A La Luz de Los Cocuyos
Ay, amor de mis amores te vengo a cantar mi copla;
ando lleno de ilusiones y quiero besar tu boca.
Quiero decirte cositas que traigo dentro del alma;
pero como son bonitas quiero decirlas con calma.
Yo no sé si vengas tu, yo no sé si vaya yo;
pero has de sentir mis besos y yo he de sentir los tuyos
y hemos de quedarnos presos a la luz de los cocuyos.
Te quiero mirar bonita sin penas y sin orgullos
y quiero echarme en tus brazos a la luz(falsete) de los cocuyos.
Cuantas noches de tu vida habrás pasado conmigo,
contando las estrellitas y solo Dios por testigo;
siempre con la cara al cielo, cobijados por la luna;
contando las estrellitas beso a beso, una por una.
Yo no sé si vengas tu, yo no sé si vaya yo...
Te quiero mirar bonita sin penas y sin orgullos...
In the Light of the Fireflies
Oh, love of my loves, I come to sing my song to you;
I am full of illusions and I want to kiss your lips.
I want to tell you little things that I carry inside my soul;
but as they are beautiful, I want to say them calmly.
I don't know if you will come, I don't know if I will go;
but you will feel my kisses and I will feel yours
and we will remain prisoners in the light of the fireflies.
I want to see you beautiful without sorrows and without pride
and I want to lay in your arms in the light of the fireflies.
How many nights of your life have you spent with me,
counting the little stars with only God as a witness;
always with our faces to the sky, sheltered by the moon;
counting the little stars, kiss by kiss, one by one.
I don't know if you will come, I don't know if I will go...
I want to see you beautiful without sorrows and without pride...
