For you, darling, I would shrink the nightPor ti cariño encogería la noche
To the size of your bedAl tamaño de tu cama
And I would buy your caresses by payingY compraría tus caricias pagando
With kisses my freedomCon besos mi libertad

For you, darling, I would lose my pridePor ti cariño, perdería mi orgullo
In the back room of my soulEn la trastienda de mi alma
And I would satisfy my vengeance by drinkingY saciaría mi venganza bebiendo
Like a madman on your lips afterwardsComo un loco en tu boca después

Because touching you I feel fear, lovePorque al rozarte siento miedo, amor
Of waking up and not hearing your voiceDe despertar y no oír tu voz
And when dawn arrives at your windowY que al llegar el alba a tu ventana
I open my eyes and only I am thereAbra los ojos y sólo esté yo

For you, darling, I would steal a starPor ti cariño, robaría una estrella
And watch over you in your nightsY que en tus noches té velara
And on the roads, I would pray to my swordY en los caminos, rogaría a mi espada
To make me worthy of youQue me haga digno de ti

I want to lose myself in the pack of your lipsQuiero perderme en la jauría de tus labios
Your mouth of honey is tormentTormento es tu boquita de miel
I caged my soul in your beautiful armorEnjaulé mi alma en tu linda armadura
Forged with your body and your skinForjadas con tu cuerpo y tu piel

Immersed in such thoughtsViéndose sumido en tales pensamientos
Don Quixote could not see (eh?)Don Quijote no acertaba a ver (¿eh?)
That the recipient of so much praiseQue la destinataria de tanto halago
Was not who he thought he saw (no!)No era quien creía ver (no!)

It was Maritornes, the Asturian girlEra Maritornes la moza asturiana
(And the other one, like Leticia Sabater)(Y del otro ¡pff!, como la Leticia Sabater)
Who, going to meet her lover muleteerQue yendo al encuentro de su amante arriero
Came across himSe topó con él
