why I come to steal
a ray of your light.
