Mi Media Naranja

My Better Half

Mi Media Naranja

At last I found my better halfAl fin halle mi media naranja
The brunette of my salvationLa morena de mi salvacion

For whom I swore that I was suffocatingPor la q jure q me ajuciaba
And God, damn it, sent her to meY dios caramba me la mando

Destiny, I was an adventurer but not dishonestDestino yo fui aventurero mas no deshonesto
And I swear I am loving her, she is my life, she is my loveY juro q la estoy quieriendo es mi vida es mi amor
And may God take my life if this is a lieY dios q me quite la vida si es mentira esto
On my knees and with Christ in hand, I swear before the creatorDe rodilla y con cristo en mano juro ante el creador
And how beautiful, black, is your profileY q bonito negra es tu perfil
Tender and natural toned skinCutis torneado tierno y natural

Noble and sincere, I met youNoble y sincera yo te conoci
To give myself to you and no one elsePara entregarme a ti y a nadie mas

I painted at Cabo de la VelaYo pinte en el cabo de la vela
On the beach our heartsEn la playa nuestros corazones
One Guajira night, my queenUna noche guajira mi reina
Because I remembered your lovesPorq me acorde de tus amores
But I went the next day earlyPero fui al dia siguiente temprano
And the waves maybe out of envyY las olas talvez por envidia
Erased what I had paintedLo q yo habia pintao lo borraron
But I saw your beautiful facePero yo veia tu cara linda

And I fell in love with herY yo enamorado de ella
And I am truly in loveY yo realmente enamorado

And just as I am, she isY asi como estoy yo esta ella
And so snugly we areY asi de acopladito estamos

Tell me what color I paint the moonDi de q color pinto la luna
Tell me what to do to turn off the sunDime q hago pa apagar el sol

Tell me what to do to kill your doubtDime q hago pa matar tu duda
If there is any, tell me, my loveSi existe alguna dime mi amor

I will always be the one to sing to you while carvingYo siempre sere quien te cante mientras de la talla
The most beautiful black woman in the world, my beginning and endLa negra mas linda en el mundo mi principio y fin
The one who will always pamper you when you're angryEl q siempre va a pechicharte cuando te vea brava
And you lower your furrowed brow and make you smileY bajes tu seño fruncido y te haga sonreir
And how beautiful, black, is your profileY q bonito negra es tu perfil
Tender and natural bronzed skinCutis bronceado tierno y natural

Noble and sincere, I met youNoble y sincera yo te conoci
To give myself to you and no one elsePara entregarme a ti y a nadie mas

And once again I returned to my GuajiraY otra vez regrese a mi guajira
South America in the full northSuramerica en el norte pleno
Face to face with you, beautiful MarinaFrente a frente a ti linda marina
I know I idolize you and love youSe q yo te idolatro y te quiero
And I love my entire ColombiaY q quiero a mi colombia entera
Which is very strong with a thirst for startingQ es muy fuerte con sed de arrancada
Colossal the wealth it hasColozal la riquea q tiene
From a compendium of everything and nothingDe un compendio de todo y de nada

And I fell in love with herY yo enamorado de ella
And I am truly in loveY yo realmente enamorado

And just as I am, she isY asi como estoy yo esta ella
And so snugly we areY asi de acopladito estamos
